Dan Neil

Denver acquired 1997 3rd round pick (67th overall, Dan Neil) from New York Jets in exchange for 1997 3rd round pick (88th overall, Dedric Ward), 1997 6th round pick (191st overall, Chuck Clements), 1997 7th round pick (229th overall, Jason Ferguson) and 1998 6th round pick (183rd overall, Dustin Johnson). This was primarily a draft-position exchange, with Denver reshaping its pick stack rather than adding an established player. The grades stay conservative because the historical value depends on how the selected players developed after the swap.
