No. 29 Panthers No. 28 Jets(Grant Thomas/Yahoo Sports )A 3-14 season was a wake-up call. The Tennessee Titans not only was up to the bottom of the NFL, they moved deep into obscurity. Tennessee was truly awful but besides routine Will Levis memes and first-year head coach Brian Callahan’s outward hostility toward Levis, nobody cared. They had no identity, no valuable star, a decayed lineup and only one hope for the future.That hope was
the first pick of the draft. The Titans might have traded that choice or taken Travis Hunter or Abdul Carter, but they knew the best course back to importance was hitting on a pick at quarterback. That’s why Webcam Ward, who set an NCAA record with 158 touchdown passes at Incarnate Word, Washington State and then Miami, is a Titan.Advertisement There’s a long method to go and Ward
won’t fix all of that. There were a few bright areas on the lineup– Jeffery Simmons is a star on the protective line, 2024 novices DT T’Vondre Sweat and CB Jarvis Brownlee Jr. had appealing launchings, Tony Pollard and Calvin Ridley had 1,000-yard seasons in a bad scenario– but reconstructing will take a while. If Ward hits, a minimum of that’s a start.(Grant Thomas/Yahoo Sports)The prepare for the Saints always appeared to be
that when Drew Brees retired, there would be an overall teardown. That actually didn’t happen. It still hasn’t took place four years after Brees ‘last game. The Saints weren’t recklessly aggressive as normal this offseason, however didn’t blow things up and didn’t make moves that would show they have the self awareness to understand they must remain in a reconstruct. They still have a terrible 2026 cap circumstance and one of the earliest lineups in the NFL. Even a brutal 15-game stretch to end the season didn’t require them into dealing with reality.Maybe it needs to get even worse for the Saints to realize they’re at rock bottom.
And it might. Kellen Moore is a novice head coach and he does not step into an excellent circumstance. Derek Carr retired and while he wasn’t fantastic for New Orleans, the staying quarterback service is probably second-round choice Tyler Shough, a curious choice for a fading group considering he’ll turn 26 years old in September. The surrounding cast has some recognizable names who have actually had great careers but is brief on stars who are still in their prime. The Saints’only blue-chip player under 28 years old may be receiver Chris Olave, however he hasn’t played a complete season in the NFL due to four verified concussions.Advertisement New Orleans has reached a point in which a dreadful season is the best outcome. It would be a wake-up call and maybe cause a franchise-changing quarterback. Like the first two games last season, the Saints’ idea that they can turn things around doing things the same old way appears to be nothing but a mirage. (Grant Thomas/Yahoo Sports)The Cleveland Browns were the last to understand that Deshaun Watson was among the NFL’s worst quarterbacks. It had to be cathartic for Browns fans to hear owner Jimmy Haslam say the group” took a huge swing and miss out on with Deshaun.”Everyone else understood that long back. The Browns were in deep denial.Advertisement An essential choice at the top of the draft was the informal start of improving the roster. The Browns handed down the opportunity to draft Travis Hunter second total to get a substantial haul from the Jacksonville Jaguars in a trade. It consisted of the 5th overall choice and the Jags’first-round choice next year. It needed to be difficult to give up Hunter, however it was most likely the best move.The big part of the rebuild will be finding out quarterback, and the Browns are taking a shotgun approach to it this year. They have four fairly low-cost quarterbacks and are praying one is the response. Joe Flacco is the 40-year-old stopgap, Kenny Pickett is the improvement
task, Dillon Gabriel was the novice the Browns drafted proactively in the 3rd round, and Shedeur Sanders is the fifth-round choice everyone wishes to discuss. If Sanders climbs up from fourth on the depth chart and begins any games this season, the Browns unexpectedly will become one of the most watched teams in the league.The process starts over. Hopefully for Cleveland it’s not as long and hard as the last one, and with some favorable results this time.( Grant Thomas/Yahoo Sports)After being benched previously in the season, Bryce Young got another shot to start in Week 8 and appeared like a brand-new player. He may not have played to the level you ‘d imagine for a first total choice, however he was much better. By the time he set up 251 backyards and 3 goals(among which he completed with a positive look-away event with the ball in the air) in
a season-ending win at the Atlanta Falcons, it seemed like a new world from the dismaying low of benching a very first general pick two weeks into the season.Advertisement”I think we’ve got our QB here,” Panthers owner David Tepper told NFL Media’s Cameron Wolfe after that win.The Panthers still have a long way to go. The defense gave up more points than any other team in NFL history and, while there were some offseason fixes, it’ll take a minimum of another offseason to get it to a decent level. Young made strides but he’ll require to reveal more enhancement to live up to what the Panthers bought him. Preparing receiver Tetairoa McMillan eighth overall should assist Young.Nobody ought to be
confusing the Panthers with a competitor just because they played better late in the season with an emerging quarterback. However there’s hope. It has actually been a while since that held true.(Grant Thomas/Yahoo Sports)Aaron Glenn seems to be a great hire to lead the restore
. The brand-new Jets head coach has actually already succeeded handling a hard market and also an unpleasant Aaron Rodgers scenario. Rodgers felt put out when he flew across the country to meet the Jets,
simply to be greeted with a no-nonsense 15-minute conference. Glenn and new Jets basic manager Darren Mougey told Rodgers they were moving on and didn’t ask for Rodgers ‘input on the direction of the franchise, which Rodgers believed he ‘d offer. Glenn and Mougey didn’t wish to hear it. The conference was short, sweet and to the point. Plenty of fans most likely appreciated the brand-new Jets brass after that story, specifically after handling lots of Rodgers drama and the franchise striving for him.Justin Fields is the next quarterback, a fairly affordable gamble that the Jets can easily proceed from if it doesn’t exercise. The Jets have lots of gifted players, which was the reason they had hopes for a huge season in 2015 if Rodgers was simply an average quarterback. The Jets have an unpleasant ownership scenario with Woody Johnson, which
will be a consistent obstacle, however there are some seeds of optimism.Advertisement There were major organizational failures that led to the Jets somehow going from 7-10 with Zach Wilson at quarterback to 5-12 with Rodgers playing far better than Wilson ever did. Mougey and Glenn are in charge of altering that, though they’re far from the very first group to try in this unpleasant era of Jets football. Rodgers was expected to break the Jets’streak of not making the playoffs, but it lives at 14 seasons. And the worst part of
turning up woefully short after that big relocation is the Jets may move back near square one.No. 27: To be exposed on Monday
