Las Vegas Raiders and Pittsburgh Steelers

Las Vegas Raiders Win Tier: standard Confidence: high

Oakland sent a 2000 third-round pick to Pittsburgh for two 1999 fifth-rounders, Nos. 146 and 163. The Raiders used No. 146 on linebacker Eric Barton, who played 160 NFL games and recorded 20 sacks. Pittsburgh later used the acquired third-rounder on Hank Poteat, a 110-game defensive back and returner. Both sides found NFL players, but Barton became the more impactful long-term starter.
