Kansas City Chiefs and New Orleans Saints
New Orleans acquired linebacker Whitney Paul from Kansas City in 1982 for the 1983 seventh-round pick that became Daryl Posey. Paul became a four-year Saints starter-level defender, appearing in 55 games with 39 starts and producing 23 sacks from 1982 through 1985. Kansas City's pick produced no Chiefs regular-season games, making this a substantial New Orleans win from a modest late-round investment.
