NFL Trade Verdict

Denver Broncos Win

Denver traded Arthur Marshall to the Giants for a seventh-round pick that became center Tom Nalen, one of the best draft-value outcomes in franchise history. Nalen started at center for more than a decade, anchored the line through the Elway championship years, and earned five Pro Bowl selections. Denver essentially turned a depth receiver into a franchise center at the end of the seventh round. In terms of asset-to-outcome ratio, this is one of the cleanest steals in Broncos trade history.
