Arizona Cardinals and Dallas Cowboys
Dallas Cowboys Win Tier: standard
Confidence: high
On 1970-06-05, St. Louis/Arizona Cardinals and Dallas Cowboys completed a deal that sent John Wilbur to St. Louis/Arizona Cardinals and 1971 third round pick (#69-Sam Scarber) to Dallas Cowboys. St. Louis never received the intended on-field benefit from Wilbur, while Dallas at least banked a third-round asset. Scarber did not become a major Cowboys contributor, keeping the win meaningful but short of a premium grade. That realized value supports a Dallas Cowboys Win verdict, with St. Louis/Arizona Cardinals graded C and Dallas Cowboys graded B.
Los Angeles Rams received John Wilbur from Arizona Cardinals for Mike LaHood. The recorded outcome does not show enough separation to identify a clear winner.
Los Angeles/St. Louis Rams Win Tier: major
Confidence: high
George Allen’s first major Washington move sent Marlin McKeever and seven premium-to-midround selections to Los Angeles for six veteran players and a fifth-round pick. Washington immediately gained experienced starters and became a playoff team, but the Rams converted the package into Isiah Robertson, Dave Elmendorf and additional draft assets. The long-term star power favors Los Angeles, though Washington’s immediate return was genuinely valuable.
