New England Patriots and San Francisco 49ers
San Francisco 49ers Win Tier: standard
Confidence: high
San Francisco traded tight end Bob Windsor to New England on July 31, 1972 for the Patriots' 1974 first-round selection. Windsor had a limited Patriots tenure, while the 49ers ultimately used the ninth overall pick on running back Wilbur Jackson. Securing a top-ten first-rounder for a non-core veteran created a major long-term asset advantage for San Francisco.
