Broncos roundtable: What do you make of this theoretical Jerry Jeudy trade to Green Bay?

Ryan McFadden, Broncos beat reporter: Replacing Jeudy with Doubs won’t change a thing. But man, it would be nice for the Broncos to get that second-round pick, so I would most definitely pull the trigger. It feels like Jeudy’s time in Denver is nearing an end and keeping him will not change the course of the season, so the Broncos are better off getting the pick and hoping they can unlock Doubs in some way. But maybe instead of getting Doubs in the deal, Denver should ask for the second and a fourth or fifth. The Broncos have shown that spending a ton of money is not going to fix the situation. So I think it’s time for them to build through the draft and acquire as many picks as possible. At the same time, you want to see what Denver has with rookie Marvin Mims Jr. He has flashed this season but he is still not playing a ton of snaps and hardly is targeted when he is on the field. Sure, adding Doubs will be OK. But if Denver plans to move on from Sutton or Jeudy (I don’t think they are trading both, by the way), the Broncos should try to find a deal that can possibly get them more than one pick. I’m not saying no to that trade idea but if there was an alternative, I would try to trade for a second and a later round draft choice. If it’s not Green Bay, there has to be a team out there that doesn’t think Jeudy is a lost cause and can get more production out of him with better coaching.

Sean Keeler, sports columnist: Why say “yes,” when you can say, “Heck, yes?” Which is why it’ll never happen, of course. Doubs would be a fun project, a big target who ticks the right boxes. But the problem with Green Bay and Gutekunst is the problem with just about every NFL front office right now: They know you’re trying to unload Jeudy. They know he’s a goofy malcontent, because they just saw him dancing around Arrowhead Stadium like a goofy malcontent on “TNF.” They smell a lemon. They’re looking at Jeudy as if he’s a $200,000 house in Boulder County: What’s the catch? (Ironically, on that front, not enough of them. Not enough big ones, at any rate.) I mean, I’d love Doubs as part of a package, but the most important return, for Jeudy or anybody else on the block, is draft picks. A rebuild needs cost-controlled talent, with or without Russell Wilson’s contract weighing on your salary cap. The Eagles have two second-rounders in ’24. The Lions have two third-rounders in ’24. So do the Seahawks. The Texans have two fourth-rounders. Let’s talk.
