Atlanta Falcons and San Francisco 49ers
San Francisco 49ers Win Tier: major
Confidence: high
Atlanta traded the No. 3 pick in the 1967 draft to San Francisco for Bernie Casey, Jim Wilson and Jim Norton. The 49ers used the selection on Steve Spurrier. Casey refused to play for Atlanta and was quickly redirected to the Rams, while Wilson and Norton produced limited Falcons value. Spurrier never became a star quarterback, but San Francisco still received the stronger durable return.
San Francisco 49ers Win Tier: standard
Confidence: high
San Francisco sent quarterback Steve Spurrier to expansion Tampa Bay for Bruce Elia, Willie McGee and the 1976 second-round pick used on Eddie Lewis. McGee immediately produced 269 receiving yards and four touchdowns in six games before a broken leg. The 49ers received multiple assets and more aggregate value than Tampa Bay realized from one difficult Spurrier season.
