Josiah Ezirim

Denver acquired Wil Lutz from New Orleans Saints for 2024 7th round pick (239th overall, Josiah Ezirim). Denver paid draft capital for Wil Lutz, 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 New Orleans Saints.

Denver acquired Kenny Young and 2024 7th round pick (239th overall subsequently traded, Josiah Ezirim) from Los Angeles/St. Louis Rams for 2024 6th round pick (189th overall subsequently traded, Mekhi Wingo). 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.
