Minnesota Vikings and Pittsburgh Steelers
Minnesota acquired veteran defensive back Brady Keys from Pittsburgh for its 1968 third-round pick, No. 61. Keys provided the Vikings with short-term help, but his stay did not produce the same lasting value Pittsburgh received from the draft asset. The Steelers used the selection on Jon Henderson, who contributed across multiple NFL seasons after entering the league.

Arizona Cardinals and New Orleans Saints
St. Louis acquired John Gilliam from New Orleans and immediately unlocked a major offensive season: 52 catches, 997 yards, and nine touchdowns in 1969. The Cardinals paid Dave Long, Dick Kasperek, Brady Keys, and the second-round pick that became Richard Neal. Gilliam was clearly the best individual performer in the deal, but surrendering three veterans plus a second-rounder made the acquisition expensive.
