Trade 1 of 2
Denver Broncos and Pittsburgh Steelers
Pittsburgh traded up from No. 20 to No. 10 for linebacker Devin Bush, sending Denver pick No. 52 and a 2020 third-rounder as part of the price. Denver selected Noah Fant at No. 20 and later turned the additional capital into more roster value, including center Lloyd Cushenberry. Bush flashed early but never regained his trajectory after a 2020 knee injury, giving Denver the stronger package.

Cincinnati Bengals and Denver Broncos
Denver traded picks No. 52, No. 125 and No. 182 to Cincinnati to move up to No. 42 for quarterback Drew Lock. Lock started 21 games for the Broncos but never secured the franchise job and later became part of the Russell Wilson trade. Cincinnati turned the return into Drew Sample, Renell Wren and Trayveon Williams, getting longer aggregate service despite no star outcome.
