KJ Hamler tears ACL; out for the year

So ironic, we were thinking about trading Tim Patrick because we had so much WR depth - Jeudy/Hamler out, now we're lucky to have Patrick.   Trinity Benson was traded away, we'd probably have him as our 3rd WR now until Jeudy's back.

Problem for DEN's O is that Jeudy and Hamler win in different areas than Patrick, who is more like Sutton-lite.   Damn, that's going to drop our O's pass ceiling by a MILE (no pun intended).

The silver lining is for Kendall Hinton - if the name sounds familiar, he's the guy who took one for the team and played QB vs. NO last year when all of our QB's were out with Covid.  He's the #3 until Jeudy returns.  Ugh.

I know trading depth for picks seems like a good idea and makes the draft more fun but unless you get above market value you're better off keeping them.

To be fair, Benson went for a 5th, and he's no more than a 4th-5th WR, so that wasn't terrible.  Just can't predict that level of attrition.  Thing is, he couldn't have stuck on the team, we'd have to have cut a guy ahead of him, so made sense.   Patrick was about getting value that made it worthwhile, though.  Didn't happen, to our fortune.

100%, that makes perfect sense. Patrick is actually decent though as a #2 or 3 which still holds value when he is your #4 assuming everyone is healthy. I just mean that his value/talent is that of a #2 or 3 and unless you got a trade value above that, you shouldn't deal him despite being #4 on the depth chart
