Minnesota Vikings and Tampa Bay Buccaneers
Minnesota acquired Tampa Bay's 1992 ninth-round pick for defensive back Jimmy Williams and used No. 227 on quarterback Brad Johnson. Williams gave the Buccaneers useful short-term defensive work, but Johnson became a significant Vikings quarterback and later remained a valuable NFL asset. Minnesota's direct years of starting quarterback play from such a low-cost selection make this a decisive Vikings win.

- Pick 1992 ninth round pick (#227-(James) Brad Johnson)

Minnesota Vikings and Washington Commanders
Minnesota traded Brad Johnson to Washington for the 11th and 73rd picks in the 1999 draft. The Vikings used No. 11 on Daunte Culpepper, who became a three-time Pro Bowl quarterback and threw for more than 24,000 career yards. Washington received a capable veteran who helped the 1999 team reach the playoffs, but Minnesota landed a younger franchise quarterback plus another premium asset.

Minnesota Vikings
- Pick 1999 1st round pick (11th overall, Daunte Culpepper)
- Pick 1999 3rd round pick (73rd overall subsequently traded, Joey Porter)
Washington Commanders
- Player Brad Johnson
