NFL Trade Verdict

Even Trade

Summary: Pittsburgh acquired 1972 draft pick (possibly #80-Lorenzo Brinkley); 1972 draft pick (possibly #159-Joe Colquitt) from New York Giants for Larry Gagner. Analysis: The available record points to a balanced exchange rather than a clear steal. Pittsburgh addressed its roster or draft-board preference, while New York Giants received comparable value in return. The grade is deliberately conservative because part of the source record is incomplete, conditional, approximate, or still too recent for a firm historical verdict.
