Paul Bradford

Summary: Pittsburgh acquired 1996 6th round pick (192nd overall subsequently traded, Bryan Stoltenberg) from Los Angeles/San Diego Chargers for 1997 5th round pick (146th overall, Paul Bradford) and 1997 7th round pick (218th overall, Toran James). Analysis: The available record points to a balanced exchange rather than a clear steal. Pittsburgh addressed its roster or draft-board preference, while Los Angeles/San Diego Chargers 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.
