Carl Garrett

The Raiders-New York Jets exchange brought Steve Tannen; Carl Garrett to Oakland Raiders and sent out 1977 seventh round pick (#195-Kevin Long (Fernando)); 1977 eleventh round pick (#307-Dave Butterfield). On hindsight value, this leans to the Raiders on long-term football value; the assigned Raiders grade reflects the same valuation-. The surrendered draft-capital component is central to the final grade

Dallas acquired Duane Thomas; undisclosed draft pick (possibly 1972 #35-Robert Newhouse); undisclosed draft pick (possibly 1972 #64-Mike Keller) from New England Patriots for Carl Garrett; 1972 first round pick (#10-Jeff Siemon). The deal strongly favors New England Patriots because Dallas surrendered far more durable value than it received.
