New York Jets and Washington Commanders
Washington Commanders Win Tier: major
Confidence: high
This entry records the draft compensation tied to Verlon Biggs signing with Washington in 1971. Washington sent its 1972 first-round pick and 1973 second-round pick to New York while receiving the Jets' 1972 seventh-rounder. Biggs then started 55 games for Washington and helped reach Super Bowl VII, while first-rounder Mike Taylor played only 22 NFL games.
Pick 1972 first round pick (#20-Mike Taylor (b. 1949-09-21))
Pick 1973 second round pick (#51) [later traded with 1973 third round pick (#66-Pete Van Valkenburg) to New Orleans Saints for Richard Neal, Delles Howell and Richard Neal / Rich Neal]
New Orleans sent Richard Neal and Delles Howell to the Jets for 1973 second- and third-round picks. Steve Baumgartner became a useful Saints defender, but the Jets received the better combined player return: Neal developed into a multi-year starter and Howell added three productive seasons in New York. That sustained two-player contribution gives the Jets the hindsight edge.
Buffalo Bills received Scott Hunter from Green Bay Packers for Steve Okoniewski and Pete Van Valkenburg. The recorded outcome does not show enough separation to identify a clear winner.
