STACKED’s take
Waddle's efficiency metrics and Bo Nix upgrade support top-12 upside at WR21.
Waddle is one of Tal Malachovsky's favorite targets because people are looking too much at last season's final numbers and not enough at how well he actually played. He ranked 12th in targets per route run, 12th in yards per route run, and seventh in first downs per route run, showing talent and efficiency are still there. Denver gave up a first-round pick and a third-round pick while swapping fourth-rounders to get him, signaling a real plan to feature him. He is moving from an offense ranked 29th in neutral passing rate to one ranked fourth, and Bo Nix is a huge upgrade over Tua. Nix's ability to scramble and extend plays will give Waddle more time to get open downfield. With Waddle drafted around WR21, he offers legitimate top-12 upside at a fourth-round price.
