NFL Trade Verdict

Denver Broncos Win

Denver acquired 1985 second round pick (#31-Vance Johnson) from Houston Oilers/Tennessee Titans in exchange for 1985 second round pick (#36-Richard Byrd / Ricky Byrd); 1985 fifth round pick (#138-Lee Johnson (Eric)). 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.
