Trade Analysis
The Exchange
Atlanta traded Bob Long to Washington on August 19, 1969 for a 1970 sixth-round draft choice. Multiple historical sources support the year and round. The possible connection to No. 147 Jade Butcher is not firm enough to present as certain, so Atlanta's return is recorded simply as the 1970 sixth-round pick.

Value in Hindsight
This trade benefits from a conservative factual ceiling. The round and year are enough to describe the cost accurately; adding an uncertain selection number would create false precision. Washington can be evaluated on Long, and Atlanta can be evaluated on a sixth-round asset without forcing the record further than the sources allow.
Final Verdict
Washington earns the B- and the win, while Atlanta receives C+. The Commanders acquired Long for a documented 1970 sixth-round choice. Keeping Jade Butcher out of the definitive return preserves the evidence-based comparison and still leaves Washington with the modest edge.
