Chronological Timeline
Trade 1 of 2
Denver Broncos received Bill Cronin, while Miami Dolphins received Ray Jacobs. Bill Cronin produced far less value in Denver. The Broncos did not receive a contribution comparable to Jacobs' importance for Miami. In hindsight, that direct return supports a D+ grade for Denver Broncos. The grade reflects realized football value from this exchange rather than reputation alone.
Trade 2 of 2
Buffalo Bills received 1971 eighth round pick (#183-Louis Ross), while New England Patriots received Ray Jacobs. Buffalo sent Ray Jacobs to Boston and received the 1971 eighth-round choice used at No. 183 on Louis Ross. Jacobs' Patriots stay was brief and later interrupted by a serious back injury, while Ross at least reached NFL regular-season action after Buffalo drafted him. Buffalo Bills earns a C+ grade, and the overall verdict is Buffalo Bills Win.
