Atlanta Falcons and San Francisco 49ers
Atlanta traded the No. 3 pick in the 1967 draft to San Francisco for Bernie Casey, Jim Wilson and Jim Norton. The 49ers used the selection on Steve Spurrier. Casey refused to play for Atlanta and was quickly redirected to the Rams, while Wilson and Norton produced limited Falcons value. Spurrier never became a star quarterback, but San Francisco still received the stronger durable return.

Philadelphia Eagles and Washington Commanders
Washington acquired Jim Norton from Philadelphia for Jim Carroll in June 1969. Norton appeared in five games and started four for Washington, giving the club a short but concrete return. Carroll did not provide Philadelphia with comparable regular-season value after the exchange, so Washington wins the deal, although Norton's limited tenure keeps the grades modest.

Trade 3 of 3
New York Giants and Washington Commanders
New York Giants received Jim Norton, while Washington Commanders received Bruce Anderson. Jim Norton did not match the immediate contribution Anderson supplied in Washington. New York therefore received the less productive side of the exchange. In hindsight, that direct return supports a D+ grade for New York Giants. The grade reflects realized football value from this exchange rather than reputation alone.
