I mean, Id be cool with acquiring Jeudy... but I dont understand the opinion of the Huddle around thinking is a great reciever.

He is a locker room risk, injury proned, and inconsistent week to week. He struggles against bigger corners who handle him at the line and is not going to beat his man in the air. 

 

Broncos shopping him has more benefit for the Broncos than the team getting Jeudy. 

I don’t understand it either Jeudy has been widely inconsistent too. I believe on top of the injuries he finished in the top 3 on dropped passes in 20 and 21. He recovered last year but he still has the injury history.

Locker room risk?

Genuinely asking, I haven’t seen anything about that stuff on him before

This is actually possible. It has been circulating in some of the podcasts I’ve been listening to.

 

steelers can actually trade him without eating a poo load of dead cap, Even after last year’s contract extension. The question is…. Do they want to do that to their young qb?

I believe Terrace (if he stays healthy) can put up Michael Pittman Jr numbers in this offense 

We need someone of Dionte’s mold who has the speed and can line up anywhere to compliment Terrace though 

There are a couple guys in the draft that could fill this role but we’d be asking a lot from a lot of young guys then. Which is why Thielen would’ve been a really nice signing

I think he's a bit of a head case, I remember him having an outburst or two on the field last year as well.

I thought it was more about injuries and underperforming based on being a top-15 selection.

That DEN offense hasn't been the most well-comanded offense since he arrived. I think the entire WR unit was pretty frustrated with last year's guidance. 

Jeudy's route running, speed and youth is worth #39 IMO. You're not finding a talent like him in that draft slot.

I just very much remember him taking off his helmet at one point last year while yelling at and then bumping a ref.  I just remember it too because it was shocking that he didn't get tossed from the game for it.

Sure, could have been a one time thing, but I feel like I also remember there being times last year that he was very demonstrative on the field about not getting the ball thrown his way as well.

Yeah, that was an outburst for sure. 

It also fired him up....and then he scored three TDs that day.

Oh I'm not doubting his talent, I'm just saying I think there were multiple incidents last year that made him out to be a hothead and a bit of a diva.

Which I get, it's something that comes with the WR a lot of the time, but that's not really what you want with a rookie QB either, same reason people don't want Odell.

I'd rather go after Sutton or Hopkins who don't seem to have those same question marks about them, if we had an established QB already I wouldn't be as concerned about Jeudy.  But if the Broncos are willing to trade away a recent first round pick already while still on his rookie deal, that also in itself probably isn't a great sign, it means they want him out of that locker room most likely.

With Hopkins, I just can’t imagine he would actually want to play here.

 

It has to work for both sides at the end of the day and I just don’t see him wanting to play with a rookie at this stage in his career…regardless of coach, our defense, Clemson connection, his cousin, etc.

Wow. That would really free up the #39 pick considering we already signed a TE too.

Not really, neither Chark or Thielen are #1 WRs, I still think Chark is still pretty similar to TMJ and would just be a redundancy and take away time from TMJ who still has potential.
