Trade 1 of 6

Denver Broncos and Los Angeles Chargers

San Diego/Los Angeles Chargers Win Tier: standard Confidence: high

Denver acquired running back Dickie Post from San Diego for a 1972 second-round pick, No. 30 overall. Post's Broncos stint lasted only six games and produced 44 rushing yards. The Chargers later used that premium pick as part of the package that brought Deacon Jones from the Rams, increasing the downstream value of the asset. San Diego wins because Denver received too little for a second-round price.

Assets Received

Denver Broncos
  • Player Dick Post / Dickie Post
Los Angeles Chargers
  • Pick 1972 second round pick (#30) [later traded with Jeff Staggs, 1973 second round pick (#31-Cullen Bryant) and 1973 third round pick (#60-Tim Stokes) to Los Angeles Rams for David Jones / Deacon Jones, Greg Wojcik and Lee White]

Trade 2 of 6

Los Angeles Chargers and Los Angeles Rams

Los Angeles/St. Louis Rams Win Tier: standard Confidence: high

San Diego acquired Deacon Jones, Greg Wojcik and Lee White from the Rams on January 29, 1972 for Jeff Staggs plus second- and third-round draft capital that became Jim Bertelsen, Cullen Bryant and Tim Stokes. Jones immediately made the Pro Bowl for the Chargers, but the Rams collected multiple useful pieces with longer combined value. The broader package gives Los Angeles the slight-to-clear edge.

Assets Received

Los Angeles Chargers
  • Player David Jones / Deacon Jones
  • Player Greg Wojcik
  • Player Lee White
Los Angeles Rams
  • Player Jeff Staggs
  • Pick 1972 second round pick (#30-Jim Bertelsen)
  • Pick 1973 second round pick (#31-Cullen Bryant)
  • Pick 1973 third round pick (#60-Tim Stokes)

Detroit Lions and New Orleans Saints

New Orleans Saints Win Tier: standard Confidence: high

New Orleans moved down from No. 58 in the 2007 draft and received picks 66 and 145, selecting safety Usama Young and cornerback David Jones. Detroit used the higher choice on defensive lineman Ikaika Alama-Francis. Young became a useful multi-year Saints defensive back and special-teams player, while Alama-Francis produced limited starting value for Detroit.

Assets Received

New Orleans Saints
  • Pick 2007 3rd round pick (66th overall, Usama Young)
  • Pick 2007 5th round pick (145th overall, David Jones)
Detroit Lions
  • Pick 2007 2nd round pick (58th overall, Ikaika Alama-Francis)
