Curley Culp

Denver sent Curley Culp to Kansas City for a 1969 fourth-round pick, moving on from a future Hall of Fame defensive tackle before he became a Chiefs cornerstone. The Broncos received modest draft value, but the historical weight sits with Kansas City. Culp developed into a dominant interior defender and eventual Pro Football Hall of Famer after leaving Denver. Even if Denver had not unlocked his value, trading away that caliber of player for a mid-round pick now reads as a missed opportunity inside the division.
