Green Bay traded kicker Brad Daluiso to Atlanta on August 26, 1991 for a future undisclosed draft choice, described contemporaneously as a 1992 selection. Daluiso appeared in only two games for the Falcons before being waived, while Green Bay at least converted a surplus specialist into future draft capital. The exact downstream pick remains unidentified, but the Packers earn a modest C+ to Atlanta's C-.

Trade Analysis
The Exchange
Green Bay's official trade history records the Packers sending Brad Daluiso to Atlanta on August 26, 1991 for a future undisclosed draft choice. Contemporary reporting described the compensation as a 1992 selection. NFL transaction pages list the player movement a day later, but the Packers' own historical ledger supports the August 26 trade date. The exact selection eventually conveyed is not identified, which limits the ceiling of the grade but does not make the transaction ungradable.
Atlanta Falcons Return Return
Atlanta acquired a kicker who had performed well during Green Bay's preseason while Chris Jacke was holding out. Daluiso appeared in two regular-season games for the Falcons and made two of three field-goal attempts before Atlanta waived him after arranging another kicking solution. The move provided short-term insurance, but it did not become a durable answer and the Falcons surrendered a future asset for only a brief stay.
Green Bay Packers Return Return
The Packers converted a surplus specialist into a future draft choice. Because the exact 1992 selection is not identified, Green Bay should not receive credit for a specific downstream player. Still, obtaining any future pick for a player who was blocked once Jacke returned was sound roster management. The value is modest but tangible and came without weakening the regular-season roster.
Value in Hindsight
The missing pick identity constrains precision rather than forcing an insufficient-evidence label. The transaction terms are supported by Green Bay's official history and contemporary reporting, and Daluiso's Atlanta tenure is clear. That is enough to determine direction while keeping the grade spread narrow.
Final Verdict
Green Bay Packers Win earns a C+ for the Packers and a C- for Atlanta. Green Bay monetized temporary roster surplus, while the Falcons received only two games from Daluiso before moving on.
