We have scored every draft pick from 2020-2025 using our model. Now, we are re-evaluating how well each team has set themselves up through the draft. Here is how we rank all 32 teams during this span. 📌Bookmark this thread - we will break down every team individually ⬇️
Amarius Mims looks like he’s on the verge of a major breakout. Bengals EDGE rushers have been running into a brick wall all camp. All of the tools are there to become an elite pass blocking OT.

Just in: Shemar Stewart and the Cincinnati Bengals reached agreement on a four-year, fully guaranteed $18.97 million contract that includes a $10.4 million signing bonus, per his agent Zac Hiller of LAA. Every 2025 first-round pick now has a deal.
#Eagles GM Howie Roseman explains why it's very important to him to extend players early: "We're trying to draft, develop, sign."
255 of 257 draft picks are now signed. The last two to go: #Bengals DE Shemar Stewart (17) and #Browns RB Quinshon Judkins (36).
The #AZCardinals and second round pick CB Will Johnson have agreed to terms and he will sign his four-year deal, source said. The deal, done by Trevon Smith and David Mulugheta of @AthletesFirst, completes AZ’s draft class.
Packers, OT Zach Tom agree to four-year, $88M extension that includes an OL record $30.2M signing bonus. (via @TomPelissero, @RapSheet, @MikeGarafolo)
With much speculation re: who would get first cracks at the center position, #Lions rookie Tate Ratledge handled all of the first-team snaps for Detroit during 11-on-11 periods today. Graham Glasgow played RG and Christian Mahogany at LG.
If Vanderbilt TE Eli Stowers runs anywhere near a 4.4 and hits close to 44” in the vertical like Diego Pavia says here, he will be a 1st round TE prospect. Stowers has cleared 2.3 yards/route run both years as a full-time starter. The elite production is there. Early 2026 TE1.
Vanderbilt QB Diego Pavia was all smiles when talking about former Texas A&M QB, now Vandy TE Eli Stowers @eli_stowers3 "He's just an all-around player, and then off the field,d he's one of the best persons I've ever met in my life."

The most productive non-QBs from the 2020 NFL Draft. Justin Jefferson, Tristan Wirfs, and CeeDee Lamb are on Hall of Fame trajectories. Special players. The Bengals (Burrow not even included here), Bucs, and Cowboys nailed this class and kept their stars.
The most productive non-QBs from the 2023 NFL Draft so far. This is a Puka Nacua tweet. One of the best picks we’ve seen in recent memory by that Rams front office. Also, hard to ignore the incredible young cores the Lions, Packers, and Seahawks have built.
