Brandon Lloyd Traded to the Rams

The Broncos traded Brandon Lloyd to St. Louis Rams for a conditional draft pick in 2012. The pick is currently a 6th round pick, but if Lloyd catches 30 passes with the Rams, then that pick becomes a 5th round pick. It was a little surprising that Denver would make a move at the NFL trade deadline, but Lloyd wasn't going to figure into the future plans for the Broncos, so the Broncos moved him for a draft pick. Obviously, Lloyd is our most talented receiver, but the Broncos are in a rebuilding phase, and they want to see what they have with Eddie Royal, Eric Decker, DeMaryius Thomas, and Matt Willis. I don't get too worked up about receivers leaving. I wasn't even that upset when Brandon Marshall was traded. You need good receivers in the NFL, but it is better to have a group of solid receivers than one stud wideout. With Lloyd out, it will be interesting to see who Tim Tebow finds as his go to receiver.
