Jeff Severson

Denver acquired 1976 ninth round pick (#260-Jim Lisko) from Arizona/St. Louis Cardinals for Jeff Severson. Denver converted Jeff Severson 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 Arizona/St. Louis Cardinals lands at C based on the player value it acquired.

Denver acquired Jeff Severson from Houston Oilers/Tennessee Titans for 1976 seventh round pick (#197-Larry Harris). Denver paid draft capital for Jeff Severson, 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 Houston Oilers/Tennessee Titans.
