Buffalo Bills and Philadelphia Eagles
Buffalo traded defensive tackle Jerry Patton to Philadelphia for the Eagles' 1975 second-round pick, No. 42, which the Bills used on linebacker Bob Nelson. Nelson later gave Buffalo 25 regular-season games across 1976 and 1977. That is meaningful realized value from a pick that had previously been left unidentified, supporting a B-minus grade for Buffalo.
