Los Angeles Rams and Pittsburgh Steelers
The Rams received Ernie Conwell and the 1997 fourth-round No. 121 asset, then used that pick with other compensation in the move that produced Ryan Tucker. Jerome Daniels was selected by a later holder and is provenance only. The Rams' realized return was better than the prior D grade indicated.

Trade Analysis
The Rams' B- grade reflects Ernie Conwell and the onward compensation value tied to the No. 121 asset. Jerome Bettis still became the defining player by an overwhelming margin, preserving Pittsburgh's A+ grade and winning verdict.
