Arizona Cardinals and San Francisco 49ers
St. Louis Cardinals received Ken Willard in the 1974-05-06 exchange with San Francisco 49ers. Ken Willard gave St. Louis a veteran back, but the move came late in his career and did not produce enough sustained value to outweigh the three selections surrendered. The direct package is the basis for the hindsight grade, with later movement of an acquired selection treated separately. That supports San Francisco 49ers Win.
