Los Angeles Rams and Washington Commanders
Los Angeles/Cleveland/St. Louis Rams Win Tier: major
Confidence: high
Los Angeles traded the contract rights to Heisman Trophy quarterback Gary Beban to Washington for a 1969 first-round pick. The Rams used the No. 10 selection on receiver Jim Seymour. Seymour had only a modest three-year NFL career, but Beban appeared in just five games and never became Washington's quarterback of the future, leaving Los Angeles with the superior realized value.
Los Angeles Rams received Dick Evey and 1972 fourth round pick (#87-John Saunders) from Chicago Bears for Jim Seymour and Ron Smith (b. 1943-05-03). The recorded outcome favors Chicago Bears.
