With the conclusion of the 2025 NFL Draft, it’s time to analyze the transformations across all 32 NFL teams. The New England Patriots, under Mike Vrabel, will have a revamped roster with fresh talent in the running back and wide receiver positions. The Houston Texans have completely reshaped their offensive line and receiving unit, while the Cleveland Browns boast the most intriguing quarterback lineup in the NFL.
The Jacksonville Jaguars made headlines by trading up to the second overall pick for Heisman Trophy winner Travis Hunter. The Las Vegas Raiders introduced new running back Ashton Jeanty and Shane Steichen found a new tight end in Tyler Warren. Meanwhile, top teams like the Buffalo Bills, Baltimore Ravens, and Kansas City Chiefs received favorable draft evaluations from CBS Sports Senior Writer Pete Prisco.
Power Ranking the AFC
The AFC’s landscape has shifted post-draft, especially with No. 1 overall pick Cam Ward, who enters a more advantageous situation than Will Levis. With the additions of Dan Moore Jr. and Kevin Zeitler, Tennessee’s offensive line shows improvement. The team also drafted three offensive weapons: Chimere Dike, Gunnar Helm, and Elic Ayomanor.
Cleveland Browns: A New Direction
The Browns’ decision to draft Mason Graham instead of Travis Hunter is disappointing, but they’ve revamped their running back lineup with Quinshon Judkins and Dylan Sampson. Additionally, drafting two quarterbacks, Dillon Gabriel and Shedeur Sanders, raises questions about their quarterback strategy moving forward.
Looking Ahead for the Jaguars
Excitement surrounds the Jaguars after trading up for top draft talent. They secured versatile defensive back Caleb Ransaw and one of the quickest running backs, Bhayshul Tuten. With Trevor Lawrence staying healthy and Hunter meeting his potential, they are set to improve from their past season.
A Look at the Raiders
For the Raiders, acquiring quarterback Geno Smith signals a shift in focus. While he improves upon what Aidan O’Connell provided, Smith faces a challenge with less talent in the wide receiver department compared to his previous team. The Raiders did bolster their lineup with rookies Jack Bech and Dont’e Thornton Jr.
