Philadelphia received Red Mack and Glenn Glass.

Philadelphia Eagles Return
Philadelphia received Red Mack and Glenn Glass. Mack contributed as a receiver, so the Eagles did receive useful value, but the combined Pittsburgh return of Peaks and Harrison was deeper and more productive, leaving Philadelphia behind without making the deal one-sided. The C+ grade reflects that realized football value and the complete supported package, while the overall verdict is Pittsburgh Steelers Win.
Pittsburgh Steelers Return
Pittsburgh received Bob Harrison and Clarence Peaks. Peaks supplied meaningful immediate production and Harrison provided starts, giving the Steelers useful value from two players and a stronger combined return than Philadelphia ultimately received from its side. The B grade reflects that realized football value and the complete supported package, while the overall verdict is Pittsburgh Steelers Win.
Value in Hindsight
The decisive difference is realized value rather than the nominal size of the package. Pittsburgh Steelers turned its return into the stronger on-field outcome, while Philadelphia Eagles received less durable or less productive value. That gap supports the Pittsburgh Steelers Win conclusion and the B versus C+ grading split.
Final Verdict
The final call is Pittsburgh Steelers Win. Philadelphia Eagles earns a C+, and Pittsburgh Steelers earns a B. Those grades weigh the documented assets, the length and quality of the resulting contributions, and the practical value each club actually realized after the exchange.
