New England Patriots and New York Giants
New England Patriots Win Tier: major
Confidence: high
New York Giants received undisclosed consideration, 1972 first round pick (#17-Eldridge Small), 1972 sixth round pick (#140) [later traded with undisclosed consideration to Atlanta Falcons for Rich Enderle / Dick Enderle and undisclosed consideration] and 1973 second round pick (#30) [later traded with undisclosed consideration and 1973 first round pick (#16-Steve Holden) to Cleveland Browns for undisclosed consideration, (Earl) Jack Gregory and Fred Summers / Freddie Summers] from New England Patriots for undisclosed consideration and Fred Dryer. The recorded outcome favors New England Patriots.
Pick 1972 sixth round pick (#140) [later traded with undisclosed consideration to Atlanta Falcons for Rich Enderle / Dick Enderle and undisclosed consideration]
Pick 1973 second round pick (#30) [later traded with undisclosed consideration and 1973 first round pick (#16-Steve Holden) to Cleveland Browns for undisclosed consideration, (Earl) Jack Gregory and Fred Summers / Freddie Summers]
Los Angeles acquired defensive end Fred Dryer from New England in 1972 for Rick Cash and a 1973 first-round pick that became Sam Cunningham. Dryer spent a decade with the Rams and developed into an elite defender, while Cunningham became New England’s longtime rushing leader and Cash supplied immediate starting work. Both clubs converted the exchange into major, durable value, making an even verdict the fairest hindsight result.
