Trade 1 of 3
Kansas City Chiefs and Tennessee Titans
Kansas City moved up to No. 23 in the 1979 draft for quarterback Steve Fuller, sending Houston the 31st pick and a 1980 second-rounder. Fuller started 31 games for the Chiefs over four seasons and showed mobility, but he never developed into a long-term franchise quarterback. The Chiefs received real starting value, just not enough to justify the full premium.

- Pick 1979 first round pick (#23-Steve Fuller)

Trade 2 of 3
Los Angeles Rams and Kansas City Chiefs
Los Angeles got 32 games and 18 starts from Eric Harris, including four interceptions in 1983, while Steve Fuller never played a Rams regular-season snap but was later traded for two draft picks, one of which became four-year Rams receiver Mike Young. Kansas City received useful one-season roles from Lucious Smith and Jewerl Thomas and later recycled its pick assets. Both sides found value, but the Rams' longer realized return earns the B+ to B edge.

Chicago Bears and Los Angeles Rams

Los Angeles got no Rams games from Michael Harper and 51 games but only two starts from Mike Young. Fuller's greater direct impact supports Chicago Bears Win, B to C+.
