Arizona Cardinals and Los Angeles Chargers

Arizona Cardinals Win Tier: landmark Confidence: high

The Ryan Leaf trade-up became one of the most infamous quarterback draft failures in NFL history. The Chargers moved up to No. 2 overall and selected Leaf, while Arizona received a major package that included players and premium picks. Leaf's career collapsed quickly, making the Cardinals the clear value winner. It remains a priority indexing page because the Ryan Leaf trade is permanently tied to NFL draft-bust history.

Assets Received

Los Angeles Chargers
  • Pick 1998 1st round pick (2nd overall, Ryan Leaf)
Arizona Cardinals
  • Pick Eric Metcalf, Patrick Sapp, 1998 1st round pick (3rd overall, Andre Wadsworth), 1998 2nd round pick (33rd overall, Corey Chavous) and 1999 1st round pick (8th overall, David Boston)

Los Angeles Chargers and Miami Dolphins

Los Angeles Chargers Win Tier: standard Confidence: high

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.
