These are the opponents the Broncos will face in 2018:

Denver is swapping fourth- and fifth-round picks, and giving another 5th-round pick with Washington in exchange for safety Su’a Cravens, per source. Cravens is a Bronco.

Mike Klis has the specific draft picks exchanged:

Broncos acquire SS Su'a Cravens from WAS in exchange for 5th-rd pick (No. 163). Broncos also swap 4th-rd picks, going from 109 to WAS's 113; and 5th-rd picks, from 142 to 149. Also a conditional pick. WAS would get 6th-rd pick in 2020 if Cravens plays in playoff game. #9sports

Despite being drafted two seasons ago, Cravens still has three years left on his rookie contract. This is because his contract was tolled due to being placed on the Redskins’ Reserve/Left Squad list for the entirety of the 2017 season. His salaries will be about $650,000 in 2018, $850,000 in 2019, and just a shade over $1 million in 2020.
