NFL Trade Verdict

Indianapolis Colts Win

Baltimore Colts (franchise now Indianapolis Colts) acquired 1975 third round pick (#53-Mike Washington); 1976 seventh round pick (possibly #201-Ed Bauer) from San Francisco 49ers for Tom Mitchell. 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.
