Broncos' Trade Chip: Mims or Franklin?

On March 30th, the Denver Broncos just traded for Jalen Waddle, stacking their wide receiver

room deep with talent like Cortland Sutton, and now this, Speed Demon.

Suddenly, they're loaded, spocking talk they might flip one of those receivers for extra

draft picks or a player to plug a hole elsewhere on the roster.

Last week, Profoot Ball focus dropped a list of every team's top trade chip, and for

the Broncos, they tapped receiver and returner Marvin Mims Jr. as the guy with the most

value.

Analysts like John Costco point out that, with the surplus, a young gun like Mims or

rookie Troy Franklin could be expendable.

Costco leans Mims because his return skills boosts his trade stock, even if neither would

pull massive draft hauls.

But here's the smarter play, if Denver moves anyone, go with Franklin over Mims.

Mims shines on offense and special teams as a two-time all pro-caliber returner, so

why shop him for peanuts when he impacts multiple phases?

Bottom line.

The Broncos are in a strong spot, post-waterl, but holding on to versatile pieces like Mims

keeps their edge sharp heading into the season.
