Denver Broncos and New York Jets

New York Jets Win Tier: standard Confidence: high

Denver acquired quarterback Matt Robinson from the Jets in February 1980 for quarterback Craig Penrose plus first- and second-round selections in the 1980 draft. The Jets received No. 20 and No. 47 in addition to Penrose, while Robinson's Denver tenure did not justify the premium price. Broncos historical material itself has treated the deal as one of the franchise's poorest trades. The combination of two high picks and a player gives New York an overwhelming advantage.
