Trade 1 of 2
Buffalo Bills and Denver Broncos
Buffalo acquired defensive back Tom Janik from Denver for the 1966 AFL seventh-round pick used on Scotty Glacken. Janik became a major Bills playmaker, including double-digit interception production across the next two seasons, while Glacken supplied Denver only limited service. Buffalo turned a late-round cost into high-end defensive value and earns the strongest grade in this wave.

Trade 2 of 2
Buffalo Bills and New England Patriots
Buffalo Bills received 1970 sixth round pick (#135-Grant Guthrie) in the exchange with New England Patriots. The sixth-round choice became No. 135 Grant Guthrie, who gave Buffalo a shorter and less efficient kicking stint than the multi-season value Janik supplied in New England. Against New England Patriots' return of Tom Janik, that result supports a C grade. The transaction is judged as New England Patriots Win, with the mark based on the football value that actually followed from the deal.
