Summary: Pittsburgh acquired 1974 seventh or eighth round pick (conditional on Adams' playing time) (#165-Allen Sitterle / Al Sitterle) from New England/Boston Patriots for Bob Adams (b).

The grade is deliberately conservative because part of the source record is incomplete, conditional, approximate, or still too recent for a firm historical verdict.
