Denver Broncos acquire Vernon Davis

                The Denver Broncos sent a late round pick in the 2016 and 2017 draft to the San Francisco 49ers for tight end Vernon Davis and late round pick in the 2016 draft.

                The Broncos really got a steal in this trade. While Davis’ production has been on backsliding in the last two years, most of that can be traced to the regression of the 49ers organization as a whole. He’s been needed as more of a blocker to keep Colin Kaepernick upright while he worked through progressions at a slower and slower pace. Even when he was out running routes, he was on the receiving end of mostly bad throws that didn’t put him in a position to make plays.
