Cleveland Browns and Los Angeles Chargers
Los Angeles/San Diego Chargers Win Tier: major
Confidence: high
San Diego traded linebacker Bob Babich and a 1975 fourth-round pick to Cleveland for the 1974 first-round selection used on Don Goode and the 1975 second-round selection used on Louie Kelcher. Babich became a six-year Browns regular, so Cleveland received legitimate value. Kelcher, however, became a Chargers Hall of Famer and one of the franchise's best defensive linemen, giving San Diego the stronger return.
Los Angeles Chargers Win Tier: minor
Confidence: high
Los Angeles Chargers acquired 1981 fourth round pick (#107-Eric Sievers); 1983 fourth round pick (#95-Danny Walters) from Cleveland Browns for Don Goode. Los Angeles Chargers received the stronger recorded football value, matching the Los Angeles Chargers Win verdict.
Cleveland Browns received past considerations (undisclosed) from Oakland/Las Vegas Raiders for Don Goode. The recorded outcome does not show enough separation to identify a clear winner.
