Denver acquired Le Kevin Smith and 2010 7th round pick (231st overall subsequently traded, Selvish Capers) from New England Patriots for 2010 5th round pick (158th overall subsequently traded, Matt Tennant). 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.
