NFL Trade Verdict

Even Trade

Denver acquired 1996 4th round pick (122nd overall, Darrius Johnson), 1996 5th round pick (159th overall, Patrick Jeffers) and 1996 7th round pick (235th overall, L.T. Levine) from Carolina Panthers for 1996 4th round pick (111th overall, Emmanuel McDaniel). 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.
