per the June 16th Sporting News; A) Dolphins ? Lions A-) Giants Seahawks Texans ? B+) Bucs Browns Redskins Cardinals Jaguars B-) Panthers Falcons Jets? Cowboys Bills ? C+) Bengals 49ers Broncos C) Steelers Titans Bears Saints C-) Raiders Eagles? Packers? Rams Ravens D+) Chiefs D) Colts Chagers Vikings? F) Patriots? note: Those w/ question marks, I disagree with.
I'd give the Ravens a B rather than a C-. Without the McNair trade then I would have leaned with the C-.
well i thinkt he Jets should be higher basically cause of such a good draft also they added Dyson and Kimo VO
I definetely agree with the giants ranking I mean they took care of every hole except DT. And I have faith in what they are trying to do in that position. Texans A- WTF?
Ouch an F! Granted we lost several key FAs, but I'd say we had one of the better drafts. Of course only time will tell on that.
Eh...whenever they say a team had a great offseason, it seems to be accompanied with a poor regular season. I'll gladly take the bad grade.

I'm not sure if it's an A.
Bills i would give an F, they lost Lawyer Milloy Mike Williams, and Eric Moulds!! Panthers i would give an A-, they add Keyshawn, Kemoautu, Shaun Williams, Daimone Lewis, Na'll Diggs, Keith Adams, Justin Hartwig. I didnt think the bucs had that great of an offseason. They lost Brian Griese and didnt really sign anybody.
Bills just cut their starting OLG and the trade up to get McCargo was idiotic @ best. Bucs signed David Boston.

BA, you put a ? after the Pack's grade because you didn't agree with it. Do you think it should have been higher or lower?
I'm not sure if GB deserves a C- GB added Ryan Pickett, Charles Woodson, Ben Taylor, Marc Boerigter, and Kenrick Allen. Drafted AJ Hawk and Daryn Colledge who'll both start. Lost Nail Diggs, Robert Thomas, Grady Jackson, and Mike Flaniagan. Granted Woodson is a boom or bust signing but as long as he stays healthy, he's a huge upgrade over Carroll. Pickett is younger and I think better than Jackson. Hawk and Taylor are huge upgrades to the LB core. Flanny was a leader but his skills were diminishing imo. I actually thought Wells outplayed him last year. I think at least a B- for the Pack. I thought our off season was pretty decent.

There's no doubt that the Steelers might be good again this year, but fate has really been working against them since the minute they won the Lombardi. That C grade has probably slipped to a D+, maybe a C-. Take into account Jerome retiring, the loss of Randle El and Chris Hope, the injury to Ben, and Batch's fragility, you could see the Steelers struggle early. Getting nervous. Hopefully Ben recovers quickly and all is right in the world by preseason.
