After trading for Jaylen Waddle, the Denver Broncos are suddenly deep at wide receiver, prompting speculation that the team could trade away a wide receiver for extra draft capital or a player that could fill a position of need.
Last week, John Kosko of Pro Football Focus published a list of every NFL team’s most valuable trade asset, and he listed receiver/returner Marvin Mims for the Broncos.

“With that surplus, it makes sense that one of the younger options could become expendable — most notably Marvin Mims Jr. or Troy Franklin,” Kosko wrote for PFF.
Denver might not trade either player, but our view is that Franklin would be the smarter choice if it happens. Kosko went with Mims, merely because he believes Mims could fetch more in a trade.
“While neither would command significant draft capital, Mims likely carries more value due to his added impact as a returner,” Kosko wrote.
If the Broncos wouldn’t receive much in a trade for Mims anyway, it would make more sense to keep him. There’s no reason to trade him just for the sake of making a trade, especially when Mims can make an impact in multiple phases of the game. While it does seem far to say Mims would draw more than Franklin in a hypothetical trade, Denver shouldn’t part with the two-time All-Pro this offseason.
