Don't send the torches and pitch forks for me.....I have one more trade. The Saints need a young QB and at 29 that would be a nyet chance!!!
At #14 perhaps NO can take someone(QB?) or a package can get them a QB. Imagine if we trade them our pick #14 and our second 4th rounder #134 for NO #29 in the 1st and their #40 in the second? The Draft trade points are the same. That give us three picks in the top 50.....but an avenue to entice Sean P to move Jeudy for say........ the #29 pick? Now he at least has a first rounder to use or move down and we get Jeudy.
No. On the draft value chart, 14 alone is worth more than 29 and 40 combined, so why would we give them a late 4th as well?
For instance, in 2021, the Giants sent pick 11 to the Bears, who used it to select Fields. In return, the Giants received pick 20, fifth-round picks in 2021 and Chicago's first and fourth-round picks in 2022.
The Bears were willing to pay a premium in order to get their QB of the future, but your proposed trade doesn’t represent good value. In order to drop from 14 to 29, the Pats should expect a high 2nd plus a late day 2 pick OR a 2024 1st and an early day 3 pick this year.
Jeudy had almost 1,000 yards (972) and 1 67% catch rate. He only missed one game in 2022. He had 4.46 speed and is 6'1" and 193lbs. He is the 18th rated WR with a terrible QB situation (worse than our bad QB production year) in 2022. He is an elite route runner.
In full disclosure yes I actually would trade our #14 for Jeudy as long as we got their #67 or #68 back in the 3rd. We could take a vote???

NO. Again, that represents poor value, even if they receive pick 67 or 68. Last year, AZ traded pick 23 for Marquise Brown (who was coming off of a 91-1,008-6TD year) and pick 100. The difference in value between 14 and 23 is ~ 70 points on the draft value chart, which translates into pick 57-59 range…..so, if the Pats traded 14 for Jeudy, they should expect to receive not only a late 2nd but
also a late 3rd, if one uses the Marquise Brown trade as a guide. I would say that Brown and Jeudy are in the same WR tier and had similar production entering year 4. In fact, overall Brown had been more productive years 1-3 than Jeudy.
If the Pats trade 14 for a WR, it has to be for a young WR1. That’s not Jeudy and pick 67 or 68 wouldn’t make me feel better about overpaying for a WR2. At 14 one of the top 3 CBs or OTs should still be there. Those should be the target positions. If they then want to get aggressive and trade back into later rd 1 in order to draft someone like Flowers, I’d be down with that.
