Dallas Cowboys and Detroit Lions
Dallas Cowboys received 1965 fourth round pick (#53-Bob Svihus) and cash. Dallas received Detroit's 1965 fourth-round choice, later No. 53, plus cash. The selection became Bob Svihus, but he did not create direct Cowboys NFL value. Dallas still obtained draft capital and financial consideration, though the realized football benefit remained modest. The balanced outcome supports a C+ grade for Dallas Cowboys.

Las Vegas Raiders and New York Jets
Oakland traded veteran tackle Bob Svihus to the New York Jets in August 1971 for a 1972 second-round selection. Svihus had lost his Raiders starting job to Art Shell, so Oakland converted an experienced but displaced lineman into premium draft capital. The Raiders used pick No. 39 on linebacker John Babinecz, giving Oakland a fresh roster asset for a player it was prepared to move.

- Pick 1972 second round pick (#39-John Babinecz)
