Arizona Cardinals and Los Angeles Chargers
Arizona turned the second pick in the 1998 draft into an enormous package from San Diego: Eric Metcalf, Patrick Sapp, the No. 3 and No. 33 selections in 1998, and a 1999 first-rounder. Those picks became Andre Wadsworth, Corey Chavous and David Boston. Not every piece became a star, but the Cardinals diversified one premium asset into multiple starters while the quarterback selected by San Diego became an historic bust.

Los Angeles Chargers and Miami Dolphins
Miami acquired wide receiver David Boston from San Diego in 2004 for cornerback Jamar Fletcher and a 2005 sixth-round pick. Boston missed the entire 2004 season with a knee injury and caught only four passes for 80 yards in five games for Miami in 2005. Fletcher played 30 games for the Chargers over two seasons, while the pick became Wes Sims. Modest value was enough for San Diego to win clearly.
