I don't know. They have two rookie quarterbacks with a LOT of potential although I wish they would give Sanders some playing time as I think he has more potential than Gabriel.
If there is an assured #1 wide receiver available such as Hunter in 2025 I think that is the direction I'd go. When used, they have a strong running attack but receivers are dropping WAY too many balls. The offensive line is well able to protect a mobile QB but not someone like Flacco in the early part of this season. If an assured #1 receiver isn't available I might look at an offensive tackle. Actually an offensive tackle is hard to judge. In most cases you want the best left tackle to protect the quarterback's 'blind side' but Gabriel is left handed so you would need to look for the best right tackle. Of course a good tackle can usually play both left and right but, normally, they will be better on one or the other.
As said, dropped balls have been a big issue but I can't say it is all the fault of the receivers. Again, part of it, could be Gabriel being left handed. This reverses the spin on the ball and, especially if it is a hard thrown ball, makes it harder to catch by a receiver that grew up with right handed throwers.
Defense is more than solid when they don't spend 2/3 of the game on the field.
Bottom line, I guess, is that right now I don't know what I'd do with a 2026 first pick.
