Nobody we could draft with our 1st rounder is going to make as big a difference as Jeudy would. We would now have two legit outside WRs, one with great route running one with great speed; an explosive slot in Deonte Harty; and Davis and Shakir as outside/slot depth options with complementary skill sets. Draft some OL and watch this offense explode. I can't find any downside. Depends though. While Jeudy is likely better this year than a WR picked at 27, you also have to pay him next year (assuming he plays well). Meanwhile pick 27 is cost controlled for at least 4 years. So a Jeudy trade is yet another win now move. I’m not opposed to it, but it’s not a no brainer. Now if they’d take our 2nd and maybe a 4th, I’d definitely pull the trigger. Would also allow us to use 27 on OL where there may be some value. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jeudy is going to be 24 next month. Most people think pick #27 this year is going to get you a player with a 2nd round grade. Jeudy was universally a 1st round grade drafted 15th overall. You sacrifice 3 years of his rookie deal but the value is still equivalent IMO. The cap is going to skyrocket over the next couple years as new streaming, network, and gambling deals enter the calculation. I'm not worried about paying his 5th year option in 2024 or extending him beyond that year. We can lock up a WR with #1 upside to play across from Diggs until the time is right to move on from Diggs. That's a move that's both win now and win later. 1 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Logic Posted March 15, 2023 Share Posted March 15, 2023 Add me to the pile that would happily trade our 1st for Jerry Jeudy. He'll be just 24 at the start of next season. The Bills would have him for at least two seasons (if fifth year exercise is optioned). Could add another via franchise tag. His coming into his prime would line up perfectly with the end of Diggs' time here. Outstanding player who has been hampered by injuries, bad QB play, and playcalling dysfunction. His insertion into the WR corps would be EXACTLY what's needed to take the unit from pretty good to great. Diggs/Jeudy/Davis/Harty/Shakir. Yes please! 1 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If we make the deal I’ll get on board, because I trust this front office, have always liked Jeudy, and would love to see another legit weapon (particularly a route runner) for Josh. I’d just prefer not to spend a 1st. But again, Beane knows the market better, and what is or isn’t actually available, so I’ll be happy to be wrong. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BBFL Posted March 15, 2023 Share Posted March 15, 2023 (edited) Not a huge fan of Jeudy, not a hater either. He’s talented and could help the team. The draft picks also could. Big supporter of fixing this offensive line for Josh and giving both him and the run game an elevated chance of success - Starters and depth (which is obviously the McGovern signing) to see where we are. RT is a question as are both guard spots. You then have Morse due for another concussion. Just a lot of pieces that are up in the air and could have cost controlled fixes. If we still need that piece to take us where we believe Jeudy would, then there’s got to be a team that would move a guy during the season; maybe even him if he isn’t traded and the wheels have come off for Denver again prior to the trade deadline. For Josh and essentially the team… I, personally, feel he’d benefit more from better all around line play than another toy. The old adage of “a QB can make a WR” comes to mind. Josh has and can dominate with just one bonafide star. Protect the franchise. Edited March 15, 2023 by BBFL Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Saint Doug Posted March 15, 2023 Share Posted March 15, 2023 I’d give a 2nd. A 1st if we knew we could sign him long-term. After a year of Josh Allen throwing to him, I doubt he’ll come cheap. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Good faith question here, do you disagree with this scouting report? Quote Overview Massive right tackle with rare length but limited athleticism that impacts his consistency. Defenders accustomed to winning with power will need to switch up their approach against Jones. His physical traits help cover up some of his athletic deficiencies, while his power can be better unleashed with accurate hand strikes and a run scheme tailored to what he does best. The former high school basketball standout has decent slide quickness in protection but is unable to find his feet when attempting to match inside counters or stall out gaming fronts. Jones is a work in progress with holes that will have to be covered up with scheme help, but he should become a starting right tackle if he maintains the playing weight his team desires.

I get the hesitation, but like Edmunds that person is likely not on the roster yet. You can replace Oliver with (a) a draft pick (b) a free agent currently (c) a camp cut or (d) maybe one of our own blossoms? I do not have a name in mind, yet I am more concerned about our plans for replacing Edmunds than Oliver. Oliver is replaceable and sure having no IDL on contract beyond this year is less than ideal, but IDL is a position where (for less than $10+m/yr you can find "Average Starters") which at best is precisely what Oliver is. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guess it’s going to be a case of him playing out the option year and then a decision is made… No fret as there is potential a slew of decent options going to be on the market; Quinnen Williams, Dexter Lawrence, Michael Pierce, Jeffrey Simmons, DJ Reader, Maliek Collins and Fletcher Cox Don’t think they’d want to take the burden of his finances to acquire him whilst sending young talent the other way.

Dr. Who Posted March 16, 2023 Share Posted March 16, 2023 I would offer 27. I think that gets the deal done. Even if folks are down on Oliver, he has ability and in the right situation he could thrive. Just getting rid of his cap hit is not enough compensation to throw him into the mix for me. If you are thinking Oliver and 27, I want Jeudy and a draft pick coming back. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
