This year’s NFL Draft class is rich with wide receiver talent, particularly at the top with the trio of Ja’Marr Chase, Jaylen Waddle and DeVonta Smith. All three are locks to be first-round NFL Draft picks and should be taken within the first 15 selections, too.
But when it comes to Waddle, where will he be drafted? Could he go in the top six? Or will both Chase and Smith be selected ahead of him, causing him to fall out of the top 10? We’ll attempt to predict where Waddle will land based on his Over/Under draft position.
Let’s dive in on Waddle’s NFL Draft odds and betting lines.
NFL Draft odds: WR Jaylen Waddle draft position
- Over 10.5: +100
- Under 10.5: -125

Most analysts view Chase as the No. 1 receiver in this class despite him opting out of the 2020 season. After Chase, pundits are torn on whether Waddle or Smith will be the next wideout off the board, with a slight lean in Waddle’s direction. His draft position projection is 10.5 and I’m inclined to take the UNDER on that line.

If the Cincinnati Bengals take Chase at No. 5, that leaves the Miami Dolphins at No. 6 and the Detroit Lions at No. 7 as Waddle’s likeliest suitors. Both teams could use a dynamic receiver like him and there’s a decent chance one or the other will select Waddle. If they pass on him, a team like the New York Giants or Philadelphia Eagles could come up from outside the top 10 to draft him inside the first 10 picks.
Waddle should have the edge over his former teammate Smith, which is likely to get him drafted inside the top 10.
