well, as far as who's ahead in the broncos trade, i think both teams are. if you saw the colts game, they need good DBs desperately, and they got one... they've always been a good training ground for 1000 yd RBs, so that wasn't seen as a huge loss. Meanwhile, champ was probably gone no matter what, it kind of hit the point of no return, and RB was one of our major holes (and a good RB is a cornerstone for gibbs), so we got what we wanted too.
People argue that good CBs are harder to find and last longer, and they're right, but which player will help gibbs win more games? I can't really find an arguement against portis there... the step down from champ to springs isn't nearly as big and between portis and betts/canidate/whoever else was running last year. Both teams made out, and while i'd think champ was good enough to go straight up, if I had to throw the pick, i would... I don't see another way to get a top RB outside drafting and praying (not a very surefire way to get a team cornerstone).
Of course, if davis were still around, I believe his contract would cost less and he'd produce enough yards to make everyone happy. That's probably one of worst recent personal decisions here, but I digress...
