Cleveland Browns and Los Angeles Chargers
San Diego traded defensive tackle Ron East to Cleveland in July 1975 for the Browns' 1977 fifth-round selection, No. 128, later used on quarterback Cliff Olander. Olander appeared in 15 NFL games for the Chargers and made one start, while East gave Cleveland veteran defensive-line help. Neither side found a major long-term prize, so the direct East-for-Olander-pick exchange lands near even.

Los Angeles Chargers and New York Giants
Los Angeles Chargers received 1981 eleventh round pick (#280-Matt Petrzelka) in the deal with New York Giants. San Diego used the eleventh-round selection on Matt Petrzelka, who did not establish meaningful NFL production. The Chargers received little direct value from the draft asset. That outcome supports a D for Los Angeles Chargers. The Even Trade verdict weighs documented games, starts, production and connected draft value.
