Denver Broncos - Russell Wilson Trade and Contract Extension Review

We know the Denver Broncos trade for Russell Wilson has turned out horribly, but what is it a horrible trade at the time it was made? Also, what about stacking on the massive $245 million, 5-year contract extension before the 2022 season even started? TheFantasyFootballers.com was especially helpful in providing information and analysis on best year ranges and years of decline for quarterbacks. I used the following article to help in this discussion: https://www.thefantasyfootballers.com/articles/the-lifecycle-of-a-dynasty-quarterback-dynasty-football/ Russell Wilson trade report (Adam Schefter): https://www.espn.com/nfl/story/_/id/33454258/sources-seattle-seahawks-trade-qb-russell-wilson-denver-broncos "The Broncos have agreed to trade quarterback Drew Lock, tight end Noah Fant, defensive lineman Shelby Harris, two first-round picks (2022 -- No. 9 overall -- and 2023), two second-round picks (2022 -- No. 40 overall -- and 2023) and a 2022 fifth-round selection to the Seahawks for Wilson and a 2022 fourth-round pick, sources said."
