He's sure easy to root for.
He's a fighter and a winner. He's on a path to being a stud #1 WR for a decade.
As bad as our OL has been and as much as missing out on Sewell or staying put after the SF trade (vs trading up with Philly) and getting Slater seemed better, our continuing problems at WR would be So Much worse and harmful without Waddle in there giving 110%.
Dolphins are more lucky than good that he is as big of a person as he is and contributes how he does. But Im glad he's on our team.
 
I do not have a problem with Waddle, but not seeing he has validated being the #6 pick in the 2021 draft and currently the #5 pick in the 2022 draft.

Chase is the only one who has played worthy of spending that much draft capital on a player so far.

Waddle being worthy will come when/if he is able to regularly turn small gains into long TDs and proves himself to be a top 5 receiver year after year for the next decade.

Mac Jones at #15 of the 1st round was the best value pick of the draft. He appears to be a very smart, skilled QB who will be the Patriots starter for the next 10 years.

Agree. Hated to see it.

Didn’t see a chance Miami would draft a QB though. Seemed they were locked in on a receiver at #6.

That Barmore also dropped to the Patriots was disappointing.

Pump the brakes until he actually beats a Good team on the regular. Patriots have lost every game this year when playing a Good team with a solid QB.
 
My thread also focuses on Waddle filling what has, once again, turned into a desperate need. We Needed a player at WR that isnt a fkn ***** and we got one. Hallelijah!

2021 quarterbacks drafted :
#1 Lawrence
#2 Wilson
#3 Lance
#11 Fields
#15 Jones

I understand that Miami's perspective was "Tua needs a star receiver" but in hindsight the team should have probably drafted Jones and had him compete with Tua for the starting job.
 
Waddle is good he going to start putting up bigger numbers, also he is great for 3rd down conversions. He is worth the pick considering our draft success ratio.

I was really liking Fields if we were going to go QB. Mac would be on his back 10 times a game for us.
