New England Patriots and Tampa Bay Buccaneers
New England Patriots Win Tier: standard
Confidence: high
Tampa Bay acquired veteran receiver Stephen Starring from New England in August 1988 for a 1989 third-round pick. Starring lasted only six games with the Buccaneers and caught three passes for 75 yards before finishing the season in Detroit. New England used the pick, No. 63, on tight end Marv Cook, who became a multi-year starter and an 82-catch receiver in 1991.
