Trade Analysis
New England Patriots received 1976 eighth round pick (#235-Stu Betts) and 1977 sixth round pick (#166) [later traded to Detroit Lions for Marlin Briscoe], while Minnesota Vikings received Doug Dumler. The recorded results support the C+/C grades and New England Patriots Win verdict.

The C+ to C margin preserves a slight Patriots edge from the two-pick return.
