Chronological Timeline
2 Recorded Trades
Trade 1 of 2
Denver Broncos and New England Patriots
New England paid picks No. 31 and No. 126 to climb six spots for Dont'a Hightower, while Denver immediately recycled both acquired choices in its next draft-night move. Hightower became a championship-era defensive leader and one of New England's defining postseason performers. Denver still extracted useful value from the trade chain, but the Patriots landed the singular player whose impact lasted through multiple Super Bowl runs.
Assets Received
Denver Broncos
- Pick 2012 1st round pick (31st overall subsequently traded, Doug Martin)
- Pick 2012 4th round pick (126th overall subsequently traded, Jared Crick)

Trade 2 of 2
Denver Broncos and Tampa Bay Buccaneers
Tampa Bay sent picks No. 36 and No. 101 to Denver for No. 31 and No. 126, using the first-rounder on Doug Martin. The fourth-rounder was then paired with another pick in a move that produced Lavonte David. Denver landed Derek Wolfe and Omar Bolden, with Wolfe becoming a championship starter. Both teams created value, but Martin plus the David trade chain gives Tampa Bay the higher ceiling.
Assets Received
Denver Broncos
- Pick 2012 2nd round pick (36th overall, Derek Wolfe)
