What Every NFL Team Needs To Do for 2025
"Levis' aforementioned mediocre 2024 campaign and the potential absence of free agent Mason Rudolph leaves the Titans with the league's third-fewest 2025 dollars devoted to the position.
Fantasy Life NFL Draft analysts Thor Nystrom and Matthew Freedman understand this and accordingly have the Titans utilizing the NFL Draft's No. 1 overall pick on the position:
Sam Darnold is the crown jewel of the otherwise meh free agent QB class; it'd be shocking if the Titans don't have new QB competition on the roster by the end of day two of the NFL Draft at the very latest."
"It's almost remarkable how Cleveland has managed to churn through one horrendous QB after another over the past two seasons.
EPA per dropback among 50 qualified QBs in 2023-24 seasons:
- Jameis Winston (-0.033, 36th)
- Deshaun Watson (-0.143, 46th)
- Dorian Thompson-Robinson (-0.309, 49th)
- Bailey Zappe (-0.323, 50th)
Sadly, their aforementioned porous decision to trade for Watson leaves them with the league's second-most expensive QB room ahead of 2025. Maybe they can finagle their way out of his contract depending on how and when he suffered his re-aggravation.
Either way, the Browns are certainly candidates to use the draft's No. 2 overall pick on the position and perhaps sign a veteran. Kevin Stefanski's former pal Kirk Cousins would make a lot of sense considering his ability to take a cheap deal while the Falcons continue to pay him all kinds of guaranteed money."
"The tackles are actually in a fairly good spot with stud Andrew Thomas anchoring the left side and former first-rounder Evan Neal performing fine enough on the right side.
Things get a bit more problematic up the middle:
- G Jon Runyan: 64th among 83 qualified guards in overall PFF grade
- G Greg Van Roten (free agent): 45th
- C John Michael Schmitz: 30th among 43 qualified centers
Giants guards and centers allowed the league's sixth-most total pressures last season; shoring up the interior of their offensive line will both help the run game and whoever winds up starting at QB."
"Patriots WRs and TEs ranked 31st in average "Open Score" last season. Translation: Separation didn't come easy to anyone, so restocking the WR room is a must. Hell, adding another TE isn't the worst idea in the world either considering Hunter Henry isn't exactly a spring chicken these days (turned 30 in December), although his three-year, $30 million extension last March reflects the reality that New England is probably good there.
But yeah, Patriots WRs ranked dead last in receiving yards (1,723) last season–the sixth-lowest single-season mark among any offense since 2020. Whether it's chasing Tee Higgins, or devoting multiple high-end draft picks to the position in the draft—let's get Maye some actual elite talent on the outside and see what happens."
