DeWayne McBride

Minnesota traded down and collected three selections, landing Mekhi Blackmon, Jaren Hall, and DeWayne McBride. Blackmon showed useful cornerback traits, but Hall and McBride supplied limited early value. The added volume helped, though the trade lacks a major Vikings payoff so far.

Denver acquired Jonas Griffith and 2022 7th round pick (250th overall subsequently traded, Brittain Brown) from San Francisco 49ers for 2022 6th round pick (187th overall, Nick Zakelj) and 2023 7th round pick (222nd overall subsequently traded, DeWayne McBride). 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.
