With the NFL trade deadline having come and gone, let's grade some trades, including the Denver Broncos trading edge rusher Bradley Chubb to the Miami Dolphins on Tuesday for picks and running back Chase Edmonds.
I'm a big believer in judging decisions based on information available at the time. Saying, "Let's see how it plays out" isn't an option for general managers making deals for their teams, so why should it be for us evaluating those transactions? When I'm grading trades, I evaluate them for each team based on on-field impact, cap implications, draft compensation and effects within the context of a team's overall short- and long-term outlook.
