Indianapolis Colts and New York Giants
Baltimore traded defensive lineman Bob Lurtsema to New York on September 22, 1967, for the 1968 fifth-round pick used on Paul Elzey. Lurtsema became a multi-year Giants starter, appearing in 62 games and starting 57 from 1967 through 1971. Elzey did not create comparable Colts value, so New York turned a fifth-round cost into a durable starting defender.
