NFL Trade Verdict
Even Trade
Detroit acquired John Hilton from Washington Redskins/Commanders for 1975 fifth round pick (#123-Willie McGee). Reassessed for curve balance as a true low-margin exchange. The available record does not show enough durable separation between Detroit's realized return and the partner's return to justify a directional win.
Detroit Lions Received
- player John Hilton
Washington Commanders Received
- pick 1975 fifth round pick (#123- Willie McGee )
Trade Analysis
Washington Redskins/Commanders received 1975 fifth round pick (#123-Willie McGee) and gave up John Hilton. Reassessed as a public, viewable even trade because the historical record points to comparable or limited realized value on both sides.
