San Francisco added fullback Mike Hogan from Philadelphia in 1979 and agreed to send a 1981 seventh-round pick. Hogan played two 49ers games, then was bundled with Tony Dungy in the 1980 trade that brought Ray Rhodes and Jimmy Robinson from the Giants.
Philadelphia Eagles Received

Trade Analysis
The Exchange
San Francisco's official media guides describe the 1979 transaction as adding Mike Hogan to the roster in exchange for a 1981 seventh-round pick. The pick became No. 174, which Philadelphia used on kicker Alan Duncan.
San Francisco Return
Hogan appeared in two 49ers regular-season games in 1979, rushing nine times for 31 yards and catching nine passes for 65 yards. His direct San Francisco production was limited, but he retained trade value: on March 27, 1980 the 49ers bundled Hogan with Tony Dungy and sent both to the Giants for Ray Rhodes and Jimmy Robinson. Because Hogan was only one of two outgoing players, that downstream package cannot be credited entirely to him, but the trade confirms he still had usable asset value.
Philadelphia Return
The Eagles used the acquired No. 174 pick on Alan Duncan. Pro Football Reference lists Duncan as a 1981 seventh-round selection but records no NFL regular-season career.
Hindsight Comparison
Philadelphia received no regular-season value from the realized pick. San Francisco received two games of offense from Hogan and then used him as one component of a later player-for-player package.
Final Verdict
San Francisco 49ers Win, B- to D+. Hogan's direct production was modest, so the grade stays restrained, but his short-term use plus downstream trade value exceeded a draft pick that produced no NFL regular-season appearances.
