Green Bay Packers received 1983 tenth round pick (#253-Byron Williams). Green Bay received Houston's 1983 tenth-round choice, later No. 253 Byron Williams. Williams did not become a Packers regular-season contributor, so the acquired selection produced little direct football value. The late-round nature of the asset limits the downside, but Houston received at least some immediate service from Mark Koncar and therefore edges the exchange. That result supports a D+ grade for Green Bay Packers.

Trade Analysis
The Exchange
On 1982-07-29, Green Bay Packers received 1983 tenth round pick (#253-Byron Williams), while Tennessee Titans received Mark Koncar. Historical team, transaction, draft, and player records support the package. The comparison focuses on the value each franchise actually controlled and the regular-season contribution created after the exchange.
Green Bay Packers Return
Green Bay Packers received 1983 tenth round pick (#253-Byron Williams). Green Bay received Houston's 1983 tenth-round choice, later No. 253 Byron Williams. Williams did not become a Packers regular-season contributor, so the acquired selection produced little direct football value. The late-round nature of the asset limits the downside, but Houston received at least some immediate service from Mark Koncar and therefore edges the exchange. That result supports a D+ grade for Green Bay Packers. The grade reflects the scale and durability of that return rather than simply the draft position or reputation attached to the asset at the moment of the trade.
Tennessee Titans Return
Tennessee Titans received Mark Koncar. The Houston Oilers side of the franchise received Mark Koncar. Koncar appeared in five games after the trade, giving Houston a small amount of direct veteran value. That contribution was limited, but it exceeded the regular-season return Green Bay obtained from the tenth-round selection, supporting a narrow franchise-side win rather than a strong grade gap. That result supports a C grade for Tennessee Titans. The same standard applies here: direct playing time, retained draft capital, and clearly documented later movement of an acquired pick matter more than a player selected by a different franchise later in the chain.
Value in Hindsight
Green Bay's official trade history records its acquisition of Houston's 1983 tenth-round choice, later No. 253 Byron Williams, for tackle Mark Koncar. Koncar appeared in five games for the Oilers after the trade, while Williams did not become a Green Bay regular-season contributor. Both returns were limited, but Houston realized at least some direct player value, supporting a narrecord Oilers-side franchise win rather than an even result. This hindsight view keeps later pick movement in context and avoids assigning another club's eventual player production to a team that had already moved the selection.
Final Verdict
The final call is Tennessee Titans Win. Green Bay Packers earns D+, and Tennessee Titans earns C. Those grades match the supported package and the relative football value each side realized from the transaction.
