NFL Trade Verdict
Los Angeles/St. Louis Rams Win
Oakland acquired Monte Jackson, who started regularly and contributed to the Raiders' Super Bowl XV championship team. The Raiders received legitimate value, even though the draft package became stronger.
Las Vegas Raiders Received
- player Monte Jackson
Los Angeles Rams Received
- pick 1979 first round pick (#19-George Andrews)
- pick 1980 third round pick (#70-LeRoy Irvin)
- pick 1981 second round pick (#56-Andra Franklin)
Trade Analysis
LeRoy Irvin's career gives the Rams the decisive edge, while Monte Jackson's useful Raiders tenure keeps Oakland at B rather than a failing grade.
