Buffalo Bills and San Francisco 49ers
Buffalo Bills received 1977 fifth round pick (#127-Neil O'Donoghue) in the exchange with San Francisco 49ers. Buffalo received the fifth-round choice that became Neil O'Donoghue, but that return did not match the starting and peak value Washington produced in San Francisco.

Detroit Lions and San Francisco 49ers
Detroit acquired Dave Washington from San Francisco for a 1979 fifth-round selection. Washington appeared in all 16 games for the Lions in 1978 and seven more in 1979, giving Detroit useful veteran defensive service. San Francisco used No. 119 on Jerry Aldridge, whose NFL career produced only one regular-season appearance. The fifth-round asset was legitimate, but the player outcome did not approach Washington’s two-season Detroit contribution, creating a clear Lions win.
