Jeudy is NOT a #1 WR

[tukafan21]

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.

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

If they can swap Burns for Jeudy they'd be ecstatic, especially since Mims is the better receiver. It's the only reason I have for why SP won't play Mims. They need Jeudy to do something so they can trade him.

That makes sense for them. For us not so much. I would hope we get a 2nd round pick with Jeudy.

I think a lot of the problem is reports were saying a “top tier wr” and “no.1 wr”, Jeudy isn’t that. If they trade burns for him, they better get some picks back in return.

He isn't worth 13 mil in dead money either but he is the kind of poo the people running the team love so it's bound to happen. 

He is worth a 6th if you have to eat that dead money next year IMO. That's like the last pick in the 5th round

Makes perfect sense for them and we're desperate enough to do something monumentally stupid so....

Agreed.

 

I was thinking a 3rd or 4th for Jeudy not Burns lol.

 

If we trading Burns it needs to be for a true #1.

If we're trading Burns it needs to be at the deadline to a team that is in serious SB contention like the Rams thought they were. Trading him now would only yield less and at 0-4 and already realistically out of the playoff hunt given what we've seen so far and based on history, we won't get max value. Personally, I don't want Tepper, his wife, Fitts or Frank making a pick next year.

Him and chark are both #2s

Nico Collins - 2021 446 yards, 1 TD, best game 69 yards / 2022 481 yards, 2 TD, best game 82 yards

Shouldn't our stud franchise savior be able to launch Jeudy the way Stroud has launched Nico?

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.

Nico Collins wasn't the 15th pick of the draft, he was a 3rd rounder who has never been the focal point of their offense until this year.

Jeudy has been the focal point of the Broncos passing attack since they drafted him and still can't live up to his 1st round draft pick.

If Sean Payton doesn't want to keep him while trying to rejuvenate the offense, that alone should tell you everything you need to know about his potential to be a #1 WR in this league.
