Denver Broncos and Washington Commanders
Denver Broncos Win Tier: major
Confidence: high
Denver traded Clinton Portis to Washington and received Champ Bailey plus the 41st pick in the 2004 draft, which became Tatum Bell. Portis produced several excellent seasons in Washington, including three 1,200-yard campaigns, so the deal was not a failure for Washington. Bailey became a Hall of Fame cornerback and perennial Pro Bowler in Denver, however, while the Broncos also received meaningful draft capital.
Denver Broncos received Dre' Bly and 2007 6th round pick (176th overall subsequently traded, Rufus Alexander). Detroit Lions received Tatum Bell, George Foster and 2007 5th round pick (158th overall, Johnny Baldwin). The final review favors Denver Broncos because that return produced stronger practical football value.
