Chronological Timeline
Trade 1 of 2
The Rams acquired Von Miller from Denver for second- and third-round picks in the 2022 draft, adding a proven edge rusher for a championship run. Miller became a major part of Los Angeles' Super Bowl LVI defense, while Denver eventually turned the second-rounder into Nik Bonitto, who developed into a Pro Bowl pass rusher of his own.
Trade 2 of 2
Indianapolis sent pick No. 179 and a 2023 third-rounder to Denver to move back into the 2022 third round for safety Nick Cross at No. 96. Cross grew from a young special-teams contributor into a productive starting safety, giving the Colts a durable defensive payoff. Denver later used the future third on Drew Sanders, but his early return did not match Cross's established role in Indianapolis.
