Denver Broncos and Detroit Lions
Denver Broncos Win Tier: standard
Confidence: high
Denver traded return specialist Glyn Milburn to Detroit for the 55th pick and a seventh-rounder. Milburn gave the Lions two strong seasons as a returner, including 1,627 kickoff-return yards in 1996. Denver then flipped No. 55 to Baltimore for three picks, one of which became Pro Bowl special-teamer Detron Smith. Both clubs gained useful value, but Denver's downstream return helped support two championship rosters.
Green Bay Packers Win Tier: major
Confidence: high
Chicago acquired return specialist Glyn Milburn from Green Bay in August 1998 for a 1999 seventh-round pick. That future selection became No. 213, where the Packers drafted Donald Driver. Milburn gave the Bears short-term special-teams help, but Driver became Green Bay's longtime receiving leader and a Super Bowl champion, turning a routine late-round exchange into one of the Packers' best value trades.
Detroit Lions acquired 1999 7th round pick (232nd overall subsequently traded, Jermaine Haley) from Green Bay Packers for Glyn Milburn. The available record does not show enough separation to call a clear long-term winner.
