Summary: Pittsburgh acquired 1973 conditional pick (if either Austin or Lanier makes Redskins roster) (not exercised) from Washington Redskins/Commanders for Ocie Austin; John Lanier. Analysis: The available record points to a balanced exchange rather than a clear steal. Pittsburgh addressed its roster or draft-board preference, while Washington Redskins/Commanders 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.
