Deep Pick choiceDraft DeVonta Smith over Lamar Jackson if both are on the board. This is a cross-position call, so raw WR and QB points are not the tiebreaker: DeVonta Smith is WR16 and No. 28 overall, 57 spots ahead of Lamar Jackson at QB5 after the board weighs replacement value, weekly startability, ceiling, role resilience, and playoff runway. Lamar Jackson remains a strong roster-build alternative, but DeVonta Smith is the cleaner pick unless a newer structured status showing unrestricted participation or clearance would supersede this adjustment.

Lamar Jackson’s strongest real path is leveraging the massive role-command profile to reach his very high median and ceiling.
A newer structured status showing unrestricted participation or clearance would supersede this adjustment.
