NFL Trade Verdict

Detroit Lions Win

Denver acquired 1996 2nd round pick (55th overall subsequently traded, DeRon Jenkins) and 1996 7th round pick (236th overall, Brian Gragert) from Detroit Lions in exchange for Glyn Milburn. Denver converted Glyn Milburn into draft capital, a practical roster-management decision rather than a franchise-shaping swing. The Broncos grade stays at C because the return was useful but limited, while Detroit Lions lands at C based on the player value it acquired.
