Trade 1 of 2
Denver Broncos and Seattle Seahawks
Denver traded its 2010 first-round pick to Seattle for the 37th choice in 2009 and selected cornerback Alphonso Smith. Smith lasted one season with Denver and made three starts. The future pick became No. 14, where Seattle selected Earl Thomas, a six-time Pro Bowler and three-time first-team All-Pro for the Seahawks. Few future-first trades have produced a clearer hindsight gap.
Assets Received
Seattle Seahawks
- Pick 2010 1st round pick (14th overall, Earl Thomas)
Denver Broncos
- Pick 2009 2nd round pick (37th overall, Alphonso Smith)

Denver Broncos and Detroit Lions
Denver Broncos received Dan Gronkowski and 2011 6th round pick (186th overall subsequently traded, D.J. Smith). Denver received Dan Gronkowski and a 2011 sixth-round choice. The package supplied only modest direct value, and neither piece matched the defensive production Detroit received from Alphonso Smith. Compared with Detroit Lions' return, the result supports a C- grade and fits the Detroit Lions Win verdict.
