Jaylen Waddle wasn’t just the best receiver in the 2021 NFL draft, he was the best receiver in all of college football and the Miami Dolphins were lucky to get him at sixth overall.
Some outlets saw it this way, but for a lot of analysts and fans (myself included), Ja’Marr Chase and DeVonta Smith were the favorites of this previous draft cycle.
