Indianapolis Colts and San Francisco 49ers
Baltimore sent veteran tight end Tom Mitchell to San Francisco in July 1974 and received three selections in the 1975 draft: No. 53 Mike Washington, No. 105 Roosevelt Leaks and No. 157 Kim Jones. Washington became a long-time NFL defensive back, while Leaks rushed for more than 2,400 career yards. The three-pick return gave Baltimore substantial depth and long-term player value.
