Los Angeles Chargers and Washington Commanders
The Chargers traded veteran guard Walt Sweeney to Washington for a 1974 fifth-rounder, a 1975 sixth-rounder, and a 1976 fourth-rounder. The 1976 selection is correctly No. 115 Artie Owens, not No. 110 Herb McMath. Turning one veteran into three draft assets gave the Chargers the broader long-term return and a modest hindsight edge.
