Cleveland Browns and Los Angeles Chargers
San Diego traded linebacker Bob Babich and a 1975 fourth-round pick to Cleveland for the 1974 first-round selection used on Don Goode and the 1975 second-round selection used on Louie Kelcher. Babich became a six-year Browns regular, so Cleveland received legitimate value. Kelcher, however, became a Chargers Hall of Famer and one of the franchise's best defensive linemen, giving San Diego the stronger return.
