Trade Analysis
Denver finished with the stronger realized-value outcome. Denver's side was led by Chris Whitney, while the principal outgoing value was George McCloud. 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.
