Cleveland turned Detroit's 1961 sixth-round pick into Frank Parker, who played 60 Browns games across five active seasons, made 17 starts in Pro Football Archives records and contributed to the 1964 NFL championship club. Detroit got 14 games from Willie McClung, including 11 at starting right tackle in 1960 before only three appearances in 1961. The longer, championship-era return gives Cleveland the B+ to C+ win.
