Denver Broncos and Carolina Panthers

Denver Broncos Win Tier: standard Confidence: high

Denver traded quarterback Jeff Lewis to Carolina for the 67th pick in the 1999 draft and selected defensive back Chris Watson. Watson played 58 NFL games, including 14 as a rookie in Denver, while Lewis never developed into Carolina’s long-term quarterback answer. The Broncos did not land a star, but converting a blocked young quarterback into a third-round pick produced the better return.
