Trade 2 of 3

Kansas City Chiefs and San Francisco 49ers

San Francisco 49ers Win Tier: standard Confidence: high

Kansas City received a 1980 ninth-round pick, correctly identified as No. 223, the selection used on Tom Tuinei. The Chiefs later moved that pick with another selection to Detroit for Larry Tearry, but Tearry was released before the 1980 regular season. The longer view produces a C grade for Kansas City Chiefs. San Francisco earns a B and Kansas City a C.

Assets Received

Trade 3 of 3

Detroit Lions and Kansas City Chiefs

Detroit Lions Win Tier: standard Confidence: high

Detroit received 1980 fifth- and ninth-round selections from Kansas City for center Larry Tearry, with the picks becoming Tom Ginn at No. 120 and Tom Tuinei at No. 223. Tearry was released by the Chiefs before the 1980 regular season, leaving Kansas City without game production from its acquisition. Ginn and Tuinei both appeared for Detroit, giving the Lions modest but real value from two late choices and the better side of the trade.

Assets Received

Kansas City Chiefs
  • Player Larry Tearry
Detroit Lions
  • Pick 1980 fifth round pick (#120-Tom Ginn)
  • Pick 1980 ninth round pick (#223-Tom Tuinei)
