Denver Broncos Win Tier: standard
Confidence: high
In a three-team deal, Washington received running back T.J. Duckett from Atlanta, Denver received Washington's 2007 third-round and 2008 fourth-round choices, and Atlanta received wide receiver Ashley Lelie from Denver. Although Atlanta completed the player bridge, the Washington-Denver value exchange is stark: two useful draft assets went to Denver while Washington received only a small amount of one-season production.
