Baltimore Ravens and Denver Broncos

Baltimore Ravens Win Tier: minor Confidence: high

Denver acquired Joe Flacco for a fourth-round pick, but the move did not solve the quarterback problem. Baltimore converted a departing veteran into useful draft value.

Assets Received

Denver Broncos
  • Player Joe Flacco
Baltimore Ravens
  • Pick 2019 4th round pick (113th overall, Justice Hill)

Team Grades

Trade Analysis

Baltimore Ravens and Houston Texans

Even Trade Tier: standard Confidence: high

Joe Flacco at 18 delivered the franchise's second Lombardi (Super Bowl XLVII MVP) and 11 years of stability. Cost was steep – picks became Duane Brown (future Hall of Fame LT) and Steve Slaton (1,200-yard rookie) – but the ring tilts it Baltimore.

Assets Received

Baltimore Ravens
  • Pick 2008 1st round pick (18th overall, Joe Flacco)
Houston Texans
  • Pick 2008 1st round pick (26th overall, Duane Brown), 2008 3rd round pick (89th overall, Steve Slaton) and 2008 6th round pick (173rd overall, Dominique Barber)

Team Grades

Trade Analysis

Houston built a perennial Pro Bowl left tackle in Duane Brown (5× Pro Bowl, 14 seasons) plus a one-year wonder at RB. Excellent return, but no championship.
