Yeah, this is the fourth pick of round four.
There's literally an endless list that makes Jaylen Waddle a smash selection in round four here.
I mean, over four yards per route run on play action last season, and the Dolphins were not good last season.
And the Broncos, you know, had the third-most passes off of play action in the league.
And if you just, again, look at the Dolphins not being good, Jaylen Waddle was still the wide receiver 18 in points per game from weeks one through 16 on offense that was 31st in plays per game.
Now he goes to an offense that is fifth in plays per game, and that offense that is fifth in plays per game gave Courtland Sutton 220 more routes than Jaylen Waddle- Wow got last year.
220 more routes.
So yes, maybe we should speak more, Hayden, about how he gets banged up and ends up in the blue tent a bit more often.
That's fine.
I'm hoping that it doesn't happen, because if it doesn't happen and we get 17 games out of Jaylen Waddle, he's one of these players who is, you know, drafted as wide receiver 17, that when we talk about league-winning upside, jumping from wide receiver 17 up to, like, the wide receiver seven in scoring, albeit that would be like a home run swing, but that is what league winners are made.
It's not these small wins.
It's big wins.
And Jaylen Waddle has big win potential this year
