Washington Commanders and Denver Broncos
Denver Broncos Win Tier: standard
Confidence: high
Washington paid a 2005 third-rounder plus its 2006 first- and fourth-round selections to obtain Denver's No. 25 pick and draft quarterback Jason Campbell. Campbell became a multi-year starter, so the move was not empty. Denver nevertheless received a premium package, including the pick used on Brandon Marshall and a future first-rounder, making the Broncos the clear value winner despite Washington getting meaningful quarterback play.
Miami paid two second-round picks for Brandon Marshall and immediately received a true No. 1 receiver. Marshall topped 1,000 yards in both Dolphins seasons, made the Pro Bowl in 2011, and gave an uneven passing offense a focal point. Denver converted the compensation into draft flexibility and guard/tackle Orlando Franklin, a multi-year starter. Both clubs extracted meaningful value, making the deal much closer to even than the old grade spread suggested.
Chicago acquired Brandon Marshall from Miami for third-round picks in 2012 and 2013, reuniting the receiver with Jay Cutler. Marshall immediately became the Bears' primary passing-game weapon and produced three productive seasons, including a 1,508-yard debut campaign in Chicago. Miami converted the picks into additional draft capital but never received a player of comparable impact. The modest acquisition cost and Marshall's elite production give Chicago a decisive win.
The Jets acquired Brandon Marshall and a seventh-round pick from Chicago for a fifth-round selection. Marshall immediately delivered 109 catches, 1,502 yards and 14 touchdowns in 2015, earning Pro Bowl and second-team All-Pro honors. Chicago used the fifth-rounder on Adrian Amos, who became a four-year starting safety. Both teams received excellent value from modest assets, with the Bears gaining the longer-lasting return and the Jets getting the higher immediate peak.
