Dallas Cowboys and Indianapolis Colts
Baltimore traded Ralph Neely's NFL rights to Dallas on August 29, 1965 for Billy Lothridge and a 1966 fourth-round choice, No. 54. The Colts later used that pick on Rod Sherman. Dallas earns an A+ because Neely became one of the defining linemen of the franchise's rise. Baltimore received a player and a fourth-round pick, but the long-term disparity is too large to call the package competitive.
