Miami Dolphins Trade Jaylen Waddle: Was It Worth It?

0:00On April 3rd, the Miami Dolphins are blowing up their roster this offseason, shipping out key vets left and right. The big shock was trading wide receiver Jalen Waddle to the Denver Broncos for the 30th overall pick in this year's draft, a late third rounder. Next year, and a swap of fourth round picks. Rumors had cooled off on Waddle moving, but Miami pulled the trigger anyway as part of a full rebuild. They've cut or traded away plenty of familiar names, grabbing extra draft ammo to restock. Now folks are buzzing about the return, with one NFL executive calling it light. He told the athletic it adds up to about the 25th pick's value, but Waddle's talent deserved way more like what the bear snagged for DJ Moore. Or rumors around AJ Brown. Critics say Miami left value on the table. They could have pushed for another day three pick, or even Broncos receivers like Troy Franklin or Marvin. Mims, who might get Barry now. Still, a first rounder is gold, and it's not a total bust.
