NFL Trade Verdict

Denver Broncos Win

Denver acquired 2012 3rd round pick (67th overall, Ronnie Hillman) from Cleveland Browns in exchange for 2012 3rd round pick (87th overall, John Hughes) and 2012 4th round pick (120th overall, James-Michael Johnson). 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.
