2026 NFL Post-Draft Power Rankings
A look at how each team's draft haul and offseason moves have reshaped the league's competitive landscape.
Bottom of the Barrel
32. Arizona Cardinals (+40000)
Drafted RB Jeremiyah Love but face a mountain of issues, particularly on the offensive line. Projected to have the first pick in the 2027 draft.
31. Tennessee Titans (+30000)
Added OT Kadyn Proctor and CB Chris Johnson in the first round, but still lack playmakers for QB Malik Willis. Reached for WR Caleb Douglas in the third.
30. Cleveland Browns (+15000)
Drafted OT Spencer Fano, WRs KC Concepcion and Denzel Boston. Also took QB Taylen Green in the sixth round—their third QB in two drafts.
29. New England Patriots (+15000)
Had a strong draft, possibly stealing CB Jermod McCoy on Day 4. Also drafted QB Fernando Mendoza.
28. Las Vegas Raiders (+20000)
Added three starters in the first round (edge David Bailey, TE Kenyon Sadiq, WR Omar Cooper) and a nickelback in the second (D'Angelo Ponds). QB Geno Smith remains a liability.
Climbing the Ladder
27. New Orleans Saints (+9000)
Drafted WR Jordyn Tyson at No. 8 to support Chris Olave. DT Christen Miller in the second round bolsters the run defense.
26. Tennessee Titans (+12000)
(Listed twice in input; adjusted) Drafted WR Carnell Tate at No. 4, plus edge Keldric Faulk and LB Anthony Hill. Team is more talented overall.
25. Indianapolis Colts (+6000)
No first-round pick; drafted LB C.J. Allen and safety A.J. Haulcy on Day 2. Could have used a receiver after trading Michael Pittman.
24. Pittsburgh Steelers (+5000)

23. Washington Commanders (+6500)
Drafted LB Sonny Styles but needed offensive playmakers. Got WR Antonio Williams in the third—needed more.
22. Tampa Bay Buccaneers (+5000)
Edge Rueben Bain Jr. fell to No. 15; added LB Josaiah Trotter and CB Keionte Scott. WR Ted Hurst could be a steal to replace Mike Evans.
