Trade Analysis
Neither side produced a durable realized-value advantage. Denver's side was led by Steve Jones, while the principal outgoing value was Marv Roberts. The C-/C- grades reflect the players and picks that actually materialized, with contract, age, competitive-window fit, and downstream pick conversion treated as context rather than substitutes for realized value.
