The injuries, his stat line, etc., Yeah he had a good rookie year and he's played well this year. That's not enough to get a 1st round pick, but desperate teams that have a decent chance of making the playoffs, make desperate moves. That's what happened here and we took advantage of it. Smart move.

WRONG! There is no reason with current ownership they couldn’t have made it work. Watch the Defense crater now. You do realize the deal was actually for the 49ers pick don’t you? This franchise is a clown show.

I kid! I kid! Crapshoot or not, that 1st round pick is huge. It's also a gamble thinking Chubb might WANT to stay in Denver or getting lesser compensation. We have depth, and it feels like they have been working on replacing Chubb the past few years. I get your point though, its hard to part ways when he's been playing so well lately.;

My problem is that Chubb was the guy that set the edge and helped us contain other team running game. Everyone get excited about sacks but the setting the edge and contain the run game is key in this 43 under scheme. The rest of the OLB are lite in the ass vs Chubb size and strength

This. The other guys we have are all one trick ponies.

I don’t disagree we are a clown show…but I don’t think this is a terrible deal with the emergence of other pass rushers…

Again, none of them besides Gregory can actually set the edge. King Henry is going to feast. Terrible deal is terrible.

No matter how you feel about this trade … you’re right.

I don’t know how they got more for Chubb than Von.

I don’t think the rams had anything to give us…. Draft picks are like free smarties in a bowl for them.

Age is the only thing that makes sense. Even still Von isn't THAT old and he's way better than Chubb. It's legitimately stunning we got a first but I'm not going to question it.

Yes, I'm fully aware this is the 49'ers pick. There's not going to be much difference between the two picks. It's not about making it work with Chubb, it's about value. That's all it is. Chubb isn't an all-pro that's making a name for himself in the NFL. He can be replaced and the organization gets value for him. And the broncos did "make it work." It worked out great.

How DEN’s EDGEs are doing in PRWR (min. 50 rushes):

1. Gregory (24.7%. Ranks 4th)
2. Browning (24.6%. 5th)
3. Bonitto (20%. T-17th)
4. Chubb (13.7%. T-63rd)

Im quite happy with Browning and think Bonitto has a ton of potential.

The 32nd pick will be in the 2nd round in 2023. Just saying…

I can see both sides, but I'm not a big fan of this. Getting the 1st is obviously very nice, but Chubb's a proven player who's just really hitting his prime. I get the numbers game from a roster construction standpoint, and the fact that we do have some talented depth there on rookie contracts. However, as Sid noted, Chubb is by far our best edge setter, and losing him isn't going to help our already shaky run defense. I'm not super excited about taking away from the one unit that's consistently playing well. At least we got solid value-- that certainly makes it a lot more palatable. Now Paton needs to go spend that pick on an OT, and I can live with it. And I will say that Chubb's injury history is a legit concern when it comes to signing him to a big extension. I'm not mad that someone else will get to roll that particular set of dice. And I do think Edmunds will make a nice addition to the offense. Murray (and Gordon- barf!) are fine between the tackles, but Edmunds gives us another guy who can get to the edges and function in the passing game.

Precisely. Denver lost their #1 and #2 in the Wilson deal. This gives us back a first to weather the storm. Chubb is a good overall player but not a star. He probably had one too many leg injuries and was never as good as he was projected to be.
