Cleveland Browns and Los Angeles Chargers

Los Angeles Chargers Win Tier: minor Confidence: high

Cleveland acquired defensive back Donald Frank from San Diego for a 1995 sixth-round pick, No. 197. Frank gave the Browns veteran secondary depth, but the Chargers used the selection on quarterback Craig Whelihan, who later started 14 games for San Diego across 1997 and 1998. Whelihan was not an efficient long-term starter, yet getting multiple quarterback starts from a sixth-round return outweighed Cleveland's short-lived veteran benefit.
