Green Bay Packers and Los Angeles Rams
Green Bay acquired fullback Ben Wilson from Los Angeles for a 1968 second-round pick after Jim Taylor’s departure. Wilson immediately rushed for 453 yards and two touchdowns in 1967, added 88 receiving yards and helped the Packers win another championship, including 65 rushing yards in Super Bowl II. The Rams received a valuable No. 53 pick, but Green Bay’s immediate title-season payoff gives the Packers the edge.
