Dallas Cowboys and Kansas City Chiefs

Dallas Cowboys Win Tier: major Confidence: high

Kansas City moved from No. 8 to No. 6 in the 2002 draft to take defensive tackle Ryan Sims, sending Dallas the eighth pick, a third-rounder and a 2003 sixth-rounder. Dallas used the centerpiece on safety Roy Williams, a five-time Pro Bowler and first-team All-Pro, while Sims never developed into comparable impact. The extra selections make the Cowboys' side even stronger in hindsight.

Assets Received

Kansas City Chiefs
  • Pick 2002 1st round pick (6th overall, Ryan Sims)
Dallas Cowboys
  • Pick 2002 1st round pick (8th overall, Roy Williams), 2002 3rd round pick (75th overall, Derek Ross) and 2003 6th round pick (186th overall, Zuriel Smith)
