Tennessee Titans and Washington Commanders
Washington Commanders Win Tier: standard
Confidence: high
Washington acquired veteran guard Ron Saul from Houston for three future draft choices, one each in the seventh round of 1977, sixth round of 1978, and third round of 1979. Saul became a durable Washington starter, appearing in 81 games with 77 starts over six seasons. That sustained line value outweighed Houston’s diffuse return from the future-pick package.
Pick 1978 sixth round pick (probably #157) [later traded to New Orleans Saints for Cliff Parsley]
Pick 1979 third round pick (#69) [later traded to Indianapolis/Baltimore Colts for 1979 third round pick (#72-Kenny King) and 1979 seventh round pick (#171-Tim Ries)]
New Orleans Saints received draft pick (possibly 1978 #157-Francis Chesley) from Houston Oilers/Tennessee Titans for Cliff Parsley. The possible draft return and Cliff Parsley's limited documented value leave the transaction even.
