Trade Analysis
The Exchange
On 1965-07-13, Denver Broncos and New York Jets completed an exchange in which Denver Broncos received Ed Cummings, while New York Jets received 1966 twelfth round pick (#103-Steve Chomyszak). The transaction was modest, so the evaluation turns on the direct value each club actually realized from its return rather than hypothetical value in another setting.
Denver Broncos Return
Denver Broncos came away with Ed Cummings and receives a C. The grade weighs games played, starting work, and identifiable draft value while keeping the scale of the transaction in view. A useful role can matter in a minor deal, but a short stay or a selection that produces little NFL value limits the upside.
New York Jets Return
New York Jets received 1966 twelfth round pick (#103-Steve Chomyszak), which earns a C+. The same standard applies here: durable production is worth more than a brief appearance, and draft capital is judged by the value that can reasonably be connected to the selection. That keeps both sides on the same footing.
Value in Hindsight
Denver acquired Ed Cummings and the Jets received the 1966 twelfth-round choice that became Steve Chomyszak. The strongest team and draft records place Chomyszak at No. 103. Cummings gave Denver a full season, while Chomyszak's Jets tenure was brief. This is the clearest basis for separating the two returns. Small differences in old transaction dates, player naming, or pick numbering are preserved where relevant, but they do not outweigh the actual football value each club received.
Final Verdict
The final judgment is New York Jets Win. Denver Broncos receives C, while New York Jets receives C+. The grades are scaled to the size of the deal: a modest edge can still produce a winner, while two weak returns can reasonably finish even. The call rests on realized NFL value and the strongest supported description of the exchange.
