Jeudy is NOT a #1 WR

I don’t think the Broncos want players just picks so I’m not sure about the Burns thing. I’m thinking it’s two different things. 1 is a possible trade for Jeudy (conditional 4th maybe) and another team that is a contender trades for Burns (a 1st plus some). We would net better draft picks plus a decent WR for our offense and lose Burns.

That makes more sense. Trading Burns for anything less than a 1st would be a disappointment.

Seriously people, we need to stop with this nonsense that he's a #1 and is worth going after.  He's still living off his reputation as being from Alabama, a 1st round pick, and having the skills you want in a #1.

But he's in his 4th season and hasn't come close to living up to any of it.

In his first 3 years he had totals of 856, 467, and 972 yards with 9 total TDs (3 of them came in one game).

He has 5 career 100 yard games, with 2 of them coming in the final game of the season in both 2020 and 2022, so decent chance those were against scrub backups who were still playing at that point.

He has 7 career games over 77 yards receiving.... let me repeat that... in 44 career games, he's only been able to top 77 yards SEVEN times, and one of them was the 70-20 blowout to Miami 2 weeks ago and he was still only able to get 81 yards in a pass heavy game script.

And all of that is before you even get to his well known reputation for being a hothead and a diva.  You can't be a Stefon Diggs if you don't put that production out there on the field.

Also to everyone saying "well we don't hit on our draft picks so why not give up a 3rd for him", you either don't realize or ignore the fact that he has $13 million guaranteed next year.  There is not reason to give away what little draft capital we have left while also eating into our cap room that we finally will have for the first time in forever.

He would be an attempted fix at WR in the same way that Two Gloves, Darnold, and Baker were at QB... someone who costs draft assets and too much money for players who have never performed to their draft status and we think we can fix, we have to learn from our past mistakes and stop making them over and over again.

#1 is relative. He’s our 1B immediately on this team with Adam the 1A. Paying that role $13M with all our free cap isn’t the worst thing. You have an easy out if it doesn’t work in 2025

The deadline is only about 3.5 weeks away, any team that thinks they are serious contenders this year would make the same trade right now as they would in a few weeks.

I think trading him now is the way to go, while teams might still be tricking themselves into thinking they're legit contenders, like the Rams last year.

That way there is a chance the team we trade him to ends up falling apart and that first round pick is in the first half of the round instead of the back end of it.  The longer we wait, the more likely the best offers come from teams who actually will make deep playoff runs.

Maybe a team like the Titans could be fooled into thinking they need to upgrade their pass rush to contend, maybe we could do something like Burns and TMJ for 2024 1st, Tryelon Burks, and a 2nd or 3rd on top.  

I know it doesn't happen with interdivisional trades, but I could see something like London and Pitts for Burns

If we were to make a trade within the division, I'd much rather go after Godwin, think his game is a better fit for Bryce

Again, why can't people learn from things like Two Gloves, Darnold, and Baker?

Trading for players who already haven't worked out and expecting that we're going to be the team to fix them, isn't a winning strategy.

If you do that and it doesn't work out, you then wasted the first 2 years of Bryce's development and all but guarantee his status as a bust of a pick.

I'd rather overpay for Higgins than get Jeudy at a value, he's just not good.

My man nobody ever said he was a #1.

 

On this team he's probably our #1 though. Just shows you how bad we need help at WR now.

 

I'm more puzzled about the rumor of Burns for Jeudy. Like in what world would we entertain that.smh

The Burns angle has already been explained, and it's not hard to understand.

Jeudy isn't a WR1, but still has that upside in theory. We could certainly do worse. His main issue is injury history. 

https://www.pff.com/news/nfl-final-2022-wide-receiver-rankings

 

He's still in Mark Harmon's top 15 under 25, even if he has underperformed. 

"Jeudy has absolutely not lived up to his billing coming into the league, is quite inconsistent and is living off his past reputation as a route runner. However, I think he’s a solid No. 2 type of receiver and is a flashy big-play threat at the position. He’s also been moved around by numerous coaching staffs far too often in his career. I don’t need to see him as a slot receiver anymore. Leave him at flanker and let him get free releases against off-man coverage. That’s when he’s at his best."

 

1000 yard receivers even in a 16 game season only had to get about 63 yards per game.

      Bryce Young 5th year option exercised

      By tukafan21 · Posted

      Except it takes those QB's a few years to develop because they needed to learn the mental side of the game and have it catch up to their physical attributes. Bryce was supposed to be a QB savant who already had a fully developed mental side of the game and that was going to make up for his lack of physical ability.  And his lack of NFL level QB physical traits has been clear as day to anyone who has watched him the last 3 years, mainly, he just doesn't have an NFL arm, he can't zip the ball into tight spaces or throw on a line down the field like is needed at this level.

      Don’t recall seeing many of his interviews but what strikes me is that he engages and goes in depth. Even with the cliche answers as referenced by OP come across somewhat thoughtful.  Very likable personality despite being someone who can crush an average person like I can crush a paper cup. I knew Motons mother had a career at MSU but was looking on the google and found that Mushin Muhammad personally knew Motons grandfather.   His late grandfather was a professor at MSU.   Cool guy.  Interesting family and small world.

      I think people aren’t patient enough with Young. It can take a few years for a QB to develop. Look at Darnold, Baker and most recently Daniel Jones.   he hasn’t been able to put up big passing numbers either cause of how much we run the ball. You can tell our coaching staff still hasn’t took the training wheels off Bryce and let him go all out. We’ve had some pretty bad receivers as well. We finally got a true number one last year and look how much Bryce improved. Still we didn’t really have any depth behind TMac. Coker was hurt for a lot of the year and XL was our #2. How many big plays or TDs has XL dropped? I think this year can be the year we see Bryce able to hit his stride. If not then we can start looking for another qb but I just ask people to be patient.
