9. Indianapolis Colts Trade Marshall Faulk To St. Louis Rams:
Former San Diego St. workhorse Faulk proved his skillset could translate to the NFL level in his early-career years with the Indianapolis Colts. So it was a bit of a head-scratcher that they sent Faulk to St. Louis for second and fifth-round picks.

That deal turned out to be an outright robbery, however, when St. Louis launched their infamous “Greatest Show On Turf” attack in 1999. Paired with quarterback Kurt Warner and wide receivers Isaac Bruce and Torry Holt, Faulk was a versatile weapon who racked up yards on the ground and through the air. It could be argued he set the blueprint for the versatile, dual-threat running backs of today. The Rams made up for their foolish trade of Bettis years earlier with this deal for Hall of Fame inductee Faulk.
