"Broncos get Waddle and Dolphins’ 4th-round pick (11th in round) in this year’s draft. Dolphins get: 1st round pick (30th overall) along with late 3rd and 4th round picks (30th in each round) in this year’s draft," NFL Network's Tom Pelissero reported.
Why Dolphins traded Jaylen Waddle The Dolphins are clearly in a full tear-down rebuild and are trying to get as much draft capital as possible. Waddle was still young enough to be part of that rebuild, but clearly the Broncos made a Godfather-style offer that Miami just couldn't pass up. Now, the Dolphins are equipped with more draft capital that will assist in speeding up the aforementioned rebuild.
Why Broncos traded for Jaylen Waddle The Broncos had a young and unproven group at wide receiver beyond Courtland Sutton and desperately needed more help at the position to make another run at the Super Bowl. Now, Bo Nix's wide receivers room gets a massive upgrade.
