Kansas City Chiefs and Pittsburgh Steelers
Kansas City sent quarterback Todd Blackledge to Pittsburgh for the 96th pick in the 1988 draft, ending a disappointing tenure for the former No. 7 overall selection. The Chiefs used the pick on J.R. Ambrose, who did not become a significant NFL player, but they still recovered draft capital for a quarterback whose starting opportunity had largely disappeared. That gives Kansas City only a narrow edge.
