Chronological Timeline
Trade 1 of 3
New York moved from No. 76 to No. 71 on April 30, 2021, sending Denver picks No. 76 and No. 164 to draft UCF cornerback Aaron Robinson. Robinson appeared in 11 games for the Giants across 2021-22, recording 28 tackles and four passes defended before injuries derailed his tenure. The trade-up therefore produced only a brief defensive contribution from a third-round selection.
Trade 2 of 3
Denver traded pick No. 76 to New Orleans for picks 98 and 105, selecting Quinn Meinerz and Baron Browning. Meinerz became a first-team All-Pro guard and signed a long-term extension, while Browning developed into a useful edge defender before Denver later traded him. New Orleans used No. 76 on Paulson Adebo, who started 51 games in four seasons and became a coveted free agent. Both teams hit, but Meinerz makes Denver's two-player return exceptional.
Trade 3 of 3
Arizona acquired edge rusher Baron Browning from Denver for a 2025 sixth-round pick. Browning immediately joined the Cardinals' rotation, recorded two sacks in eight games after the trade and later re-signed, then added 34 tackles, two sacks and an interception in 2025. Denver recovered a late selection, but Arizona received multiple seasons of usable defensive snaps for a modest price.
