That the Chargers traded the 1st Pick (Michael Vick) to the Atlanta Falcons in exchange for the 5th (LaDainian Tomlinson).
2001 NFL Draft
The San Diego Chargers selected Tomlinson in the first round of the 2001 NFL Draft, as the fifth overall pick. It should be noted that the Chargers possessed the Draft’s first selection, but traded the pick to the Atlanta Falcons, who drafted Michael Vick. In this way, many consider that Vick and Tomlinson were “traded” for each other, although the transaction was actually the result of traded draft picks and contract negotiations.[11]
The Chargers gave the rights to select Vick at the 1st pick to the Falcons in exchange for the fifth overall pick in the first round (Tomlinson), the 67th overall pick in the third-round (Tay Cody), their second-round pick in 2002 which turned into Reche Caldwell as the 48th overall pick that year and wide receiver Tim Dwight.[12]
Wonder if they are happy about that?
derrrrrrrrrrrrrrr
