Arizona Cardinals and Indianapolis Colts
Indianapolis acquired linebacker Dave Ahrens from St. Louis on August 27, 1985, for a 1986 tenth-round pick. Ahrens appeared in 44 regular-season games for the Colts over three seasons and started 10 games in 1986. St. Louis used the No. 255 selection on receiver Wes Smith, who played only one NFL game. Indianapolis converted a late pick into substantially more usable roster value and wins the exchange.
