Jack Mildren

The Baltimore Colts acquired a 1974 sixth-round pick that became Dan Rhodes, plus cash, from New England for Jack Mildren. The incoming value gave the Colts the stronger lasting return in a minor transaction.

Oakland Raiders acquired Tom Maxwell, the 1972 fourth-round pick used on Dave Dalby, and a seventh-rounder from the Colts for Bill Laskey and a 1972 second-rounder. The decisive asset was Dalby, who became a 14-year Raiders center and three-time Super Bowl champion; that long-term core value justifies a clear Raiders Win
