NFL Trade Verdict

Even Trade

Buffalo acquired 1976 sixth round pick (#175-Darnell Powell) from Indianapolis Colts for Jim Cheyunski. Buffalo converted a player or rights asset into draft capital, which is usually sound portfolio management unless the player became a major contributor elsewhere. Without a clear star outcome attached, the Bills receive a modest value edge for gaining flexible future capital
