Favre4Ever+ 4,476 Posted June 13, 2015 (edited) This comes from TGP-Darling Pro Football Focus, but done for / through ESPN. They gave a reasoning,Top 5 players, and Players that Should be Starters as well, if anyone wants those I can grab them for you. (The article is ESPN Insider only)http://espn.go.com/nfl/insider/story/_/id/13046017/seattle-seahawks-top-ranking-rosters-all-32-teams-nfl For the second year in a row, we are ranking the entire rosters of each team in the NFL for ESPN. We got together PFF's analysts and ran through the data, composing a ranking that incorporated our grading as well as football evaluation for added context -- allowing us, for example, to reward teams that have an excellent quarterback situation but a relative hole along the defensive line when it came to run defense. We have collected the number of elite or high-quality players each team can count among its starters (for these purposes we gave each team a starting side of 12 on each side of the ball to reflect both base and nickel/third-down defense), and you will see those figures in the chart at the bottom of the page. Here is our 1-32 ranking of every roster in the NFL. The team at the top remainsthe same from a year ago, but nearly every other franchise made moves up or down the list. 1. Seattle 2 Green Bay 3. Baltimore 4. New England 5. Denver 6. Philadelphia 7. Detroit 8. Minnesota 9. Cincinnati 10. New Orleans 11. Dallas 12. Pittsburgh 13. Indianapolis 14. Cleveland 15. Buffalo 16. Carolina 17. San Francisco 18. San Diego 19. Kansas City 20. NY Giants21. NY Jets 22. St. Louis 23. Miami 24. Arizona 25. Chicago 26. Houston 27. Washington 28. Oakland 29. Tampa Bay 30. Tennessee 31. Atlanta 32. Jacksonville Edited June 13, 2015 by Favre4Ever Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
BC 331 Posted June 13, 2015 (edited) Cardinals, Chargers, Falcons, not seeing how they are so low. And Minny, Cleveland, Philly not sure why they're loved on so hard. Edited June 13, 2015 by BC Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

FartWaffles 1,857 Posted June 13, 2015 (edited) Overrated New Orleans Philadelphia Cleveland Minnesota Underrated Arizona St. Louis Miami Houston Just my two cents. That list is pretty head-scratching to me. Edited June 13, 2015 by FartWaffles 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
BwareDWare94 723 Posted June 13, 2015 New Orleans is definitely overrated, and Minnesota's unproven OL holds them down even though they have studs across their defense (Griffin, Barr, Smith, Rhodes). I dunno. My Vikings are such a dark horse team this year. I'm excited but I'm holding that excitement down a bit, too. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

seanbrock 1,684 Posted June 14, 2015 Eagles are overrated, but I could see them living up to their ranking. Everything would have to go their way though. When does that ever happen though? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

FartWaffles 1,857 Posted June 14, 2015 What's with Houston being so low? Only justifiable reason I could see for that is the lack of a solid quarterback, but even with that they are way too low IMO. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Favre4Ever+ 4,476 Posted June 14, 2015 (edited) Analysis: Any time you have a quarterback competition between Hoyer and Mallett, your roster has at least one major hole -- and unfortunately it is at the most important position. The offense has significant depth concerns across the board. On defense, Watt remains the best player in football, and Vince Wilfork can still play good snaps next to him at nose tackle. If the Texans give Wilfork more of a situational role, he may even improve with the added rest. The future of Jadeveon Clowney, who's coming off microfracture surgery, is still very much in the air. When healthy, he's an undeniable talent. Edited June 14, 2015 by Favre4Ever Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
FartWaffles 1,857 Posted June 14, 2015 If that's their case for putting Houston at #26, then I guess O'Brien and his coaching staff is just really damn good. Barring any major injuries there's no reason to think that the Texans can't at the very least finish 8-8 or better this coming season. If Mallett or Hoyer even play halfway decent the Texans have a good enough roster to be in Wildcard contention, much like they were last season. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Dutch 874 Posted June 14, 2015 (edited) Seattle undoubtedly has the best roster from top to bottom and got even more lethal with the addition of Jimmy Graham, I think the Ravens roster overall is better than the Packers for #2. One thing about the Ravens imo, they've always had an extremely balanced team on both sides of the ball. Ozzie is the man... As far as my Eagles, our potential "could" be #6 but it's a big "if" considering health and if everything pans out. I like where the Vikings are at. I honestly believe they have the potential to do great this year. I love their roster and love overall what Zimmer is doing with the team. The Vikes did solid last year with a rookie QB and no running game. They get back Adrian Peterson, they acquired Mike Wallace (and teams will have 8 in the box for A.P while Wallace will stretch the field), with Cordarrelle Patterson who can still be a threat if they figure out how to get the ball in his hands (because he can't run routes) and Rudolph. And they also have some very young promising players on the defensive side with Barr and Xavier Rhodes who is playing like one of the top corners in the league. I like their chances. I agree with New Orleans being overrated. They should straight up be switched with the Cardinals who have a very solid roster and getting Darryl Washington back. St Louis and Miami are too low as well. Edited June 15, 2015 by Dutch 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Hey now, that's not the only thing Bortles is really good at. He's also incredible at throwing 1 yard outs on 3rd and long. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
