Baltimore Ravens and Denver Broncos
Denver Broncos Win Tier: standard
Confidence: high
Denver sent the 55th pick to Baltimore for Nos. 65, 100 and 213. Baltimore selected cornerback DeRon Jenkins, who played 93 NFL games and became a useful professional. Denver used its three picks on Detron Smith, Jeff Lewis and Leslie Ratliffe. Smith became a Pro Bowl special-teams player and two-time Super Bowl champion with Denver, giving the Broncos the strongest team-specific return from the package.
Denver Broncos Win Tier: standard
Confidence: high
Denver traded quarterback Jeff Lewis to Carolina for the 67th pick in the 1999 draft and selected defensive back Chris Watson. Watson played 58 NFL games, including 14 as a rookie in Denver, while Lewis never developed into Carolina’s long-term quarterback answer. The Broncos did not land a star, but converting a blocked young quarterback into a third-round pick produced the better return.
