For the Denver Broncos, this move is about efficiency and recovering some draft value after going all in to acquire Jaylen Waddle. With Waddle and Courtland Sutton leading the receiver room, Marvin Mims becomes more expendable. Since Denver already gave up major draft capital, moving a rotational player for a fourth round pick helps restock assets while also clearing a bit of cap space.

For the New York Jets, this is a low risk bet on upside. Mims brings elite speed and fills a need as a vertical threat, something that could open up the field for Garrett Wilson. Giving up a Day 3 pick for a young former second rounder makes sense, especially if he can contribute as a deep threat and return specialist on a cheap deal.
