Pat Batten

Summary: Pittsburgh acquired John Hilton; Pat Batten from Detroit Lions for draft pick (possibly 1966 #67-Bill Cody). Analysis: The available record points to a balanced exchange rather than a clear steal. Pittsburgh addressed its roster or draft-board preference, while Detroit Lions received comparable value in return. The grade is deliberately conservative because part of the source record is incomplete, conditional, approximate, or still too recent for a firm historical verdict.
