Buffalo Bills and Denver Broncos
Buffalo Bills received Tom Beard in the exchange with Denver Broncos. Tom Beard gave Buffalo only a short 1972 stint, so the player return was real but limited and did not develop into a long-term advantage. Against Denver Broncos's return of 1973 13th round pick (#319-Ed Smith (Alexander)), that result supports a C grade. The transaction is judged as Denver Broncos Win, with the mark based on the football value that actually followed from the deal.
