Bo Nick stepped up big as their franchise quarterback, but their playoff dreams ended in the AFC championship against the New England Patriots' thanks. To Nick's ankle injury and a nasty blizzard.

That adds serious speed to the offense, but it left them light on early picks for the 2026 draft. Now they hold seven selections, starting with pick 62 in the second round, then two in the fourth from the Saints and dolphins, one in the fifth and three late sevenths rounders.
