Terry Godwin

Denver acquired 2019 6th round pick (187th overall, Juwann Winfree) from Carolina Panthers for 2019 6th round pick (212th overall, Dennis Daley) and 2019 7th round pick (237th overall, Terry Godwin). 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.

Denver traded veteran wide receiver Demaryius Thomas and a seventh-round pick to Houston for fourth- and seventh-round selections, ending a defining Broncos tenure. The move was emotionally significant even if the return was modest. Thomas was past his Denver peak, and the Broncos were transitioning away from the Super Bowl 50 core, so recovering mid-round value made practical sense. Houston received a respected veteran target, while Denver acknowledged that one of the franchise's great receiver eras had effectively closed.
