Gerard Warren

Denver acquired an undisclosed 2007 draft pick from Oakland/Las Vegas Raiders for Gerard Warren. Denver converted Gerard Warren into draft capital, a practical roster-management decision rather than a franchise-shaping swing. The Broncos grade stays at C because the return was useful but limited, while Oakland/Las Vegas Raiders lands at C based on the player value it acquired.

Denver acquired Gerard Warren from Cleveland Browns for 2005 4th round pick (126th overall subsequently traded, Todd Herremans). Denver paid draft capital for Gerard Warren, 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 Cleveland Browns.
