Trade 2 of 2
Baltimore acquired fullback Jim Spavital from Chicago on August 27, 1950, sending the Bears its 1951 first-round choice. Spavital started nine games for the Colts and produced 484 yards from scrimmage with three touchdowns. Chicago then used the No. 2 overall pick on quarterback Bob Williams, whose NFL career totaled 981 passing yards and 10 touchdowns. The realized returns were much closer than the premium draft slot suggests.
