Would you trade a 4th/5th for Brandon Lloyd?

With the NFL trade deadline looming, the Broncos have been in talks with other teams regarding Pro Bowl receiver Brandon Lloyd, according to three NFL sources.

The Broncos are believed to be seeking anywhere from a third to fifth round draft pick in return. There have been "three or four" teams who have expressed interest in Lloyd, according to a source.

A quick google search doesn't turn up his agent, but he's not represented by Rosenhaus.

It might only be a one year deal, since he's an impending free agent, though who knows with the way Hurney has been making it rain.

He'd immediately upgrade the number two receiver role, though it might be Rims on a Pinto the way the defense has been playing.

dude makes some of the most ridiculous catches I have ever seen. a lot of Cam's overthrows would be sure completions to Lloyd.

and if we did trade for him, would we get a compensation pick(prob a 4th depending on how well he does) if he walks?

Why would we trade anything for him if its going to be a one and done. We not going to win the Superbowl this year(sorry), so its not like he's going to push us over the top. I would trade anything unless it comes with an extension

^^^ this

And if we're going to sign him to a sizeable extension then you might as well wait till the offseason and spend that same amount of $$$ on a free agent WR and save your draft picks.

    • He’s kind of overrated to be honest. Never really felt like a true #1 or elevated his play to become a guy the defense really has to worry about. 
    • I'm going to be real, the reason that vote ended up so lop-sided by the end was directly due to my programming. So there's nothing tongue in cheek about it. Also I left PFF after the Collinsworth acquisition (didn't want to move to Cincy) but have stayed involved in analytics via backdoor channels, but I can absolutely say that the experience was eye-opening, not because those guys are unquestionable football savants and that I became one by proxy, but because the amount of information that becomes available outside of what the typical fan has access to is revelatory and also really drives home how much context is still being missed even with all of that information. You don't discover that you know everything, you discover how much you still can't know no matter how hard you try, hence my point about the NFL not being able to figure out what makes a QB good. There's a lot of AI work going into that now and even that only seems to further confuse things vs. actually enlighten the problem. In the professional realm teams don't really talk about quarterbacks as A strictly being better than B, but how A can potentially perform better than B given a specific context of C. Of course those contexts may be wider for A than B, but there's also contexts where B can outshine A, even with lesser talent surrounding them. So what good teams strive to do is ultimately define a process of how they want their entire team to operate under schematically, find players that fit that scheme, and hopefully find a guy whose skillset will be maximized running that scheme with those players. Where bad teams fall of the wagon is constantly shifting those schemes and chasing bad fits or fads vs. sticking with a core identity and developing it.
