WR Devaughn Vele, NO (3 Viewers)

[SayWhat?]

Imagine using a 2nd, 4th, and 7th for the Shough to Vele combination. The Saints organization needs to be relegated to the CFL.

4th and a 7th for Vele is incredible. Who benefits from the remaining Denver WRs the most?

Why would the saints bother?

Bryant seems like the logical beneficiary.

Anytime you are in a rebuild and you can use that kind of capital on a soon to be 26 year old rookie QB and 27 year old second year WR you got to do it.

all I saw reported was they used a 6th/7th swap. So what? Big whoop. Post above say a 2nd and a 4th.????

Are you thinking of Skyy Moore?

Vele got a 4th and 7th.

No, the headline I saw was definitely a 6th/7th swap for Vele, but I see that is an error and everyone else is reporting it was a 4th. Somebody got their headline messed up and I believed it.

To get a 4th after one year of middling play from Vele would've been impressive. Somehow Sean got them to throw in a 7th as a top cherry. Crayons!

I have been on the Bryant wagon the second Payton used a third-round pick on him...from all reports I have seen he is looking good...I just cannot believe Denver got this much for him and a team like the Saints that are about ready to implode are trading draft picks for a player like Vele.

My first thought is this is to make way for Pat Bryant. I was fairly high on Bryant before this news, but even more so now.

Mims and Franklin are similar to each other and not really competition with Vele. The reason they trade Vele is because Pat Bryant is developing very well and Trent Sherfield will contribute as WR5 on special teams

As a Broncos Fan, I'm extremely Pleased with Mims, Bryant, and Franklin being the future WR group after the clear #1 Sutton eventually retires.

I'm surprised MN didn't acquire Vele

as someone with Vele on my taxi, I'm happy because he might have significant FF value

I never feel like any of them have clearly established they're in the lead.

Maybe Engram.

Some have had Olave traded and no they can't with his history and maybe....type trade thoughts since January. Olave to Jets would be so fun- either for Ohio State fans or Michigan fans if it doesn't work out; but either way fun

 

[Jacob's Ladder]

Engram is the guy that made Vele expendable IMHO. I feel bad for Vele, he is a hard worker that deserves better. Smart move by the Broncos though. Their WR room is looking pretty explosive with Franklin's and Mims' development and they basically flipped a 7th for a 4th after 1 season. A guy like Payton will take that deal all day every day. A 4th can really be used to help your team in an area of need (or as part of another trade).

 

[bolldpt]

I am happy as I had Sutton and Vele. Vele was a WW find for me so this is gravy.

Broncos got a 4th in 2026 and a 7th in 2027 for WR Devaughn Vele, who is 27 going on 28 this year. That doesn't mean everything, but that's pretty wild in context with the Saints. That 4th-rounder could be at the top of the round

Recouping the 7th they paid for him last year would've been plenty fair on paper. Getting a high 4th on top of that is Sean Payton just being a nasty boy.

 

[rockaction]

That’s New Orleans as they are currently run. Vele was competent last year. He is 27. I mean cot damn I get a seventh. The four is inexcusable,
