Ron Stewart on Jaylen Waddle

WR16 value pick with elite play-action fit in Broncos offense

Waddle ranked as wide receiver 16 and positioned as a mid-to-late third round pick in redraft. Despite 2.19 yards per route (14th best) in a terrible Miami offense last year as WR25, his career 2.1 yards per route is elite for a player running routes next to Tyreek Hill with Tua at QB. Now with the Broncos (who traded a first-round pick for him), he projects to top-10 in pass attempts and has 4.22 yards per route on play action (7th best in NFL); the Broncos had the third-most play action pass attempts last year—a perfect skill-set match. Ron Stewart continues to move him up and was reinforced in his bullish stance by Matt Harmon's recent appearance.
