Dick Moegle / Dicky Moegle / Dickie Moegle

Summary: Pittsburgh acquired Bill Butler (a); Dick Klein from Dallas Cowboys for Dick Moegle / Dicky Moegle / Dickie Moegle. Analysis: The available record points to a balanced exchange rather than a clear steal. Pittsburgh addressed its roster or draft-board preference, while Dallas Cowboys received comparable value in return.

Summary: Pittsburgh surrendered the sixth overall pick in the 1961 draft for halfback Dick Moegle. San Francisco used the pick to select Jimmy Johnson, who became a Hall of Fame cornerback. Analysis: Jimmy Johnson (CB) was inducted into the Pro Football Hall of Fame after an outstanding 16-year career in San Francisco. Dick Moegle, while a legitimate player, was nearing the end of his career. Pittsburgh gave up top-six draft value for an aging contributor — a clear loss. The original verdict of "San Francisco Lean" understates the damage. Upgraded to a clear San Francisco Win.
