NFL Trade Verdict

Even Trade

Summary: Pittsburgh acquired Richard Compton / Dick Compton from Atlanta Falcons for 1968 sixth round pick (#147-Joe Wynns). Analysis: The available record points to a balanced exchange rather than a clear steal. Pittsburgh addressed its roster or draft-board preference, while Atlanta Falcons received comparable value in return. The grade is deliberately conservative because part of the source record is incomplete, conditional, approximate, or still too recent for a firm historical verdict.
