Trade 1 of 1
Kansas City Chiefs and Tennessee Titans
Kansas City moved from No. 18 to No. 13 and selected Tony Gonzalez, who became the defining tight end of his era and one of the greatest players in franchise history. Tennessee received a multi-pick package led by Kenny Holmes, a productive defensive lineman, but no part of the return approached Gonzalez's Hall of Fame impact.
