New England Patriots and New Orleans Saints
New Orleans Saints Win Tier: standard
Confidence: high
New England sent veteran guard Sam Adams to New Orleans on April 23, 1981 for the Saints' eighth-round selection, No. 194. The Patriots used the pick on Ken Naber, who did not become an NFL regular-season contributor. Adams, meanwhile, started all 16 games for New Orleans in 1981. Turning a late-round choice into a full season of starting line play gives the Saints the clear edge.
