Jake, I think it’s fair to look at big-picture stuff with the Broncos at this point. They play the Bears and Jets the next two weeks. If they’re not at least 1–4, then we’re talking about this being a bad team, with the Chiefs, Packers and Chiefs again on the schedule for the rest of October, and the trade deadline Oct. 31.
So I don’t think it’s overstating it to say the next two weeks could—and maybe should—chart the course for Payton and GM George Paton in what they do with their roster.
If this team is 0–5, it’d make sense to explore what you might be able to get for Jerry Jeudy, Courtland Sutton, Garett Bolles, Randy Gregory or even Justin Simmons (Patrick Surtain II, for me, would probably be the one untouchable). And the reason why it’d make sense is because then, as I see it, you may be looking at a longer rebuild, and one that those five guys might not want to be a part of a couple of years from now.
Remember, the Broncos were depleted of draft picks the past two years as a result of the Russell Wilson trade, which has made it more difficult to build depth. So if Payton comes to the determination that the core of the 2023 team isn’t going to grow into one consistently capable of contending in a division that has Patrick Mahomes and Justin Herbert, then it makes sense to consider which pieces of the core might be assets to construct a new, sturdier, more capable core.
Not only did they lose pics for Tater, they also lost a 1st and 2nd for Payton.That's why, in part, they have no depth. And the free agents they signed are shit. When do we get to turn "Denver" into a verb or adjective??? [Reply]

We've never wanted bronco trash on the Chiefs, and we don't want them now [Reply]

Sure, if you would trade Mahomes for Wilson, Sutton, Gregory and a third. That's 3 starters and a pick! [Reply]

The Washington State Cougars struggles spawned the term "Coug'd". As in "Oh no they Coug'd it".
I'm going with getting Donked. "Oh Man Nebraska got Donked by (insert whatever D3 school here)." [Reply]
This isn’t meant to be a dick…I wouldn’t trade a first for Surtain right now.
To take it a step further, I’m not sure there is a single player from Denver’s roster I’d trade for right now. Top to bottom is an epic bad roster. [Reply]
