Philadelphia Eagles acquired Jimmie Giles from Detroit Lions for 1988 ninth round pick (#234-Todd Irvin). The available record does not show enough separation to call a clear long-term winner.
Houston acquired the 1978 first overall pick from Tampa Bay and used it on Earl Campbell, landing a Hall of Fame running back and instant franchise centerpiece. Tampa Bay received Jimmie Giles and multiple picks, so the Buccaneers did get real value from the move. But Houston got the defining player, the larger historical legacy, and the cleaner hindsight win.
Miami acquired Ken Ellis from the Houston Oilers for the 1977 third-round pick used on Jimmie Giles and the fourth-round pick used on Warren Anderson. Houston received the stronger long-term return.
Los Angeles/San Diego Chargers received Eugene Morris / Mercury Morris from Miami Dolphins for 1977 fourth round pick (#98) [later traded with 1977 third round pick (#70-Jimmie Giles) to Houston Oilers/Tennessee Titans for Ken Ellis]. The recorded outcome is even.
