Denver Broncos Win
Denver packaged mid- and late-round picks to Green Bay and came away with the fourth-round slot used on Julius Thomas, plus Virgil Green. Thomas later became a major red-zone weapon in the Manning offense, while Green added useful tight end depth. The Broncos got more practical value from the exchange.
