The pick is top 10 protected for next draft so losing it by finishing 8th would require 3 teams to jump us which has near zero % chance of happening.

The risk is there though, but its only significant at #10.

Right. I was thinking it was top 8 protected but that is 2026.

Even still, 2 teams skipped us last year from the 8th spot. So a 10th finish is likely to convey but not guaranteed.

Easily a top 3 pick. I don't think any of the young guys can level up into legit star/superstar status. But we do have a lot of guys that could be good pieces on a good team with star talent.
The West is so deep, the young dudes can play pretty well/show flashes while the team absolutely stinks
