Ranking of AFC teams after the NFL draft in 2025: Ravens Edge Chiefs for first place; Cam Ward not enough for the titans

Now that the 2025 NFL draft concluded that we can start examining how all 32 NFL teams have changed in recent months. Mike Truebel's New England Patriots Are Going To Look very Different in 2025 With New Weapons at Running Back and Wide Receiver, The Houston Texans Have Complety Revampered Their Offensive Line and Wide Receiving Corps While The Cleveland Browns Have Put Together The Most Nfl.

The Jacksonville jaguars were aggressive and exchanged until No. 2 in total for the winner of Heisman Trophy, Travis Hunter, Las Vegas raiders have a new ball carrier at Ashton Jeanty and Shane Steichen found a new TE1 in Tyler Warren. Some of the best teams in Nfl also had major projects, such as the Buffalo Bills, the Ravens of Baltimore and the chiefs of the city of Kansas Grades received At least a “b +” on their features, according to CBS Sports Nfl The main writer Pete Prisco.

Let us try to classify the AFC now that the free agency and the project are behind us.

N ° 1 Pick Pick Cam Ward probably goes into a better situation than Will Levis. The offensive line should be better with the additions of Dan Moore Jr. and Kevin Zeitler, then Tennessee wrote three weapons with consecutive choices: Chimere Dike, Gunnar Helm and Elic Ayomanor. Also keep in mind that Tennessee brings the receiver of all the time from Miami, Xavier Restrepo, as a free agent not drafted to find Ward, and Tyler Lockett is now in the fold too. I still have concerns about the rushing group and the endois sneed out -of -farBut Mike Borgonzi was busy laying the foundations for what this team wants to look like.

15. Cleveland Browns

Back with Mason Graham instead of Travis Hunter is disappointing, but Cleveland has established a new room on the back with Quinshon Judkins and Dylan Sampson. The Browns of course also wrote two quarters to Dillon Gabriel and Shedeur Sanders, which was one of the most confusing aspects of the Cleveland draft. We all thought that Kirk Cousins ​​was on the way, but now that the Browns have Joe Flacco, Kenny Pickett, two recruits and the wounded Deshaun Watson, what is the probability? Who plays the quarter of a team in 2025?

14. Jacksonville Jaguars

James Gladstone enthroned me by the Jaguars to move forward. They exchanged for the best draft player, selected a versatile defensive back at Caleb Ransaw out of Tulane and chose one of the fastest runners in this class with Bhashul Tuten. If Trevor Lawrence can remain healthy and Hunter may live up to his reputation as Biletnikoff, the Jaguars will certainly be better than 4-13 in 2025.

The jets had in mind Justin Fields when they started the draft with the right tackle Armand Membou and the tight winger Mason Taylor. In the end, the 2025 Jets season really depends on this new quarter. I have the faith that Aaron Glenn will have the defense ready to ride, so it is in Fields, Garrett Wilson, Breece Hall and the new youth pieces on the offensive line with regard to the jets competition.

12. Raiders of Las Vegas

The most important decision that the raids have taken this offseason were to negotiate the quarter-Arrière Geno Smith and give it a salary increase. It is better than what Aidan O'Connell and Gardner Minshew provided in Vegas, but Smith also experiences a downside of the wide receptors – ranging from DK Metcalf, Lockett and Jaxon Smith -Migba to Jakobi Meyers and Tre Tucker. That said, maybe recruits Jack Bech and Don'e Thornton Jr. can intensify. He also has the tight star Brock Bowers to throw. In addition, it will be requested from a global choice n ° 6 to run Jeanty. Defensively, an eye on Malcolm Koonce in front of Maxx Crosby. He spread the franchise after missing all last season due to a torn LCA.

The colts aimed to repair the secondary with the additions of Camryn bynum and Charvarius Ward in the free agency, but the big addition was the tight end Warren. With versatile safety coverage like Warren, Anthony Richardson's life will be facilitated. Seeing Sam Darnold and Baker Mayfield, after leaving bad situations, I will reserve a judgment on Jones. With more consistency at the quarter and improved defense, how good do the colts be good?

10. Patriots of New England

Patriots have undergone a more dramatic transformation than maybe any other NFL team. Drake Maye has a few new offensive lines with Will Campbell, Garrett Bradbury and Morgan Moses, new talented targets to throw in Stefon Diggs and Kyle Williams, then a new ball carrier in Treveyon Henderson. The “new” does not stop there, because Mike Vrabel added pieces at three levels of his defense, with players like Milton Williams, Harold Landry, Robert Spillane and Carlton Davis III. I would be excited as a fan of patriots.

Vibrations are not really great in Miami. Jalen Ramsey is probably out, and Tyreek Hill did not have the perfect off -season either. Will 2025 be different from other years in the Mike McDaniel era? I'm sure Miami will beat the contenders with Tua Tagovailoa under the center and will lose games if he is injured again. One thing I'm going to say about the dolphins is that they did a great job to address the project trenches. Kenneth Grant of Michigan next to Zach Sieler could be fun, Jonah Savaiaea stimulates the interior of the offensive line, then Jordan Phillips outside Maryland adds an interior writing capacity.

Again, it is difficult to judge the Steelers because we do not know who will play the quarter-tree. Will it be Aaron Rodgers, or … Will Howard? Derrick Harmon will have an immediate impact for Teryl Austin, Kaleb Johnson will have the opportunity to replace Najee Harris and Jack Sawyer is a funny perspective. Pittsburgh has a few pieces here, but I want to know who is launching the ball at Metcalf and George Pickens.

7. Texans of Houston

Maybe Houston's offensive line will not be a total disaster with Aireontae Ersery replacing Laremy Tunsil on the left side. I would have used another choice on the offensive line, but Houston can now have one of the most interesting reception bodies in the league. The big body Jayden Higgins reminded certain assessors of Nico Collins and Jaylin Noel is a good road runner who could fulfill the role of Tank Dell in 2025. In fact, the biggest question I have on Texans is the way in which Nick Caméy's offensive will look like. However, I have the rehearsal of Houston as division champions.

Jim Harbaugh entered and brought the charge 5-12 to 11-6, but there is no doubt that this offense should be better. Managing Director Joe Hortiz used his first two choices in the draft on the offensive side of the ball with Omarion Hampton and Tre Harris. Hampton and Harris could be a fun punch, then Harris is a legitimate limit player who will help in the game of passes.

Cincinnati has found a way to maintain Ja'Marr Chase and Tee Higgins under contract, but the situation of Trey Hendrickson is still in the air. Remember that it was this defense that prevented Joe Burrow from the playoffs. Has it improved? The overall choice n ° 17 Shemar Stewart is a sports player, but recorded only 4.5 bags out of three seasons. Then, the choice of second round Demetrius Knight Jr. is a former quarter-arre that strikes the bullet holders as if he hates their family. These are two players that Cincinnati hopes can have immediate impacts, but has it done enough?

I am at the top of the broncos that enter this season. Bo Nix had a fantastic recruit year, and now he has RJ Harvey and Evan Engram with whom to work. Could Denver have done more offensively? Of course, but this defense can be incredible. Talanoa Hufanga, Dre Greenlaw and Jahdae Barron were excellent microphones, and this unit was incredibly aggressive last year, classifying the first five in the bags (63), the pressure percentage (40%) and the percentage of Blitz (37%). Many reasons to be enthusiastic about Denver to move forward.

3. Buffle bills

I will not “slut” on the situation of the broader receiver of the invoices because I do not want Brandon Beane to shout me on itBut I am surprised that they waited for n ° 240 in total to take a large. Buffalo was clearly defense in mind, because the front office used its first five choices on this side of the ball. The Maxwell Hairston Coin Half should start immediately, then TJ Sanders, Landon Jackson and the 6 -inch DEONE Walker 7 inches are additions welcomed in the trenches since Michael Hoecht and Larry Ogunjobi will miss the time due to the suspension. Regarding the situation of the wide receiver, perhaps Joshua Palmer flourishes as a threat of perimeter and Elijah Moore is an interesting addition.

2. Kansas City Chiefs

The chiefs are a lasting competitor of the AFC, but I really liked the project of this team. Josh Simmons at No. 32 in total would have been much higher without the knee injury, but it was not the only high level choice of Brett Veach. Omarr Norman-Lott in the second round is an interior passenger player who I want to see playing Chris Jones, the Large Royals of Utah State could be the theft of the draft and the Ballon Ball Ball Balls Smith is an explosive playmaker.

1. Baltimore Ravens

The RAVENS recovery is actually a reason why I have them n ° 1 on the chiefs and the invoices of these post-DRAFT power rankings. Baltimore found a way to maintain the left platform Ronnie Stanley, then signed Deandre Hopkins in a free agency, but also wrote the best security of this class with Malaki Starks at n ° 27 in total, then found a talent in the first round in Mike Green in n ° 59 in total – which led the FBS with 17 bags last season. Baltimore also made three sixth round choices that I liked: the Bilhal Kone corner half, which has a long length, the defensive line player Aeneas Peebles, who has a high engine, and the corner of the Robert Longbeam location.
