Atlanta Falcons and Minnesota Vikings

Atlanta Falcons received Ron VanderKelen from Minnesota Vikings for 1968 seventh round pick (probably #167-Oscar Reed) and 1969 draft pick (possibly #106-Jim Barnes). The recorded outcome does not show enough separation to identify a clear winner.
Atlanta acquired veteran running back Oscar Reed from Minnesota for a 1976 fifth-round choice. Reed played only seven games for the Falcons, rushing 14 times for 40 yards. Minnesota used the pick on defensive back Steve Wagner but released him before the 1976 season; his later 61-game NFL career came with Green Bay and Philadelphia. Neither club realized lasting value.
