lol..I dont think that trade worked out too well for Denver.

On April 2, 2009, the Broncos and the Chicago Bears pulled off a massive trade, swapping starting quarterbacks as well as a boatload of draft picks. A few pieces of that trade are easy to follow.
But a slew of draft-day trades over two seasons have made it hard to trace exactly what the Broncos got in return:

DENVER RECEIVED
Quarterback Kyle Orton: Orton started 32 games for the Broncos over 2 1/2 seasons. The Broncos were 12-20 in games when Orton was the starting quarterback. He threw for 8,434 yards, with 49 touchdowns and 28 interceptions.
Chicago’s 2009 first-round pick: With the No. 18 pick, the Broncos drafted outside linebacker/defensive end Robert Ayers from the University of Tennessee. Ayers has played in 36 games, with 19 starts, and has 3.5 career sacks, including two this season.
Chicago’s 2009 third-round pick: The Broncos traded the pick, No. 84, along with their third-rounder, for a second-round pick they used on tight end Richard Quinn (No. 64) and a fourth-rounder used on guard Seth Olsen (No. 132). Olsen was released after the 2010 preseason, and Quinn was released with an injury settlement early this season.
Chicago’s first-round pick in 2010: Former head coach Josh McDaniels orchestrated so many trades during the 2010 draft it is nearly impossible to trace exactly what the Broncos received from Chicago. The pick was traded and repackaged and traded again so that parts of it can be directly traced — but not directly responsible for — the selections of the wide receiver Demaryius Thomas (No. 22), quarterback Tim Tebow (No. 25) and wide receiver Eric Decker (No. 97). Tebow and Decker are current starters for the Broncos, and Thomas — now that he has returned from a torn Achilles tendon — is a rotational wide receiver.
CHICAGO RECEIVED
Quarterback Jay Cutler: Cutler has started 31 regular-season games for the Bears and thrown for 9,259 yards with 63 touchdowns and 49 interceptions. He helped the Bears to the NFC championship game last season.
Denver’s 2009 fifth-round pick: With the No. 140 selection, the Bears drafted wide receiver Johnny Knox from Abilene Christian. Knox has 120 career catches for 1,964 yards and 11 touchdowns in 2 1/2 seasons.
