Indianapolis Colts and Los Angeles Chargers

Indianapolis Colts Win Tier: standard Confidence: high

Baltimore acquired San Diego's 1973 eighth-round pick, No. 189, and used it on defensive back Ray Oldham in exchange for veteran Tom Matte. Oldham became a multi-season Colts contributor with meaningful starting time, while Matte did not provide San Diego regular-season value after the transaction. The conversion of a retiring veteran into years of defensive depth makes this a clear Colts win.
