Trade 1 of 2

San Francisco 49ers and Tampa Bay Buccaneers

San Francisco 49ers Win Tier: landmark Confidence: high

San Francisco acquired Steve Young from Tampa Bay for a second-round pick, a fourth-round pick, and cash, then had the luxury of developing him behind Joe Montana. Young eventually became a league MVP, a Super Bowl-winning starter, and a Hall of Famer, giving the 49ers one of the greatest quarterback succession outcomes in NFL history. The modest acquisition cost compared with Young's eventual peak makes this an overwhelming San Francisco win.

Las Vegas Raiders and Tampa Bay Buccaneers

Los Angeles Raiders Win Tier: major Confidence: high

The Raiders acquired linebacker Winston Moss from Tampa Bay shortly before the 1991 draft, sending the Buccaneers third- and fifth-round selections. Moss immediately became a full-time starter in Los Angeles and started 62 of 63 games across four Raiders seasons. Tampa Bay's choices, Robert Wilson and Tim Ryan, did not approach that sustained defensive value.
