Trade Analysis
Denver clearly received the superior realized return. Denver's side was led by Bill Hanzlik, while the principal outgoing value was rights to Wally Walker. The B+/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.
