Chronological Timeline
Trade 1 of 2
Pittsburgh Steelers received 1985 fifth round pick (#136-Cam Jacobs) from Washington for Rick Donnalley. The recorded outcome favors Washington.
Trade 2 of 2
Kansas City acquired center Rick Donnalley from Washington on April 29, 1986 and surrendered the sixth-round choice at No. 146. Donnalley gave the Chiefs useful immediate line help, including a starting role in 1986, so Kansas City received legitimate value. The problem is what Washington did with the pick: Mark Rypien became a two-time Pro Bowler and the quarterback of a Super Bowl champion.
