Cleveland Browns and Green Bay Packers
Green Bay Packers Win Tier: major
Confidence: high
Cleveland sent defensive tackle Henry Jordan to Green Bay for the 1960 fourth-round pick that became Johnny Brewer. Jordan became a cornerstone of Vince Lombardi's defense, earned five straight All-Pro selections and four Pro Bowls, and played in the Packers' championship dynasty. Brewer did not approach that level of impact, making Green Bay the decisive long-term winner.
Cleveland Browns Win Tier: standard
Confidence: high
Cleveland converted veteran linebacker Johnny Brewer into a 1970 second-round pick, No. 36 overall, that became defensive end Joe “Turkey” Jones. Brewer still gave New Orleans 37 games and 31 starts from 1968 through 1970, so the Saints received real short-term value. Jones, however, developed into a 134-game NFL defender, giving Cleveland the stronger long-range return and the win.
