The Atlanta Falcons acquired former 1st rounder Ashley Lelie (2002, 19th pick) from the Denver Broncos, while dealing T.J. Duckett (picked right before Lelie at the 18th spot) to the Washington Redskins. The Redskins sent the Broncos their third-round pick in the 2007 Draft to complete the three-way trade.
This deal was forged due to key receiver and running back injuries to the Falcons and Redskins. Additionally, Lelie had been demanding a trade from Denver. Lelie will fill the Falcons' 3rd wide receiver void left by Brian Finneran's season-ending injury, while Duckett will provide some insurance for the Redskins should Clinton Portis' shoulder not be ready to start the regular season.
