NFL Trade Verdict

Indianapolis Colts Win

Baltimore Colts (franchise now Indianapolis Colts) acquired 1963 second round pick (#24-George Wilson / Butch Wilson) from Pittsburgh Steelers for John Sample / Johnny Sample. Hindsight favors the Colts side the edge because the incoming value produced more lasting franchise value than the package surrendered. The grade is still scaled to the trade tier so minor cash or depth moves do not receive exaggerated treatment.
