Holding the No. 1 overall pick is both a blessing and a trap. For the Las Vegas Raiders, it represents hope after another humiliating season.

For years, the Miami Dolphins sold speed. Speed on the outside, in space, and speed that terrified defensive coordinators. They were supposed to light up highlight reels.

The Indianapolis Colts learned the hard way in 2025 that fast starts mean nothing without finishers on defense. For 10 weeks, they looked like a legitimate AFC South powerhouse.
