Los Angeles Rams and Multiple Teams Chicago Bears
Los Angeles/Cleveland/St. Louis Rams Win Tier: major
Confidence: high
Los Angeles Rams received Lindon Crow, either a high draft pick or a player to be named before the 1961 season begins (from Bears) (Zeke Bratkowski on 1961-03-14), 1962 first round pick (from Giants) (#13) [later traded with Del Shofner to New York Giants for 1962 first round pick (#2-Roman Gabriel)] and 1962 sixth round pick (from Giants) (selection not identified) from Multiple Teams Chicago Bears for Bill Wade / Billy Wade, John Guzik and 1962 fifth round pick (#59-Curtis Miranda). The recorded outcome favors Los Angeles Rams.
Los Angeles received the No. 2 pick in the 1962 draft from New York and used it on quarterback Roman Gabriel; the Giants received star receiver Del Shofner and the No. 13 pick, used on Jerry Hillebrand. Gabriel became an MVP and long-term Rams quarterback, while Shofner earned three straight first-team All-Pro honors in New York and helped the Giants reach three consecutive NFL title games.
Los Angeles/Cleveland/St. Louis Rams Win Tier: major
Confidence: high
Los Angeles sent quarterback Roman Gabriel to Philadelphia for a five-asset package: Harold Jackson, Tony Baker, the 1974 first-round pick used on John Cappelletti, the 1975 first-round pick used on Dennis Harrah, and the 1975 third-round pick used on Dan Nugent. Gabriel immediately revived the Eagles offense, but Jackson and especially Harrah gave the Rams far more sustained value over the following decade.
