NFL Trade Verdict

Carolina Panthers Win

Denver acquired 2003 4th round pick (108th overall, Quentin Griffin), 2003 4th round pick (120th overall subsequently traded, Asante Samuel) and 2003 7th round pick (227th overall, Clint Mitchell) from Carolina Panthers in exchange for 2003 3rd round pick (82nd overall, Ricky Manning). 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.
