Draft rankings after the draft are worthless lol. Most gave us an F, the year we took Wilson "Too short" & Wagner "small school". I'm sure most ignored the Saints draft last year.

We took maybe the best all-around RB in Penny (outside of Saquon). I think he'll be a stud for us. Best back we've had since Beastmode. Boy, did we need one. Rumor is NE was about to take him (Instead of Sony Michel). Cleveland wanted him too. We didnt have a 2nd Round pick. But, according to most got decent value in the 3rd (DE Rasheed Green USC). My favorite pick is Shaquem Griffin. Anyone who has watched him knows he's a good football player. A steal in the 5th Round. For the most part, I really liked our draft.

Seattle made the same mistake like the Giants last season (oline) and you saw what happened. That’s the reason why I really think next year will be a 5-win season.

We've drafted lineman early before (Ifedi 1st in 2016 & Pocic 2nd last year) & our line still was awful lol. We could've drafted someone like Hernandez but we obviously valued a RB more. Again, not having a 2nd Round pick somewhat hurt us. I'm hoping that with the addition of Duane Brown (Pro Bowl LT) & DJ Fluker this offseason, our line isn't so inexperienced. Like it was at the beginning of last year.

30. Colts - is Luck missing all of this season too?
31. Cardinals - too low
32. Browns - too low




My bet is that the Bears, Jets and Dolphins will be fighting it out for the #1 pick next year. Ravens a distinct possibility as well. I could see the Bills tumbling massively as well, if McCoy gets dinged up like he tends to do..

Panthers always seem to overachieve so I could be wrong there
Chiefs lost their best DB and are handing over the team to a vastly different QB than they had before, who has had accuracy issues.
Titans have all this potential but just always seem to fall short, Mariota is extremely inconsistent
Packers will have Rodgers all year right? Underrated front 7, and cant forget addition of Jimmy Graham
Chargers are a top 5 team in my book right now. Where are they weak?
Giants are entirely banking on Eli having some more gas in the tank, I just dont see it
Ravens are coached so well that its been easy to miss how their OL has crumbled, minimal talent at skill positions, Flacco looks done
Bills are either starting Josh Allen or AJ McCarron, and that does not bode well
Redskins signed Captain Checkdown and are hinging their running game to a very sketchy guy, defense is average
Seahawks still have one of the better QBs in the league and a solid defense
Texans will have a healthy Watson, a healthy Watt, and a healthy Clowney to start the year. But who knows after that..
49ers were undefeated with Jimmy G and a lot less talent than they have now on offense
Raiders had the exact opposite of the past season - everything went against them. They seem like a .500 team ATM
Broncos lost Talib, but gained Chubb, Keenum, and underrated Royce Freeman. They look to be on the Chiefs level
Dolphins have Tannehill at QB, but do have a solid defense. Still I think their offense is gonna be grim
Cards have an average QB in Bradford (or Rosen), an elite RB, a still great WR, and a very solid defense
Browns added a very TO-averse QB who rarely had good weapons to work with. Now he'll have an elite WR, a good slot guy, and a toolsy TE.

Man, I wish bleacher report did the Vegas odds.

Oh okay. I saw the Post-Draft & Rankings in the title and just kind of assumed it was "Draft ranking". :lol:

Not with Russell Wilson. The defense will be better than people think.

It's funny how much things change in the NFL this year. In hindsight, those power rankings would have been fairly accurate around the top for last year.

But preseason rankings last year on ESPN - Eagles were 15, Vikings were 17, Rams were 27, Jags were 28 and Saints were 23.

Lol at the Ravens & Bills being ranked ahead of us. I think we should be ranked a few spots higher on this list.

Arizona, Denver, Oakland, Houston & the Cowboys are too low on this list.

Feel like the Chargers, Seahawks, Falcons, and to a lesser extent Bears are getting underrated in their own way here. Possibly Houston too.

Easy for you to say. Your team doesn’t suck.

That’s only because they cheat, apparently.
