NFL Trade Verdict

Denver Broncos Win

Denver acquired 1982 first round pick (#21-Gerald Willhite); 1982 fourth round pick (#106-Dan Plater) from Buffalo Bills in exchange for 1982 first round pick (#19-Perry Tuttle). 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.
