Trade 1 of 1
Detroit Lions and Pittsburgh Steelers
Detroit acquired reigning star Bill Dudley and tackle Jack Dugger from Pittsburgh. The Lions surrendered Bob Cifers, Paul White, the rights to Bob Chappuis, and their 1948 first-round choice, which became No. 3 overall Bobby Layne. Dudley and Dugger both contributed in Detroit, so the Lions received genuine immediate value, but the broad package they paid keeps their grade just below Pittsburgh's despite Pittsburgh's later handling of the Layne rights.
