NFL Teams: Who's Hot and Who's Not After the 2025 Draft

USASun Apr 27 2025
The 2025 NFL Draft has wrapped up, and the landscape of the league has shifted. Teams have bolstered their rosters, and some are looking stronger than ever. The Philadelphia Eagles are sitting pretty, with a solid foundation, especially up front. They've got the muscle to handle the loss of a few key players. The Baltimore Ravens are gearing up to give Lamar Jackson more options on the field. With new additions, they're set to make some noise. The Buffalo Bills, led by MVP Josh Allen, have the luxury of infusing fresh talent into their defense early and often. The Kansas City Chiefs, with Patrick Mahomes and Andy Reid still at the helm, are looking strong, especially with WR Rashee Rice back in the mix. The Los Angeles Rams have a formidable offense, with Matthew Stafford throwing to Puka Nakua and Davante Adams. Their defense is also shaping up nicely. The Detroit Lions are returning a scary offense, but they'll miss their coordinators. The Washington Commanders have made some big moves, with Jayden Daniels getting some serious protection and Deebo Samuel taking some heat off Terry McLaurin. The Houston Texans have some new faces, but their offensive line might need to step up. The Tampa Bay Buccaneers have added Emeka Egbuka to their receiving corps, which is already stacked with Mike Evans and Chris Godwin. The Green Bay Packers have given Jordan Love a vertical threat with Matthew Golden, complementing Jayden Reed. The Denver Broncos are entering their second season with Bo Nix and Sean Payton, and they've added some firepower. The Los Angeles Chargers have given Justin Herbert a new sidekick in Tre Harris, and their running back situation is looking good. The Arizona Cardinals have fortified their defense, which is a smart move with Kyler Murray at the helm. The Cincinnati Bengals have a solid receiving corps, but they might need to make a trade to keep things interesting. The Pittsburgh Steelers are banking on Aaron Rodgers and D. K. Metcalf, but it's still a big "if. " The Chicago Bears have upgraded their offensive line and added some weapons for Caleb Williams. The Seattle Seahawks have made some moves to protect Sam Darnold and bolster their defense. The Minnesota Vikings have upgraded their offensive line and have a quarterback-friendly group of weapons, but J. J. McCarthy will have some growing pains. The San Francisco 49ers are looking to bounce back, but they'll need a healthy Christian McCaffrey and a defense that overachieves. The Dallas Cowboys have some stars, but they'll need to avoid the pitfalls that have tripped them up in the past. The Atlanta Falcons have added some juice to their pass rush, but their offense will be at the mercy of Michael Penix Jr. The Las Vegas Raiders are in a tough division, but they've made some moves to stay competitive. The New England Patriots have added some playmakers, but it's still a big "if" with Drake Maye. The Jacksonville Jaguars are hoping that new head coach Liam Coen can get the best out of Trevor Lawrence. The Indianapolis Colts have upgraded their secondary and added a security blanket for their quarterbacks. The New York Giants have added some pass rush, but they'll need to squeeze whatever is left out of Russell Wilson. The New York Jets have made some moves, but Justin Fields needs more than Garrett Wilson. The Cleveland Browns have a lot of quarterbacks, but it's still a big "if" with Joe Flacco, Kenny Pickett, Dillon Gabriel and Shedeur Sanders. The Miami Dolphins have some big names, but they might need to make some trades. The Carolina Panthers have added some targets for Bryce Young, but their defense is lacking. The Tennessee Titans have some targets for Cam Ward, but it's still a big "if" with their receiving corps. The New Orleans Saints have a lot of questions, especially at quarterback and on defense.
