Final NFL Power Rankings (01/07)

32. Tennessee Titans (3-14)

The Titans finished the season with the #1 overall pick in the NFL draft. They will have time to do their homework on the top 2 quarterbacks in the draft Cam Ward and Shedeur Sanders.

31. Cleveland Browns (3-14)

The Browns finished the season with the #2 overall pick, if they are willing to settle on whoever does not go number 1 in the draft they can take a quarterback. Otherwise Travis Hunter, Will Campbell, or Abdul Carter make sense for them to take.

30. New York Giants (3-14)

The Giants were in the driver seat for the #1 overall pick before Drew Lock had the performance of the year and beat the Colts. The Giants are desperate for a QB and could make a play for one of the top two picks to secure one.

29. New England Patriots (4-13)

The Patriots are coming off their worst year in the 2000s and have just fired Jerod Mayo, Mike Vrabel is the presumed favorite to take the head coaching job there.

28. Jacksonville Jaguars (4-13)

After an abysmal season for the Jaguars, they fired head coach Doug Pederson. They are tasked with hiring a head coach who can elevate Trevor Lawrence back to the level he was playing at in 2023.

27. Las Vegas Raiders (4-13)

The Raiders do not have the greatest draft position to take a quarterback, but they could make a move into the top 3 to secure one. Regardless they have a talented young playmaker to celebrate this year in Brock Bowers who was the best tight end in football.

26. New York Jets (5-12)

The New York Jets will have a completely new look next year with a new head coach and quarterback under center. It is very possible players such as Garrett Wilson and DJ Reed are not back next year as well.

25. Carolina Panthers (5-12)

The Panthers finished on a high note beating division rival Atlanta and keeping them out of the playoffs. Head coach Dave Canales is happy to see he has a quarterback to build around this offseason.

24. New Orleans Saints (5-12)

The Saints have a tough rebuild for whoever their next head coach is. They are rumored to be interested in Miami Dolphins defensive coordinator Anthony Weaver.

23. Chicago Bears (5-12)

Chicago is also rumored to be interested in Miami Dolphins defensive coordinator Anthony Weaver. It would be wise for them to go after an offensive mind who can get the most out of their #1 overall pick Caleb Williams however, maybe his old college coach Lincoln Riley would be a nice pick?

22. San Francisco 49ers (6-11)

The 49ers endured a season from hell due to injuries. All of the 49ers key pieces, including their quarterback, dealt with injuries keeping them from going on a run. The 49ers will likely be looking at the top offensive tackles in an offensive line heavy draft this April.

21. Dallas Cowboys (7-10)

The Cowboys stayed competitive despite Dak Prescott missing the back half of the season. They will return a good core of players on both sides of the ball and should get back to having a winning season.

20. Miami Dolphins (8-9)

The Dolphins also played what felt like the most meaningless season for their organization for the last 5 years. Tyreek Hill looks like he will be playing for a different franchise next year, and to be honest I think that is a good thing. Mike McDaniel is tasked with serious culture building during this offseason.

19. Indianapolis Colts (8-9)

The Colts through quarterback inconsistencies were in the playoff race late, they would be wise to load up the offense even more to see if Anthony Richardson can make it as a quarterback in this league.

18. Atlanta Falcons (8-9)

Atlanta had a solid first year under new head coach Raheem Morris. He should grow from his experiences as a coach and return with an even better roster in year two.

17. Arizona Cardinals (8-9)

The Cardinals were right in playoff contention this year, the Cardinals front office needs to get head coach Jonathan Gannon some dudes on defense to get the most out of his system.

16. Cincinnati Bengals (9-8)

In a crazy season for the Bengals, it ends in them not being able to make the playoffs. Defensive coordinator Lou Anarumo was recently fired, and I am not completely sure if that is a great move. He did not have much to work with on his side of the ball.

15. Seattle Seahawks (10-7)

Congratulations Seattle, you finished as the best team to not make the playoffs. All in all it was a good season for first year head coach Mike MacDonald.

14. Denver (10-7)

Denver was able to take care of business against the Chiefs JV squad to make the playoffs. I expect them to lose their first round matchup against Buffalo in Orchard Park.

13. Houston Texans (10-7)

This Texans team is flawed and is coming off an up and down season. I do expect them to lose to the Chargers in their first round matchup.

12. Pittsburgh Steelers (10-7)

Mike Tomlin once again finished over .500, but it is a fair prediction to expect them to get beat by the Baltimore Ravens in round 1. At some point the Steelers need to figure out a way to expand their ceiling of a first round exit in the NFL playoffs.

11. Tampa Bay Buccaneers (10-7)

Baker Mayfield is playing the best football of his life and the Bucs clinched a playoff berth with a win over the Saints.

10. Los Angeles Rams (10-7)

The Rams won their division with good defense and a solid offensive system. First year defensive coordinator Chris Shula is an up and coming NFL coach who should get looks at head coaching vacancies soon.

9. Los Angeles Chargers (11-6)

Jim Harbaugh established a great culture in year 1 for LA when they desperately needed one. We will now see if they have the goods to make a deep playoff run.

8. Green Bay Packers (11-6)

If Jordan Love is healthy and ready to go, this Packers team is the dark horse to watch out for in this NFL playoff bracket.

7. Washington Commanders (12-5)

Dan Quinn set his expectations high with the Commanders this year and it worked out. He did a great job with his squad and the Washington offense was exciting to watch.

6. Baltimore Ravens (12-5)

Baltimore will have to go through potentially Buffalo and Kansas City just to get to the superbowl, can Lamar beat the choking allegations this year?

5. Minnesota Vikings (14-3)

The Vikings get a wildcard spot due to the NFC North being the best division the NFL has seen in a long time, they will have a tough road ahead of them to get to the superbowl.

4. Philadelphia Eagles (14-3)

The Eagles have the best weapon in football right now in Saquan Barkley and a ridiculously good team outside of him as well. They get a tough first round matchup in Green Bay, a rematch from week 1 of the NFL season.

3. Buffalo Bills (13-4)

Josh Allen is the presumed MVP of the NFL and is playing his best football ever, it is up to him to put the team on his back if he wants to bring Buffalo their first ever superbowl ring.

2. Kansas City Chiefs (15-2)

Kansas City rested essentially everyone and got steamrolled by Denver. Their starters will have a 24 day break from the last time they played, hopefully they are ready to go for it.

1. Detroit Lions (15-2)

The Lions got the job done against the Minnesota Vikings in order to secure the 1 seed in the NFC and win the North. They will have many fans in America behind them, this feels like a team of destiny.
