There's no way they give up the #20 AND the #33 for Cutler.

I think it's plausible

I don't.

The Chiefs just gave up #34 for two players, including Matt Cassel. Cutler hasn't had a winning season since high school and while he's got a great arm, he's certainly not at the point in his career where he's worth two picks in the top 34.

While Cutler doesn't have the record, many teams view him as a legit future franchise QB. Those don't come cheap, and it only takes 2 teams to drive up the price.

And another opinion from the other thread(Peter King FWIW):

"Say you're the Broncos, and Tampa Bay offers you two ones [two first-round picks] plus [second-year quarterback] Josh Johnson for Cutler,'' one NFC coach told me. "Denver makes the deal and picks a quarterback with one of the ones. You've traded the best young quarterback in football for two guys who might have a chance, but might be washouts too. Denver's problem is they could never get fair value for him.''

It's Peter King. He has to take time off from sucking Denver dick to write his columns. Cutler has a huge arm and a losing record as a starter. He's far more valuable to Denver than anybody else. Furthermore, he wants a new deal. Despite the draftees being unproven, it's still less costly to take a chance on one of them when Cutler himself is largely unproven and has baggage to boot.
