NFL Trade Verdict

New York Giants Win

Denver acquired Mark Haynes from New York Giants in exchange for 1986 second round pick (#51-Thomas Johnson / Pepper Johnson); 1986 sixth round pick (#139-Ron Brown (William)); 1987 second round pick (#55-Adrian White). Denver surrendered two second-round picks and a sixth-rounder for a cornerback entering his age-27 season who had been benched in New York. Haynes contributed but never played at All-Pro level for the Broncos, and the picks became Pepper Johnson (a long-time Giants linebacker) and Adrian White. The Giants extracted maximum value from a player they'd soured on.
