Detroit Lions and Indianapolis Colts
Baltimore Colts Win Tier: standard
Confidence: high
Baltimore acquired Ed Mooney from Detroit for its 1974 fifth-round selection, No. 109. Mooney appeared in 13 games and started three for the Colts before being traded again the next January. Detroit flipped the pick to Atlanta for Willie Germany, who appeared in six Lions games. Both sides received short-term value, but Baltimore’s player contribution and later return give it the edge.
Atlanta Falcons received 1974 fifth round pick (#109-Henry Childs) from Detroit Lions for Willie Germany. The recorded outcome does not show enough separation to identify a clear winner.
Washington Redskins Win Tier: standard
Confidence: high
Washington acquired Henry Childs from New Orleans for the 1982 third-round pick that became No. 68, Kenny Duckett. Six days later, Washington moved Childs to the Rams for a better third-round choice at No. 61 plus a seventh-round pick. New Orleans still received useful value from Duckett, who produced 34 catches for 503 yards and four touchdowns as a Saint, but Washington’s immediate asset flip created the stronger return.
Washington Redskins Win Tier: standard
Confidence: high
Washington moved Henry Childs to the Rams only days after acquiring him and received Los Angeles’ 1982 third-round pick at No. 61 plus a seventh-round choice at No. 172. Childs gave the Rams seven starts, 12 catches, 145 yards and one touchdown in 1981. Washington’s third-round selection became Carl Powell, who never appeared in an NFL regular-season game, but the two-pick return still favored Washington’s asset management.
