LOS ANGELES — Alrighty. We’re about a month removed from the 2022 NFL Draft and most of the big free agency moves and trades have taken place around the NFL this offseason, so now it’s time to look at what we’re left with, across the board.
On the Peacock and Williamson NFL Show, a Locked On podcast, NFL analysts Brian Peacock and Matt Williamson discussed all 32 NFL teams, dividing them by conference and then power ranking each conference.
Some teams ranked at the bottom, especially in the NFC, are a bit shocking, until you evaluate how their teams have been decimated this offseason.
On the two shows (one for NFC, one for AFC), Williamson and Peacock explain all the reasons for the rankings and debate on ones they disagree with. Find the Peacock and Williamson podcast wherever you get your favorite shows!
