Dont'a Hightower

Denver acquired 2012 1st round pick (31st overall subsequently traded, Doug Martin) and 2012 4th round pick (126th overall subsequently traded, Jared Crick) from New England Patriots in exchange for 2012 1st round pick (25th overall, Dont'a Hightower). 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.
