Chronological Timeline
Trade 1 of 4
Dallas Cowboys received John Houser / Joe Houser and Paul Dickson from Los Angeles Rams for 1962 seventh round pick (#88-Jim Bakken) and cash. The recorded outcome does not show enough separation to identify a clear winner.
Trade 2 of 4
Dallas moved tackle Paul Dickson and its 1962 first-round pick to Cleveland during the 1961 draft for the Browns' No. 13 selection, then used it on Bob Lilly. Lilly became the first draft choice in Cowboys history, a Hall of Famer, and the foundation of the Doomsday Defense. Cleveland still received a top-four future pick that became Gary Collins, making its return respectable.
Trade 3 of 4
Minnesota sent Cleveland its 1962 second-round and eleventh-round picks for six players: Jim Prestel, Jim Marshall, Dick Grecni, Jamie Caleb, Billy Gault, and Paul Dickson. The Browns used the selections on Chuck Hinton and Ronnie Meyers. Marshall became the transformational piece, playing 19 seasons for Minnesota, anchoring the Purple People Eaters, appearing in four Super Bowls, and setting a remarkable durability standard.
Trade 4 of 4
Cleveland Browns received 1962 second round pick (#17-Charles Hinton / Chuck Hinton) and 1962 eleventh round pick (#142-Ron Meyers / Ronnie Meyers) from Minnesota Vikings for Dick Grecni and Paul Dickson. The recorded outcome favors Cleveland Browns.
