Thakarius Keyes NFL Trade History

Denver Broncos received Duke Dawson; 2020 7th round pick (237th overall subsequently traded, Thakarius Keyes) in the exchange with New England Patriots. Duke Dawson appeared in 26 Denver games with four starts, and the Broncos also received a seventh-round selection that retained some downstream value. Against New England Patriots' return of 2020 6th round pick (195th overall, Justin Herron), that outcome supports a C+ grade. The transaction is judged as New England Patriots Win, with the mark based on the football value that actually followed from the deal.

Denver acquired five-time Pro Bowler Jurrell Casey from Tennessee for a seventh-round pick, but the veteran played only three games for the Broncos before a season-ending biceps injury and was released the following February. Tennessee received very little draft value, yet it also moved an expensive veteran contract. With neither side realizing major on-field gains, the deal finishes much closer to even than Denver's acquisition-day bargain suggested.

Miami gave Seattle the 251st pick in 2020 for Seattle's 2021 sixth-rounder, later identified as No. 208. Seattle selected Stephen Sullivan at 251, while the future pick moved through additional transactions before another team used it. Because neither side created notable direct value from the original assets, later movement should not distort the comparison. The trade grades as a modest, essentially even swap of late draft capital.

Tennessee turned Kansas City's 2020 seventh-round choice into the 2021 sixth-round pick used on safety Brady Breeze, who appeared in five games for the Titans before being waived. Kansas City used No. 237 on BoPete Keyes, who played eight games with one start and seven tackles as a rookie. Both returns were small, but Keyes gave the Chiefs the slightly stronger direct contribution.
