Los Angeles Chargers received 1983 eighth round pick (#202-Earnest Jackson) and 1985 seventh round pick (#196-Mark Fellows). The Chargers received the eighth-round choice that became Earnest Jackson and a later seventh-round choice. Jackson became a 1,000-yard rusher for San Diego and was later moved for additional draft capital, creating substantial value from a late selection. Jackson's production and later trade value created a major advantage for the Chargers over Horn's brief San Francisco tenure. That outcome supports an A grade for Los Angeles Chargers.

Los Angeles Chargers Return
Los Angeles Chargers received 1983 eighth round pick (#202-Earnest Jackson) and 1985 seventh round pick (#196-Mark Fellows). The Chargers received the eighth-round choice that became Earnest Jackson and a later seventh-round choice. Jackson became a 1,000-yard rusher for San Diego and was later moved for additional draft capital, creating substantial value from a late selection. Jackson's production and later trade value created a major advantage for the Chargers over Horn's brief San Francisco tenure. That outcome supports an A grade for Los Angeles Chargers. The grade reflects the practical return created for this franchise rather than merely the name attached to a pick after later movement.
San Francisco 49ers Return
San Francisco 49ers received Bob Horn. San Francisco acquired Bob Horn, who played only 17 regular-season games for the 49ers. His contribution did not approach the rushing value and later asset return the Chargers realized from Jackson. Jackson's production and later trade value created a major advantage for the Chargers over Horn's brief San Francisco tenure. That outcome supports a C+ grade for San Francisco 49ers. This side is judged on the value it actually controlled after the trade, including documented playing time and clearly traceable use of acquired selections.
Value in Hindsight
Jackson's production and later trade value created a major advantage for the Chargers over Horn's brief San Francisco tenure. The comparison gives the most weight to regular-season contribution, starting value, and clearly documented conversion of acquired draft capital. Later selections by another holder are useful for tracing a pick, but they are not treated as on-field production for a club that had already moved the asset.
Final Verdict
The final call is Los Angeles/San Diego Chargers Win. Los Angeles Chargers earns A, and San Francisco 49ers earns C+. Those grades match the supported package and the relative football value each side ultimately realized, without overstating the exchange or assigning another club's later player outcome to the wrong team.
