George Byrd / Butch Byrd

Denver acquired George Byrd / Butch Byrd from Buffalo Bills for 1972 fifth round pick (possibly #108-Bob Penchion) (possibly #109-Billy Taylor). Denver paid draft capital for George Byrd / Butch Byrd, making this a targeted personnel acquisition instead of a pure pick shuffle. The Broncos grade of C reflects the balance between immediate roster help and the opportunity cost of the pick sent to Buffalo Bills.

Denver acquired Harold Olson from Buffalo Bills for "high draft player" (possibly 1964 #25-George Byrd / Butch Byrd); "high draft player" (possibly 1964 #81-Bobby Smith). Denver swapped "high draft player" (possibly 1964 #25-George Byrd / Butch Byrd) for Harold Olson, a direct player-value trade with limited evidence of a major long-term swing. The grades remain modest because the available record supports a useful roster exchange, not a clear franchise-changing win.
