NFL Trade Deadline 2011: Brandon Lloyd Is On The Block

The NFL trade deadline is next Tuesday October 18 and while NFL deadline deals are a bit of a rarity, a team looking for some help early in the season has an opportunity to make something happen. I don't even remember the last time the 49ers made a deadline deal, but some intriguing talent is out there and potentially on the mark.

I bring this up now because the Denver Broncos have put former 49ers wide receiver Brandon Lloyd on the trade block as they move further into a rebuilding process. The 49ers originally traded Lloyd to the Washington Redskins for a third and a fourth round pick.

I'm not saying the 49ers are going to make a move for Lloyd, but it is still interesting given the 49ers sometimes wide receiver issues. They will be getting Braylon Edwards back after the bye, so I suppose Lloyd is not exactly a logical candidate for a trade. Additionally, Matt Barrows inferred implied there were some significantly burned bridges when Lloyd was dealt. Here's a link from a Q&A before last year's Broncos game as well.

The 49ers have turned over their coaching staff and front office a fair amount since they dealt Lloyd so I don't know how much burned bridges would matter. Well, unless the Yorks held a particular grudge. Again, I'm not saying this is a deal that really even makes sense in the 49ers current offensive structure. But given the upcoming trade deadline and the fact that there are usually no known options available, I thought I'd at least broach the topic.

Crazy

I was just thinking about B Lloyd as an option a few nights ago. Reunited with Alex Smith.. He’s still got the NFL’s best hand.

I heard Alex Smith doesn't like him.

Who hasn't bashed Smith?

I know Crabtree has headbutted with Smith in the past.

Walker and Morgan were on the Troy Smith bandwagon when he came on the scene.

I think Tebow starting is already a sign of the Broncos giving up their season.

Orton still gives them the best chance of winning. Tebow gives them the best chance of putting butts in seats. Putting Lloyd on the block is part of the same attitude that has put Tebow in the starting lineup.

by Rhombus on Oct 13, 2011 7:05 PM PDT up reply actions  

Orton blows

He can put up numbers, but his play with the Broncos have never lead them to wins. It’s like the team doesnt play inspired when he’s on the field, and in Tebow’s case they go all out for him.

It’s not like having him there or not will matter much, either way Tebow will not win nor succeed.

This.

I’m a fan of Orton from a fantasy standpoint. And I love that fact that he loses a ton (because I dislike the Broncos)… so, from my perspective, Orton is the perfect QB for Denver. :)

That said, I think Tebow is more than a fluke and they were smart to take him late in the 1st round. I’m actually scared of what that kid could do to revive the Denver franchise, but wish him well.

Niners do need someone to stretch the field

Having 3 WR that require a corner and safety coverage would open the field up so much. That would create a lot of nightmares for opposing DCs.

It looks like the niners are "buyers" this deadline.

I wouldnt mind making a move, but how would our recieving core look? Crabs is a solid long threat, but he is just about the best on the team at making quick cuts to get past a DB. how about Crabs in the slot with Braylon and Lloyd outside? not sure.

It makes a lot of sense to go after Lloyd.

He’s great insurance for the rest of the WR corp. Crabtree’s foot might remain an inconvenience all year. We don’t know how Braylon’s injury will respond to football action. We just lost Morgan for the rest of the year. And as much as I may like them, Ginn and Williams are unknowns.

We’d have to trade a 4th or maybe even a 3rd for one year of Lloyd, but it’d be worth it. Though there is the possibility Lloyd returns to his old 49er self and be a complete bust for us. But it would give the team an excuse to cut Moran “9 Lives” Norris.

Lloyd is now a quality WR.

by dalien82 on Oct 13, 2011 10:00 PM PDT up reply actions  

Now that Morgan is on IR, Lloyd would probably be a good pickup.

We didn’t actually replace Morgan, we just added a ST guy. Lloyd could actually replace the void left by Morgan, and improve the WR corps quite a bit.

Depends on how much he’d cost, though, and whether or not we could get him for a short contract. He’s probably looking to sign a multi-year deal.

by Rhombus on Oct 13, 2011 7:08 PM PDT reply actions  

I have a feeling he sings with St. Louis

Mcdaniels did wonders for him, and he would go to a team in need of some WR’s.

One year of Lloyd for SF isnt the worse thing in the world, though there are probably better players available.

I'm hoping he doesn't go to the Rams.

The Rams have many problems, but I’d rather them continue to not have a single receiver on their team who can catch. It’s kinda funny in a very sad way to see Bradford’s throws bounce off their hands every single week.

St. Louis doing what we did when we drafted Alex? Draft a QB with the 1st overall pick and then throw him into the deep end of the pool to see if he sinks or swims.

Limited o-line protection and dropped balls all over the place. Almost reminds me of the Nolan years when our defense glared @ our offense for being incompetent.

Two good reasons he won't be coming to the Niners

1. He takes plays off
2. He doesn’t block downfield

Not sure what his problems are in the locker room but he’s been around for a guy that has obvious talent.

Call him out for Rapping after a blow out loss? I’m pretty sure Gore Hates BL.

Although that WR corps of Edwards and Loyd outside and Crabs in the slot would be pretty impressive.

With our D and Frank and those recievers we should be able to at least be a threat in the playoffs. Certainly not the Pakers but a threat.

Also how long would it take for BL to learn the offense, learn how to block, and loose the Randy Moss like ability to take a play off?

I can't say honestly because I didn't follow much Broncos games.

He did have a tremendous average yards per catch and all his highlights are practically straight sprints into the end zone. He’s not the greatest route runner in the world, I’m assuming McDaniels system somehow got him open deep, or he just simply ran past everyone.

Lloyd is a mini-T.O. The guy seemed more interested in making rap music when with Niners than catching passes with any consistency. Those acrobatic catches were separated by long periods of disappearance. Lousy blocker if I remember right. He’s not a team guy.

Next draft I want the biggest fastest receiver

In the first round.. Biggest fastest corner in the second round.. The 3rd and O-lineman.. Then I don’t care after that just best talent.. Id give a 4th rounder and Morran for Lloyd.. Harbaugh is a good coach and everyone seems to play better and have good attitudes around him.. So I’m willing to take the risk on just about anyone if it can make our team better.. He wouldn’t be all that effective for about 4-6 weeks.. But he would be prime for playoffs…

No accident that he’s jumped from team to team. He quickly wears out his welcome.

Brandon Lloyd could be Missing Link!

I’m all for nabbing Lloyd, and I’d even consider paying heavily in order to get him here. Think about the last time the 49ers had a receiver who can stretch defenses like Lloyd, it’s no coincidence they haven’t made the playoffs since they lost T.O. and never adequately replaced him.

Alex Smith appears to be finally coming into his own, and really doing all he can do, but with receivers dropping like flies around him, it’s going to be tough to keep up that success he’s been having. It doesn’t hurt that Lloyd already been through a year practicing with Alex and knows him relatively well. Forget Housmanzadah or any other washed out FA. They proved that wouldn’t work with Edwards (at least so far). Lloyd though could be the piece to this puzzle that makes this offense complete. Imagine opposing D’s having to gameplan for Crabtree, Edwards, Gore, Lloyd, Davis, Walker and even Teddy Ginn and Kendal Hunter. With this defense, that would be enough firepower for Alex to take this team into the playoffs. He’s also an unselfish player and wouldn’t pout if he didn’t get his 6 catches and 100 yards each week. As far as offensive trade options, there aren’t many, in my opinion, that would immediately improve the 49ers like Lloyd would.

Some more perspective on the subject and other potential 49er trade targets between now and Tuesday, http://baysportsjournal.blogspot.com/ (The Bay Area Sports Journal) is a cool site created by a long time Niner Nation/SBN contributor!

Let's stay put at receiver

I like Lloyd, but if we have to pay $$$ for him, I’m not down with the move. Anyways, how often do we put 4 receivers on the field? Crabs, Ginn, Williams can make things happen this week, and then we get back Edwards. Vernon and Walker are the ones that open up the offense for the most part. What we really need to do is run this football.

No

I like the chemistry we have and lets not bring in another WR we need to improve Crabtree first and get the bust label off of him

Agreed

Receivers aren’t the stars of this team anyways.
