AV Differential: 223

One month prior to the 1994 draft, the Indianapolis Colts shipped veteran quarterback Jeff George to the Atlanta Falcons. The following two years, George turned around and started 32 games, compiling a 16-16 record and 47 touchdowns. His AVs of 11 and 13 in 1994 and 1995 constitute his third- and first-best seasons of his 12-year career as a signal-caller.

Even that couldn't justify the price the Falcons paid to add the 26-year-old quarterback to their roster.

Equipped with additional picks, Indy grabbed Bryant Young in the first and James Bostic in the second. These two players were subsequently traded away, but Young's AV of 118 says everything for his successful career. The versatile defensive lineman counted four Pro Bowls, one All-Pro season and one Super Bowl championship.

It's not like the Colts needed that to justify their trade. After all, the 1996 first acquired in the George trade produced Marvin Harrison. The 19th overall pick slowly became one of the NFL's best wide receivers. Primarily hauling in passes from Peyton Manning, Harrison boasted three All-Pro seasons, eight Pro Bowl seasons and an AV of 161 for his 130-year career.

Harrison's Hall of Fame career is the key to the most lopsided trade we've seen in recent NFL history.
