Trade 1 of 2
Denver Broncos and Indianapolis Colts
Denver acquired the rights to No. 1 overall pick John Elway from the Colts for Chris Hinton, Mark Herrmann and a 1984 first-round selection that became Ron Solt. Elway became Denver's Hall of Fame franchise quarterback, leading five Super Bowl appearances and two championships. Hinton and Solt gave the Colts substantial value, but no return could match Elway's transformative career.

Atlanta Falcons and Indianapolis Colts
Atlanta converted the No. 1 pick in the 1990 draft into a broad package built around proven tackle Chris Hinton, explosive receiver Andre Rison and future first-round value. The 1991 first-rounder became Mike Pritchard, while the 1990 fifth-rounder became Reggie Redding. That collection gave the Falcons multiple productive starters and spread the risk of one premium selection across several valuable assets.
