Jimmy Williams

Denver acquired Javon Walker from Green Bay Packers in exchange for 2006 2nd round pick (37th overall subsequently traded, Jimmy Williams). Denver paid draft capital for Javon Walker, 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 Green Bay Packers.

Denver acquired 2006 2nd round pick (37th overall subsequently traded, Jimmy Williams) and 2006 3rd round pick (68th overall subsequently traded, Claude Wroten) from San Francisco 49ers in exchange for 2006 1st round pick (22nd overall, Manny Lawson). This was primarily a draft-position exchange, with Denver reshaping its pick stack rather than adding an established player. The grades stay conservative because the historical value depends on how the selected players developed after the swap.

Minnesota acquired the pick used on Brad Johnson, who developed into a useful starting quarterback and later returned for another stint.
