Denver Broncos and Kansas City Chiefs
Denver sent Wendell Hayes and Goldie Sellers to Kansas City for third- and fourth-round picks in the 1968 draft. The Broncos used those selections on Bob Vaughan and Drake Garrett, but the draft return did not produce comparable value. Hayes and Sellers both became part of Kansas City's Super Bowl IV championship team, giving the Chiefs useful veteran contributions during an important competitive window.
