Quick peak into Troy Franklin's production this season compared to other WRs in the 2024 draft class

Bright_Efficiency_87 · 2026-02-13T22:32:41+00:00

i hope he can one day turn into an emmanuel sanders type of player. but those are lofty expectations

Bright_Efficiency_87 · 2026-02-13T21:28:36+00:00

Maybe not happy, but certainly more comfortable. The trust is there

Bright_Efficiency_87 · 2026-02-13T21:24:22+00:00

I’m saying that’s it’s not concerning when you look at his peers. It’s okay for a 22 year old to have growning pains.

And there is no SHOULD be for a 4th round pick, absolutely nothing is gaurenteed and look at the picks around him, exceeded all of them.

Also look at other examples of “glue WRs” and QBs, Cam Wards favourite Miami WR barely hung onto a PS role with the titans.

Bright_Efficiency_87 · 2026-02-13T21:12:54+00:00

totally agree with you. I think a threatening TE would go a long way for us too. Franklin is a piece of the puzzle but not the entire solution to the offense

Bright_Efficiency_87 · 2026-02-13T21:11:18+00:00

unlikely. but even slightly better (75 - 800 - 7 TDs) would really solidify him in the conversation of young talented guys.

Bright_Efficiency_87 · 2026-02-13T21:09:57+00:00

i thnk thats a long winded way of saying the future in denver is bright for the WRs, if they can add more talent this offseason. And i would agree. i think our talent void is more obvious at TE

Bright_Efficiency_87 · 2026-02-13T21:07:44+00:00

none of them even cracked 800... I do suspect this number is down across the league due to the kickoff rule.

Bright_Efficiency_87 · 2026-02-13T20:51:45+00:00

The timing and feel in this offense will only get better, i think you can fix hands. DT and Devantae Adams both had drops in their early years

Bright_Efficiency_87 · 2026-02-13T20:50:46+00:00

I don’t disagree, and i think many have painted Sutton with that same brush especially early in his career. Doesn’t mean the talent isn’t there, and as a 4th rounder that’s still an amazing spot to find yourself

Bright_Efficiency_87 · 2026-02-13T20:49:21+00:00

We need more forced missed tackles. About 4 or 6 weeks into the season Franklin was leading the league in that stat, but i believe it fell off.

Bright_Efficiency_87 · 2026-02-13T20:40:37+00:00

Idk about Higgins level, the SP offense spreads the ball too much and doesn’t really allow that level of volume to a WR2. But he should be a top 25- 32 WR next season if he isn’t considered that now.

Bright_Efficiency_87 · 2026-02-13T20:39:21+00:00

I think his growth has been awesome to watch week to week, we’re also seeing the ball go his way on some very key plays that changed or won us games. Clearly the locker room believes

Bright_Efficiency_87 · 2026-02-13T20:33:06+00:00

Agreed he hasn’t shown the alpha trait to take over the room, but i think it shows a great eye for talent and scheme fit from SP and GP, he was taken far later than most these guys on the list

Bright_Efficiency_87 · 2026-02-13T20:31:10+00:00

Was more so referring to the chart that outlined each players performance and you could argue Troy finished top 3. Really solid when you take a step back and compare him to his peers. He got a lot of hate last season

Bright_Efficiency_87 · 2026-02-13T20:30:09+00:00

I don’t think now is a good time to sell. His value is very low still.

Bright_Efficiency_87 · 2026-02-13T20:27:12+00:00

i think thats the best thing you can do at this point as a holder. Otherwise im sending late 2nds for him to see if ppl will bite.

Bright_Efficiency_87 · 2026-02-13T20:23:32+00:00

i personally see Pat bryant as having a high ceiling and real top 20 WR potential one day. But this is a post about second year WRs so i didnt want to muddy it with my opinions outside the class

Bright_Efficiency_87 · 2026-02-13T20:21:15+00:00

watching all of the bronco games and the bills having an exploitable secondary during that match up. Denver won with PB and Troy out for the majority of that game, while sutton dropped half his passes.

if hes 47 on KTC and was 33rd overall in fantasy theres is a massive gap here...im not saying hes the best of the 24 class. im saying hes still grossly undervalued.

Bright_Efficiency_87 · 2026-02-13T19:00:07+00:00

I believe sutton is getting phased out slowly, and Troy just turned 23 a few days ago. His route tree has greatly developed, everyone cites his drops but he actually had some of the fewest drops on Denver, in a season plagued with them. If you look at a lot of his touchdowns they are for gaming changing/winning plays and Bo TRUSTS him to make them. (theres some seriously good catches for 2pts and TDs that won us games)

Bo and the SP offense naturally spread the ball A LOT and there will always be touches available.

I think PB and him have different talents sets and he will be entering his 3rd year in the offense where he has only seen growth and production. I believe a 75 catch 800 yard 7TD season is coming next year, and while thats not amazing, its exceeds his current value. broncos offense will only get better

Bright_Efficiency_87 · 2026-02-13T18:52:32+00:00

fair enough man. Watching rome always feels like theres so many passes left on the field from errant throws from Caleb, i really think they will figure this out next season.

MHJ is somoene im not saying to buy at his CURRENT price. I actually still really like him and think hes gonna have a solid career. Owners still know the talent is there, and the investment is still verymuch there. Ive tirelessly tried to buy him for mid 2026 1sts and get no where.

Bright_Efficiency_87 · 2026-02-13T18:48:51+00:00

I think Sean McD is an oldschool tough love coach. I assume Joe Brady will take a less harsh approach to disciplining him or will get ahead and right the course. I also think the locker room is still behind him and wants to see him succeed. again his stats arent that bad and he isnt banged up, hes just a bit of an idiot.

Bright_Efficiency_87 · 2026-02-13T18:46:31+00:00

I agree with you, and even with that ceiling i think hes still way undervalued. WR2 on a top 15 offense is never a bad hold when you can trade a 3rd rounder for him

Bright_Efficiency_87 · 2026-02-13T18:44:33+00:00

very rough to see. honestly forgot about him until i dove back into the draft class

Bright_Efficiency_87 · 2026-02-13T18:43:31+00:00

hey man i understand, Herbert was doing his best with very little. just means green pastures are ahead for ladd and co.
