Los Angeles Rams and Washington Commanders
Washington acquired veteran running back Larry Smith from the Rams in May 1974 for the 1977 fifth-round pick that became No. 130 Donnie Hickman. Smith offered Washington immediate experienced depth, while the later selection did not develop into a return strong enough to outweigh that practical roster value. Washington holds a modest hindsight edge.
