New England adds Jaylen Waddle to their depleted wideout core

It would be interesting to see Waddle fall this deep in the draft, but New England is in dire need of wideouts and there is no quarterback worth taking here that could start immediately. Adding Waddle would give them an immediate play maker and allow them to help out whichever quarterback they bring in.

The speedster will be able to do everything and more than what the Patriots need at the wideout position. If I had to guess, I would say the team will target Jacoby Brissett.

Patrick Peterson could be looking at the end of his time in Arizona and they need a replacement. Horn is good and could come in and fill that spot, if need be. If Peterson stays, this would still be a solid pick to improve their defense and give their elite offense a chance.

The Raiders fell flat on their faces last season losing their way out of the playoffs. The offense headlined by Derek Carr and Darren Waller, can go toe-to-toe with many teams, but their defense still has a lot of work to do.

Rousseau opted out of the 2020 season to prepare for the draft and is still considered a top defensive end prospect and could surpass Paye as the top defensive end in the draft.
