The Bengals traded Hunley's rights to the Broncos for three draft picks, which ended up being Tim McGee (1986 first round pick), David Fulcher (1986 third round pick) and Greg Horne (1987 fifth round pick).
Fulcher was a beast for the '88 Super Bowl defense. He went to three Pro Bowls ('88-'90) and was First Team All Pro in '89.
McGee ended up with 282 receptions as a Bengal including a huge year in '89 (65 rec, 1211 yds, 18.1 avg, 8 tds). He finished in the top ten in yards per catch 3 straight years ('88-'90) and in '86 he lead the league in total kick off return yardage and was 4th in average per return.
Greg Horne was our punter for 4 games in '87.
Considering that Hunley never amounted to much (7 seasons with 3 different teams. Only 30 career starts.) that was arguably the best trade in Bengal history.
