Confidence: high
Los Angeles/San Diego Chargers received Dewey Selmon from Tampa Bay Buccaneers for 1984 fourth round pick (#89) [later traded with conditional pick (depending on DeBerg's playing time) (1985 #36-Richard Byrd / Ricky Byrd) to Denver Broncos for Steve DeBerg]. The recorded outcome favors Tampa Bay Buccaneers.
Pick 1984 fourth round pick (#89) [later traded with conditional pick (depending on DeBerg's playing time) (1985 #36-Richard Byrd / Ricky Byrd) to Denver Broncos for Steve DeBerg]
Tampa Bay Buccaneers Win Tier: minor
Confidence: high
Denver Broncos acquired 1984 fourth round pick (#89-Randy Robbins); conditional pick (depending on DeBerg's playing time) (1985 #36-Richard Byrd / Ricky Byrd); 1984 fourth round pick (#89-Randy Robbins); additional draft-pick details unavailable from source data from Tampa Bay Buccaneers for Steve DeBerg. The final verdict remains Tampa Bay Buccaneers Win, with the grades reflecting the recorded asset value and the available historical return.
Kansas City Chiefs Win Tier: standard
Confidence: high
Kansas City acquired veteran quarterback Steve DeBerg from Tampa Bay on March 31, 1988, sending safety Mark Robinson and 1988 fourth- and eighth-round selections to the Buccaneers. DeBerg became the Chiefs' primary starter for much of the next four seasons and delivered an excellent 1990 campaign, giving Kansas City substantially more immediate and sustained value from the exchange.
