Tennessee Titans and Washington Commanders
Washington Commanders Win Tier: standard
Confidence: high
Washington acquired veteran guard Ron Saul from Houston for three future draft choices, one each in the seventh round of 1977, sixth round of 1978, and third round of 1979. Saul became a durable Washington starter, appearing in 81 games with 77 starts over six seasons. That sustained line value outweighed Houston’s diffuse return from the future-pick package.
Pick 1978 sixth round pick (probably #157) [later traded to New Orleans Saints for Cliff Parsley]
Pick 1979 third round pick (#69) [later traded to Indianapolis/Baltimore Colts for 1979 third round pick (#72-Kenny King) and 1979 seventh round pick (#171-Tim Ries)]
Baltimore acquired wide receiver Mike Siani and a 1979 third-round pick for Raymond Chester and a 1979 second-rounder. Siani gave the Colts three seasons, and the draft choice retained value before being moved to Houston. The Colts received legitimate pieces, but neither matched Chester’s impact after his return to Oakland.
Tennessee Titans Win Tier: standard
Confidence: high
Indianapolis moved from No. 72 to No. 69 in the 1979 third round, sending Houston the No. 72 selection plus No. 171 in the seventh round. The Colts used No. 69 on Kim Anderson, who played 56 NFL games with 12 starts for Indianapolis. Houston used No. 72 on Kenny King, who later became valuable enough to headline a significant trade with the Raiders, while No. 171 Tim Ries added little. The Oilers hold a narrow edge.
Las Vegas Raiders Win Tier: standard
Confidence: high
The Raiders acquired Kenny King from the Houston Oilers in 1980 for veteran safety Jack Tatum and seventh-round selections in 1980 and 1981. King became a long-term contributor in silver and black, playing 85 games with 67 starts, rushing for 2,468 yards and participating in two Super Bowl championship seasons. Houston received recognizable veteran and draft value, but King's sustained production gives the Raiders the clear advantage.
