NFC POWER Rankings: Pre-Draft

[snackdaddy]

I get it. The only thing you can go by this time of year is what they did last year combined with what they're doing in free agency. But the Bears are ranked way to high. They are not better than the Packers. Probably not better than the Vikings. They'll likely be 4th in their division again.

I would not put the Commodes ahead of the Lions. But I get it. They beat the Lions in the playoffs. I still think the Lions are better. If they ever solve their defensive problems they could be in the Superbowl with that offense. CJ Stroud took a step back after a solid rookie year. We'll have to wait and see if Daniels continues his ascension as a star quarterback.

The 49er ranking is probably about right this time of year. But I have a feeling their ranking will drop by November. Seahawks might be about right too. I think they downgraded the quarterback and wide receiver positions. We'll have to see what kind of impact Kupp gives them.

Amazing player, better than I anticipated, I suspect he might not quite have as electric as a season but I think he'll be very good next year.

The caveat is unless his oline falls apart completely like Houston. Poor Stroud.

Yeah, I have a feeling he will be a problem for quite some time to come.
Super impressive.

I can let everything else slide since they have the 9ers as a bottom 2 team below the Panthers

The Rams should be #2 . They gave the Eagles their toughest competition and shored up weaknesses. Plus it's year two under Shula.

The Lions had a lot of coaching turnover. Plus 2020 Goff returned in the playoffs.

The Commodes were fun but teams will have an off season to dissect them a la Houston.

1) the north is overrated in general. The top two teams got worse, the bears have had a good offseason so far but they need a big jump from their 2nd year QB to be in the top 10. Packers? Meh.
2) I am disappointed in nearly the entire nfl media for praising the dweebo to Washington deal. He’s through. Has been since he got burned out at RB. He’s not a great WR. Below average. The WFT will not be the second best team in the conference.
3) So who is rising? I’d keep my eye on the panthers’ draft. They were a tough out down the stretch last season. They showed a lotta fight. A solid draft and a little protection for a 3rd year QB…the panthers would be my pick to possibly go from worst to first in a division.

It feels like the Lions have reached their high water mark and now will revert to mediocrity. The Commodes are NOT as good as the Rams, period. I think the Rams are probably Top 4 and can beat anybody.
