Assuming Aaron Rodgers stays in GB. I will say I have the Giants as a potential top 4. They got a lot of good talent the past couple years, and if Daniel Jones takes the nest step they'll be really good. I have them as a WC contender.

The Packers, Niners and Hawks all have big ? hanging over them. Packers would be a top team IF Rodgers is QB. Niners don't even know who their QB will be. There reportedly is a riff between FO & ownership vs Shanny. The FO & Yorks want to take redshirt their rookie this year while Shanny who is feeling some heat after their SB loss wants the rookie to sink or swim this year. If Jimmy G is their QB I would probably rank them ahead of Seattle. That said it's interesting what is coming out of Seattle regarding Waldron. He's brought McVay's system of tempo to Seattle. He's also brought McVay's system of route options to the Hawk WRs. Apparently, this whole McVay eye candy thing is also part of his package. That said, they will have to outscore their opponents because their defense remains the team's Achilles heel.

I seriously question whether Rodgers returns. He's such a diva he might retire just to spite the FO so IMO this whole thing shows how poorly the Packer FO knows their own player. They need to just get what they can for him and move on.

AFC
KC
Bills
Ravens
Colts/Titans/Cleveland (Cleveland has the talent on the roster, but I'm not sold on them. Stefanski coached well last year but that's a far cry from being proven. I put them on par in terms of talent with the Colts and Titans but not in terms of HCs.

NFC
Rams
Bucs
Niners (with Jimmy G)
Packers (with Aaron) / Sea Hawks (if Rodgers isn't in GB)

If Aaron leaves the NFCN it opens the door for the Vikings and yes Detroit. If the Niners start Lance then I think they drop to the bottom of the division and AZ finishes in 3rd place.

IMO the NFC will come down to the Rams and Bucs if Rodgers leaves GB. The Saints have issues beyond QB that Brees mitigated. No one is challenging Tampa in the NFCS. I don't see a SB-ready team in the NFCE. Rodgers makes GB a contender which is why the FO doesn't want to let go. Without Aaron, they fall back to the rest of the division. If Detroit's OL lives up to their own estimation of being a "decent" unit then Goff could be a factor in a Rodger-less NFCN.

As of June 30th 2021...

AFC
Chiefs
Bills
Titans
Ravens

In the AFC mix: Browns/Colts

NFC
Buccaneers - only because they have all starters back. A SB hangover is not to be taken lightly
Rams
Packers with Rodgers reporting to training camp on time
Seahawks/49ers tied.

In the NFC mix: Cardinals/Washington/Cowboys/Giants - can't make up my mind.



Very hard to predict right now but the favorites are hard to argue against at this point in time.

There is always a surprise 2 or 3 teams that make it to the dance every postseason.

Realistic. We didn't beat the same playoff defense in the regular season. They took it to another level.

We beat them, I'll switch it.

 

[FaulkSF]

I'm not sold on the Titans. They can run up the scoreboard, but did little to improve their awful defense.

Yeah but Brady sucked in the Playoffs - we could have taken them if Donald got better in another week.

They tried, or at the very least changed some parts out. The defense could be their achilles heel.

Titans' new-look defense ranked in bottom half of NFL

The Titans’ ranking is fair considering the current situation with the defense.

Titans' new-look defense ranked in bottom half of NFL​

The Tennessee Titans have undergone a lot of changes on both sides of the ball during the 2021 offseason, but the biggest adjustments have been made on the defensive side thus far.

Tennessee spent over $100 million to improve their defense with additions such as cornerback Janoris Jenkins, outside linebacker Bud Dupree and defensive lineman Denico Autry.

To further bolster their defense, which was among the worst in the NFL last season, Tennessee drafted cornerbacks Caleb Farley and Elijah Molden, as well as inside linebacker Monty Rice; however, those three players are no doubt wild cards for 2021, and really, beyond.

The changes didn’t come without some tough decisions, though, as the team also had to part ways with Adoree’ Jackson, Malcolm Butler and Kenny Vaccaro, on top of losing DaQuan Jones in free agency.

Granted, it wasn’t easy losing any of those players, but then again all four were present in the debacle that was Tennessee’s defense last season.

After all the smoke has cleared from Tennessee’s offseason moves, Bleacher Report’s Alex Kay ranked the Titans’ current unit at No. 22 in his power rankings for every defense in the league.

After ranking amongst the worst defenses in the league last year, the Tennessee Titans knew they had to improve on this side of the ball to realistically contend.

The organization deserves credit for completely revamping some of their most problematic areas this offseason. It overhauled the cornerback position after cutting 2020 starters Adoree’ Jackson and Malcolm Butler, signing Janoris Jenkins and using a first-round pick on Caleb Farley to replace them. The team also added one of the best nickelbacks in the class when it selected Elijah Molden in the third round.

The Titans also needed to work on their edge-rushing capabilities, accomplishing the goal by paying top dollar for Bud Dupree, getting a proven veteran in Denico Autry and taking Rashad Weaver at No. 135 overall.
There is still some work to be done here—most notably at the safety position—but Tennessee is poised for a significant improvement this coming campaign.

The ranking is more than fair considering where Tennessee’s unit currently stands.

After all, we really don’t know what the Titans’ defense will be yet with all of these new parts, and Dupree coming off a torn ACL and the uncertainty of the incoming rookie class makes things even more unpredictable.

Even some players who were already on the roster and could be stepping into bigger roles, like Amani Hooker and Kristian Fulton, are also wild cards. We still don’t know who will replace Jones’ snaps, either.

There’s no question that the talent is there on paper, just like it was last season, but turning that talent into successful execution is another story. Not to mention, defensive coordinator Shane Bowen has to be better.

At worst, we expect the Titans’ defense to be average in 2021, which would be a big step up from 2020 and enough of a complement if Tennessee can continue the torrid offensive pace it has set the past two years.

I wouldn't count the Steelers out. If its division winners then Titans replace Browns and Cowboys replace Seahawks. WFT has a good defense but offense usually wins these days.
