Last week the Denver Broncos made a bold decision by making the change at quarterback by choosing to start second-year gunslinger Tim Tebow under center for Week 7 in place of veteran Kyle Orton. With the Broncos offense making this drastic change and going with a different approach with Tebow under center, the first order of business was to look at shipping out wide receivers with value like Eddie Royal and Pro Bowl wideout Brandon Lloyd.

So far, Eddie Royal hasn’t gotten much attention on the trade market and might not be able to be moved this season, but Brandon Lloyd was a different story with plenty of teams showing interest in one of the best wide receiver in the league. Despite plenty of teams in the running for the veteran wide receiver, the Denver Broncos settled with a sixth-round draft pick in the 2012 NFL draft from the St. Louis Rams on Monday.

This was an interesting move by the Denver Broncos for quite a few reasons and the most notable reason being that Brandon Lloyd will team up with former Broncos head coach Josh McDaniels once again. With McDaniels struggling to get the offense going in St. Louis, the new offensive coordinator thought it would be a smart move to bring in his best offensive weapon from Denver and I’d have to say that it is a very smart move considering that it could be the missing piece of the puzzle for second-year quarterback Sam Bradford.

The St. Louis Rams are by no means the team they were last season as they dealt with multiple injuries and just don’t seem to have the same fire as last year, but Brandon Lloyd will definitely be an improvement for a team struggling on the offensive side of the football.
