Trade 1 of 1
Denver Broncos and Detroit Lions
Denver traded return specialist Glyn Milburn to Detroit for the 55th pick and a seventh-rounder. Milburn gave the Lions two strong seasons as a returner, including 1,627 kickoff-return yards in 1996. Denver then flipped No. 55 to Baltimore for three picks, one of which became Pro Bowl special-teamer Detron Smith. Both clubs gained useful value, but Denver's downstream return helped support two championship rosters.
