Things have changed quite a bit, but that’s ok! That’s kinda the point. These periodic offseason rankings are, as I said in my first edition, a “snapshot” into the NFL-verse at this very moment in time. This is the first iteration of my 2026 rankings that include rookies, and that’s without landing spots. Come April 23, there’s gonna be another drastic shakeup. (That’s the NFL Draft, just in case you weren’t aware).
So how do these help you? Well, players will be forgotten about if they land in the wrong spot, and undeservedly hyped up when they land in the right one (here’s looking at you, CEH). It’s incredibly valuable to be able to look back at how they were viewed pre-draft, which can help avoid some landmines and identify the fallers who are really late-round gems.
