Trade Details
DUKE DAWSON DEALT TO DENVER Friday, August 30, 2019
The Denver Broncos acquired cornerback/safety Duke Dawson and a seventh-round draft pick in 2020 from the New England Patriots for a sixth-round draft pick in 2020.
What does it give the Denver Broncos?
Dawson is a slot corner who has a little versatility in his game. A second-rounder in 2018, Dawson has a chance to see regular snaps as the nickel corner in Denver (provided he stays healthy) this season.
What does it give the New England Patriots?
The Patriots decided to give up on Dawson a little early, but injuries played a major factor here. Also, the team probably felt that they could not keep Dawson on the initial 53-man roster to start 2019, so they took the draft pick upgrade.
Fantasy Impact
There is no fantasy impact to speak of here, as Dawson may or may not emerge as the nickel corner in Denver. Even if he does, his fantasy value remains limited.
