Matthew Freedman would consider drafting Lamar Jackson if his ADP falls into the 5th or 6th round, specifically if he is available after quarterbacks like Drake Maye or Joe Burrow. At that point, the risk-to-reward ratio becomes more palatable compared to his current consensus QB2 pricing.NegativeBustAug 7, 2026

While his ceiling remains elite, the uncertainty of the new offensive environment and his age (29) make him a risky premium-priced asset.PositiveProjectionAug 3, 2026
