Indianapolis Colts and Pittsburgh Steelers
Pittsburgh Steelers Win Tier: standard
Confidence: high
Baltimore acquired the NFL rights to tackle Ed George from Pittsburgh for 1976 second- and fourth-round selections. George gave the Colts 12 games and two starts in 1975, so Baltimore received real short-term help. Pittsburgh used the premium pick on quarterback Mike Kruczek, who went 6-0 as a rookie starter, making the Steelers’ return stronger overall.
Pittsburgh Steelers Win Tier: minor
Confidence: high
Pittsburgh Steelers acquired 1982 seventh round pick (#172-Edmund Nelson); 1983 fifth round pick (#140-Gregg Garrity) from Washington Commanders for Mike Kruczek. Pittsburgh Steelers received the stronger recorded football value.
