Post mini-camp NFL Power Rankings
#1
Looks like the big question mark for Minnesota is at QB.  No surprise, there.  The rest of our roster is pretty darn solid and they notate that. 
From Pro Football Talk this morning.
===

1. Eagles: The rich get richer. And a new dynasty could be emerging.

2. Chiefs: A Super Bowl loss will only make the Chiefs more determined to get another Super Bowl win.

3. Bills: The window is still wide open, but the Chiefs are still blocking full daylight.

4. Ravens: The window is still wide open, but the Bills and Chiefs are still blocking full daylight.

5. Lions: This year, the regular season will be harder. Which could make them better prepared for the playoffs.

6. Commanders: Have they done enough to close the gap with the Eagles?

7. Rams: A favorable schedule could put them in play for the No. 1 seed.

8. Texans: After two straight appearances in the final eight, they opted to make major changes in an effort to go farther.

9. Buccaneers: Arguably the most underrated team in the entire league, they have the talent to compete with anyone.

10. Broncos: Combining a Sean Payton offense with an improved defense could make things very interesting in the AFC West.

11. Packers: With a new CEO taking over, the pressure could slowly be building on the quarterback, the coach, and the General Manager.

12. Vikings: A proven roster with an unproven quarterback could make for a rollercoaster of a season.

13. 49ers: Don’t be surprised if they rebound all the way to the NFC Championship, and possibly beyond.

14. Bengals: The front office continues to keep the team from being everything it can be.

15. Chargers: In most other divisions, they’d be the favorites to win it.

16. Steelers: They’re going to skew one way, or the other.

17. Bears: The expectations are high again. Can they live up to them?

18. Seahawks: The Geno-for-Darnold swap was a bold one.

19. Cowboys: If they gave out Super Bowls for mismanaging the contracts of key players, they’d have more trophies than anyone.

20. Cardinals: There’s a quiet vibe that they might be ready to contend. They’ll have to prove it on the field.

21. Patriots: It’s not crazy to think they can vault to the playoffs.

22. Jets: Even if Aaron Glenn can pull off a Lions-style culture change, it will take a little time.

23. Falcons: Michael Penix Jr. looked good in limited work last year. What will he do as the full-time starter?

24. Colts: Will the Daniel Jones era be a one-year thing, or a new beginning for him and the Colts?

25. Panthers: It’s a huge year for Bryce Young.

26. Titans: Cam Ward could be the guy they need. If so, they’ll rocket up this list once the games start.

27. Raiders: They’re stuck behind three playoff teams in their division — and each of them look like they’re ready to get there again.

28. Jaguars: Can Trevor Lawrence get back to what it once looked like he was becoming?

29. Dolphins: What have they done to get better than they were in 2024?

30. Giants: If the Giants got it right with Jaxson Dart, he should be able to win the Week 1 starting job.

31. Saints: Tyler Shough will need to be the real deal in order to keep them from being in position to have their pick of next year’s quarterback crop.

32. Browns: It’s almost like they try to come up with new ways to be dysfunctional.

I think its probably fair as it stands right now. JJM is the X-factor. I think the Texans are a major projection, I don't see them being in the top 12 teams, certainly not #8. Buccaneers and Broncos? A little high IMO.

I agree about the Texans
Bills are #2 on my list
Bengals are way too low
In my mind, the Raiders are going to be league, middle of the pack when the dust settles
Packers at 11 is about the right zip code
Dallas is hard to predict imo, there is lots of talent on that roster
Vikings are hard to predict as well. I think 12 is too high with zero regular season starts from their QB

Eagles still have a very strong roster and I have no problem with them at #1, but how did the rich get richer? They lost starters Josh Sweat, Milton Williams, Darius Slay, Chauncey Gardner-Johnson, and Mekhi Becton. They'll also have a new OC and playcaller. It's Sirianni's offense, but there could be an adjustment period.

plus their schedule at the beginning and end is tough, as you'd expect with the SB Champs...

Two of their last 3 are vs Commanders. Thats the elite match-up in the NFCE these days, not the Cowboys.

Seems like everyone in the top 15 are favorites to win the superbowl.

The hype I've been reading and rolling my eyes on the last month or so you'd think 32 teams are favorites.  Rolleyes
