Dallas Cowboys and Green Bay Packers
Green Bay acquired Pro Bowl punter Ron Widby and defensive back Ike Thomas from Dallas shortly before the 1972 season for a future second-round choice. Widby punted well for two Packers seasons, but Dallas used the 1973 pick, No. 46, on receiver Golden Richards, who became a productive multi-year Cowboy. Richards' longer direct value gives Dallas the stronger return.
