The Denver Broncos made a trade to acquire Jaylen Waddle from the Miami Dolphins earlier this week, giving the team a much more positive outlook at the wide receiver position.
The Broncos added one of the league's quickest receivers, one with nearly 400 receptions in his four seasons in the league. This move will allow Courtland Sutton to settle into more of a No. 2 role within the offense, taking some pressure off of him.
It should also allow for continued growth for the young wide receivers behind them on the depth chart and the team shouldn't need to force them into situations they aren't ready for. However, the Broncos did have to give up multiple draft picks in order to obtain Waddle. With Waddle, Sutton, Troy Franklin, Marvin Mims Jr.
, Pat Bryant and Lil'Jordan Humphrey on the roster, there is a question about whether the Broncos should consider moving one of the younger receivers they have. With the draft still ahead, followed by the undrafted rookie process, the team could still add more receivers before the season starts. The Broncos should consider trading one of these players and the one that seems to make the most sense is Franklin.
