Buffalo Bills and Chicago Bears
Buffalo sent the 42nd and 73rd picks to Chicago to move to No. 26 in the 2006 draft for defensive tackle John McCargo. McCargo played only 44 career games, started once and never became the interior force Buffalo envisioned. Chicago used No. 42 on Danieal Manning, who became a versatile defensive back and elite returner, and No. 73 on Dusty Dvoracek, making the Bears' trade-down an emphatic win.
