The NFL news cycle never stops and that much was proven, once again, on Saturday when the Denver Broncos traded Jerry Jeudy to the Cleveland Browns for fifth- and sixth round picks in the 2024 NFL Draft.
The Broncos have been trying to trade Jeudy for a while now and they finally accomplished that goal, even if the return is minimal.
Denver initially had six picks before the trade was consummated and now, they have eight that include three picks in the fifth round and two in the sixth. Below is the updated list of picks after the trade:
Cleveland had two picks in each of the rounds before the trade: Nos. 135 and 155 in Round 5 and Nos. 202 and 205 in Round 6. So, the Broncos received the highest selections of the bunch.
Obviously, two Day 3 picks aren't going to turn a franchise around or anything, but there have been plenty of good players picked on Day 3 over the course of NFL history. If the Broncos can even snag one guy like that, then it'll go a very long way toward speeding up the franchise's rebuild after the Russell Wilson debacle.
