Los Angeles Chargers and Los Angeles Rams
The Chargers received the 1975 sixth-round choice at No. 151, then moved that pick to Chicago for Jim Harrison before the Bears selected Tom Hicks. Harrison did not deliver a regular-season return for San Diego, so the downstream value was minimal. That outcome supports a D+ grade within the Los Angeles Rams Win verdict. The grade reflects realized football value rather than the size of the original package.
Assets Received
Los Angeles Chargers
- Pick 1975 sixth round pick (#151; later traded to Chicago for Jim Harrison; Chicago selected Tom Hicks)
Los Angeles Rams
