Trade Analysis
The Exchange
Pittsburgh transaction records show Urban Henry arriving from Green Bay on August 24, 1964 for a draft choice. ProSportsTransactions maps the compensation to the 1965 fifth-round selection at No. 59, while its draft ledger notes that the link is reconstructed from the Steelers media guide and the Packers historical draft record.
Pittsburgh Return
Henry immediately entered the Steelers lineup. Pro Football Reference credits him with 10 games and eight starts in 1964, along with two Approximate Value. It was only one season, but Pittsburgh received real starting defensive-line value from the deal.
Green Bay Return
The Packers used No. 59 on Mississippi guard Jim Harvey. Draft histories identify Harvey as Green Bay's fifth-round selection, but he signed with the Oakland Raiders in the AFL and never played a regular-season game for the Packers. His later six-year Oakland career does not count as realized Green Bay value.
Hindsight Comparison
The reconstructed pick chain carries some archival uncertainty, so the confidence should remain below the fully documented modern-trade level. Even so, both club histories point to the same fifth-round transfer, and the realized franchise outcomes are clear: Pittsburgh received eight starts from Henry, while Green Bay received no regular-season contribution from Harvey.
Final Verdict
Pittsburgh Steelers Win. A B- reflects useful but brief starting value from Henry. Green Bay receives a D+ because the acquired fifth-round choice produced no Packers games after Harvey chose the AFL.
