Denver Broncos wide receiver Jerry Jeudy's play this season has been fairly nondescript. Jeudy looked to be on the verge of a breakout season this year; Jeudy averaged 2.29 yards per route run last season according to playerprofiler.com. He led the Broncos in receiving last season. With a new coach in Sean Payton, the arrow was pointed up for Jeudy. Instead, the most notable event regarding Jerry Jeudy this season was him getting eviscerated on live television by NFL Network analyst and former All-Pro wide receiver Steve Smith Sr.

It wasn't that long ago when Jerry Jeudy got drafted ahead of the likes of Justin Jefferson, CeeDee Lamb, Brandon Aiyuk, Michael Pittman Jr., and Tee Higgins in the 2020 NFL Draft. But a lackluster beginning to his career (Jeudy has 2,581 yards over the first 47 games of his career in his fourth NFL season; Jefferson has more than double that in only eight more games played) along with a coaching change has put Jeudy firmly on the trade block. ESPN's Bill Barnwell proposed a hypothetical trade involving Jeudy being sent to the Green Bay Packers. What is the trade and would it be worth either the Packers' or Broncos' while to make that trade happen?

Trade: Denver trades Jerry Jeudy and 2024 Fourth-Round Pick to Green Bay for Romeo Doubs and 2024 Second-Round Pick

Packers perspective

Jerry Jeudy may not have lived up to his draft status so far in his career, but he still is probably a better receiver than Romeo Doubs. There are different types of receivers, however. Doubs has been deployed as the Packers' X receiver, the role that Courtland Sutton currently occupies in Denver.

Doubs is the one the Packers use to take downfield shots and win 50-50 balls. He's performed fine in that role but he hasn't been super efficient over his career. Doubs is averaging 1.51 yards per route run for his career after posting that mark last season and maintaining that pace to begin this season. That's fine, but nothing special.

The Packers could stand to deploy Christian Watson, another player used largely downfield, even more as an X receiver, and have Jerry Jeudy win in the intermediate part of the field as the Packers' preeminent chain mover. He would fit quite well next to Watson and rookie slot receiver Jayden Reed, but Reed does have a similar game and skillset to Jeudy too.

The talent and fit would be worth the Packers to pursue, but a second-round price tag might be too high, even with Green Bay having an extra one of those at their disposal. This is a fair deal, but if the price were a third-rounder for Jeudy instead of a second while receiving a fourth in return, the value would be better for the Packers after considering Jeudy being due a contract extension soon.

Broncos perspective

The New York Giants traded Kadarius Toney to the Kansas City Chiefs around this time last season for a third and sixth-round pick. Though the Giants drafted Toney a year after the Broncos drafted Jeudy, the situation is awfully similar: two former first-round picks whose teams that drafted them seem ready to move on after a new coaching staff has entered the building.

To Jeudy's credit, he at least has shown much more than Toney has so far in their careers, so it isn't a direct apples-to-apples comparison to what Jerry Jeudy could fetch in a trade. But getting a second-round pick and another capable receiver would be a great haul for the Broncos if they could pull this off, even if it means parting with a fourth-round pick.
