Trade 1 of 3
Detroit Lions and Los Angeles Rams
Los Angeles sent quarterback Bill Munson and a 1969 third-round pick to Detroit for Milt Plum, Pat Studstill, Tommy Watkins and Detroit's 1969 first-round choice. The Rams used No. 8 on Larry Smith, who produced more than 3,000 scrimmage yards in Los Angeles, while Studstill added useful punting value. Munson gave Detroit several seasons of quarterback play, making this a real exchange rather than a rout.

Arizona Cardinals and Detroit Lions
Arizona Cardinals received 1969 3rd round pick (73rd overall, Terry Brown) in the 1968-09-04 exchange with Detroit Lions. The Cardinals received the 1969 third-round pick used on Terry Brown, who supplied defensive and return-game value over two seasons. That return was substantial enough to balance Detroit's immediate gain. The direct return and the football value it produced drive the hindsight judgment. Against the assets Arizona Cardinals surrendered, the result supports Even Trade and a B- grade for Arizona Cardinals.
