Los Angeles Chargers Return
San Diego acquired No. 99 and selected Lewis Bush. Bush became a long-term Chargers linebacker and substantial starter, giving the club sustained defensive value from a fourth-round move. His longevity and role clearly exceed the combined Patriots return, making the Chargers the stronger side even though New England did receive some legitimate service from Corwin Brown.
New England Patriots Return
New England received No. 110 Corwin Brown and No. 138 Rich Griffith. Brown provided useful defensive-back service for the Patriots, while Griffith contributed very little regular-season value. The two selections were not worthless, but their combined direct impact did not match Lewis Bush's longer and more substantial Chargers tenure, leaving New England on the losing side.
Value in Hindsight
San Diego acquired No.99 and selected Lewis Bush, who became a long-term Chargers linebacker and substantial starter. New England received No.110 Corwin Brown and No.138 Rich Griffith. Brown supplied useful Patriots defensive-back service, while Griffith contributed very little in New England. Bush's longevity and larger direct role create a clear Chargers advantage despite Brown being a legitimate return. Those outcomes support Los Angeles Chargers Win. The grade spread remains proportional to the size of the deal and the strength of the realized value.
Final Verdict
Los Angeles Chargers receives a B+ and New England Patriots receives a C. The verdict is Los Angeles Chargers Win. The conclusion weighs usable contribution, duration, and significance while keeping later separate transactions outside the original bargain.
