Kansas City Chiefs and Pittsburgh Steelers

Pittsburgh Steelers Win Tier: landmark Confidence: high

Pittsburgh moved up from No. 27 to No. 16 in the 2003 draft and selected Troy Polamalu, one of the defining defenders of his era. Kansas City received extra value by moving down and landed Larry Johnson, who had a brief but powerful peak. But the Steelers got a Hall of Fame safety, a Defensive Player of the Year, and a two-time Super Bowl champion. That makes Pittsburgh the clear winner.
