Dallas Cowboys and Kansas City Chiefs

Dallas Cowboys Win Tier: major Confidence: high

Kansas City moved from No. 8 to No. 6 in the 2002 draft to take defensive tackle Ryan Sims, sending Dallas the eighth pick, a third-rounder and a 2003 sixth-rounder. Dallas used the centerpiece on safety Roy Williams, a five-time Pro Bowler and first-team All-Pro, while Sims never developed into comparable impact. The extra selections make the Cowboys' side even stronger in hindsight.

Assets Received

Kansas City Chiefs
  • Pick 2002 1st round pick (6th overall, Ryan Sims)
Dallas Cowboys
  • Pick 2002 1st round pick (8th overall, Roy Williams), 2002 3rd round pick (75th overall, Derek Ross) and 2003 6th round pick (186th overall, Zuriel Smith)

Kansas City Chiefs and Tampa Bay Buccaneers

Tampa Bay Buccaneers Win Tier: major Confidence: high

Tampa Bay acquired defensive tackle Ryan Sims from Kansas City in May 2007 for a conditional 2009 seventh-round pick. The condition was tied to Sims spending at least six games on the Buccaneers' active roster in 2008 and was satisfied. Kansas City later returned the right to that pick to Tampa Bay in the Michael Bennett trade, while Sims appeared in 46 games and made 19 starts for the Buccaneers from 2007 through 2010.

Assets Received

Kansas City Chiefs
  • Pick conditional 2009 7th round pick (226th overall; condition earned, later returned to Tampa Bay in the Michael Bennett trade)
