Trade Analysis
The completed outcomes do not support a meaningful realized-value advantage for either side. Denver's side was led by Joe Smith (Leynard), while the principal outgoing value was Ruben Patterson. The B/B 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.
