2026 pick board

Cincinnati lists Joe Burrow first, while Tampa Bay's initial chart had Tristan Wirfs and Vita Vea not practicing. Those absences are not Week 1 designations, but Cincinnati's quarterback and home-field edges justify laying the hook.

Jared Goff provides Detroit a quarterback edge, but Tyler Shough returns after starting nine games for New Orleans in 2025. Detroit is installing a new offense and center Michael Mays will miss significant time, so laying seven carries risk.

The Jets list veteran Geno Smith first, while Tennessee lists second-year Cam Ward first under new coach Robert Saleh. Both teams have new systems and active camp injuries, making the full field goal the safer value.

Baltimore changed its head coach and both coordinators, while Nate Wiggins' knee severity remained unknown on August 11. Indianapolis has its own receiver and quarterback health concerns, so this is a low-confidence play on the hook.

Pittsburgh lists Aaron Rodgers first, while Michael Penix Jr. had not been cleared for Atlanta's 11-on-11 work. Atlanta also lost Jalon Walker for the season, making Pittsburgh preferable at the key number.

Chicago lists Caleb Williams first and retains Ben Johnson, while Carolina lists Bryce Young first under Dave Canales. Coby Bryant's long-term absence and Chicago's travel keep the edge modest.

Cleveland has not resolved its Watson-Sanders quarterback competition, while Jacksonville has several offensive-line availability concerns. Trevor Lawrence gives Jacksonville more stability, but the combined offensive uncertainty favors the listed under.

Buffalo's August 11 camp work had Josh Allen with the first team, while Houston lists C.J. Stroud first and has returned Tank Dell to team drills. Allen at less than a field goal remains the narrowest side despite Houston's defensive strength.
