NFL Trade Verdict
Chicago Bears Win
Chicago received 1963 fourth-round pick No. 52 and the 1964 fourth-round No. 51 asset for Harlon Hill. The Bears later combined the No. 51 pick with their 1964 second-round selection and acquired the 1965 No. 3 pick used on Dick Butkus. That realized return makes this a decisive Chicago Bears win.

Trade Analysis
Chicago's A+ grade reflects compensation the Bears actually received when moving the acquired 1964 fourth-round pick: the 1965 No. 3 selection used on Dick Butkus. Butkus is not being credited as a later holder's terminal selection; Chicago itself acquired and used the pick.
