The Denver Broncos have been the talk of the town when it comes to the offseason drama that makes its way through to teams this time of year. For them, it's the fact that other teams are extremely interested in two of their best players.
But, since then, both George Paton and Sean Payton have said they won't be trading Jerry Jeudy or Courtland Sutton. They think those guys are going to be a part of the future of this team. That doesn't mean teams will stop calling though.
Two ESPN analyst have their own opinions on the situation at hand for the Broncos:
Dan Graziano: The Broncos aren't hanging up the phone when teams call them about receivers Jerry Jeudy and Courtland Sutton. Denver needs picks and knows it could get something of value in return for one of those guys. But at this point, with a month left before the draft, the Broncos are still asking a lot in return. We will see if things change as the draft gets closer, but for now, Jeudy and Sutton remain Broncos and nothing seems like it's close to happening to change that.
Jeremy Fowler: I'm with Dan on the Denver receivers — no real traction to a deal right now, and Denver's offense has been too bad to unload talent without viable capital, but the weeks before the draft could intensify talks. The Broncos haven't exactly squashed that they are listening to offers. The Ravens have been fairly active in the wide receiver market. As Dan mentioned above, they've looked into Beckham. I've heard the same for DeAndre Hopkins and Courtland Sutton. They seem open to potentially adding a quality outside receiver, whether Jackson is in the lineup or not.
The Denver Broncos do need picks, but, here is my thing about the picks. How are we so sure that whoever the Broncos take with those draft picks will pan out? It's never guaranteed. But they do have a guarantee that the guys they have now can play as they have already seen it.
But, then again, the Broncos desperately need more draft capital. It's a situation to monitor for sure. It's looking like if there is a guy in that receiver room that would be traded away, it's Courtland Sutton.
