Broncos Trade for Waddle, Boost Offense

0:00On March 19th, the Denver Broncos pulled off a huge trade on Tuesday, sending three draft picks to the Miami Dolphins for wide receiver Jalen Waddle and a fourth round pick in return. This move comes after the Broncos dominated last season with a 14-3 record and the top seed in the AFC. They needed the dynamic playmaker on offense, and Waddle fits perfectly as a sharp route runner who excels at all field levels. The quarter bag bow Nick stands to gain the most, with Waddle adding a versatile threat that should stretch defenses and open up the passing game. Veteran Cortland Sutton also benefits, as extra attention on Waddle could free him up for bigger plays downfield. Rookie Troy Franklin might take a hit though, potentially dropping to 5th on the depth chart behind Sutton, Waddle and others like Marvin Mims or Pabriant limiting his snaps if he doesn't contribute on special teams. Overall, this strengthens Denver against AFC West Rivals, especially with seven picks left in next year's draft and plenty of salary cap room for more, moves ahead.
