Podcast7 Players to Avoid in Your Drafts with Matthew FreedmanAugust 7, 2026

From the episode

I would say if he falls below Drake may, if he goes into round five, round six, even if he falls below Joe burrow... then I would really start to consider Lamar Jackson.

STACKED’s take

Negative signalValue

Jackson becomes a value target if he falls to the 5th or 6th round

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.
