POST NFL DRAFT POWER RANKINGS

The NFL Draft is in the books and mini camps / OTA’s are taking place across the league. This is a very quiet time throughout the league, but post June 1st cuts will add some wrinkles. A lot of teams have restructured their rosters, but they are far from the final 53. I have combed through transactions and draft picks to produce the Post NFL Draft Power Rankings below.
