Denver Broncos and Detroit Lions
Denver Broncos Win Tier: standard
Confidence: high
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.
Denver Broncos Win Tier: standard
Confidence: high
Denver sent the 55th pick to Baltimore for Nos. 65, 100 and 213. Baltimore selected cornerback DeRon Jenkins, who played 93 NFL games and became a useful professional. Denver used its three picks on Detron Smith, Jeff Lewis and Leslie Ratliffe. Smith became a Pro Bowl special-teams player and two-time Super Bowl champion with Denver, giving the Broncos the strongest team-specific return from the package.
