Detroit Lions and Kansas City Chiefs

Kansas City Chiefs Win Tier: major Confidence: high

Kansas City moved from No. 17 to No. 15 in 2008 and also received pick 76, selecting tackle Branden Albert and tight end Brad Cottam. Albert became a six-year Chiefs starter and Pro Bowler before Kansas City later traded him to Miami. Detroit took tackle Gosder Cherilus at No. 17 and also received later selections, producing solid value on both sides but leaving Kansas City with the best player in the exchange.
