Trade 1 of 3
Detroit Lions and Philadelphia Eagles
Philadelphia acquired running back Larry Watkins from Detroit on October 6, 1970 for a 1971 second-round pick. Watkins became useful Eagles depth, playing 37 games with nine starts over three seasons and rushing for 456 yards. Detroit secured premium draft capital for a player who had been a part-time contributor. The exact downstream identity of the pick is disputed in surviving transaction records, so the grade does not depend on naming a specific draftee.

Buffalo Bills and Philadelphia Eagles
Buffalo Bills received Larry Watkins in the 1973-08-16 exchange with Philadelphia Eagles. Watkins immediately played all fourteen games with nine starts, rushed for 414 yards, added receiving value, scored three total touchdowns, and remained with Buffalo in 1974. Against Philadelphia Eagles's return of Dick Cunningham, that outcome supports a B grade. The transaction is judged Buffalo Bills Win, with the mark tied to the football value that actually followed from the deal.

Buffalo Bills and New York Giants
Buffalo traded running back Larry Watkins to New York on April 18, 1975 for the Giants' 1976 seventh-round choice, which became No. 195 overall. The Bills selected Texas A&M defensive back Jackie Williams, but he never appeared in an NFL regular-season game. Buffalo therefore converted a veteran reserve into a draft asset that produced no regular-season field value.

Buffalo Bills
- Pick 1976 seventh round pick (#195-Jackie Williams)
