Detroit Lions and Miami Dolphins
Detroit Lions Win Tier: standard
Confidence: high
Detroit acquired tackle Karl Baldischwiler for a tenth-round choice. Baldischwiler played all 16 games in each of his first four Detroit seasons and appeared in 73 games for the Lions from 1978 through 1982, giving the club years of dependable offensive-line depth and starting experience. The hindsight grade is B+, with the overall verdict recorded as Detroit Lions Win.
Indianapolis/Baltimore Colts Win Tier: standard
Confidence: high
Detroit traded tackle Karl Baldischwiler to Baltimore during 1983 training camp for a 1984 seventh-round choice. The Lions used No. 178 on Jimmie Carter, whose NFL career amounted to one game and did not create value for Detroit. Baldischwiler immediately started all 14 games he played for the Colts in 1983 and later returned to start additional games for Indianapolis, giving the Colts the clear advantage.
