Dallas Cowboys and Philadelphia Eagles

Dallas Cowboys Win Tier: major Confidence: high

Dallas traded veteran guard John Niland to Philadelphia for a 1977 third-round pick. Niland started 13 games for the Eagles in 1975 but a knee injury cut short his Philadelphia tenure. Dallas used the No. 62 choice on Tony Hill, who became a three-time Pro Bowl receiver with 7,988 yards and 51 touchdowns. That extraordinary third-round conversion makes this a clear Cowboys win.
