Last week, ESPN’s Bill Barnwell ranked each NFL team based on how good (or bad) of an offseason they had.
“To measure how each team performed, I’m comparing their roster, cap situation and future draft capital at the beginning of the offseason to what they have in mid-May,” Barnwell wrote on ESPN.com.
The Tampa Bay Buccaneers are ranked No. 1, followed by the Cleveland Browns. The Denver Broncos are ranked No. 3.
Barnwell praised the additions of Jerry Jeudy, KJ Hamler, Graham Glasgow, A.J. Bouye, Jurrell Casey and new offensive coordinator Pat Shurmur. Barnwell isn’t sure Melvin Gordon will live up to his contract, though, and he doesn’t like that there was no competition added for Garett Bolles.
Barnwell suggested that bringing in competition for Bolles should be one of the team’s top remaining priorities.
“Jason Peters might be out of their price range, but they could pretty easily justify signing someone like Kelvin Beachum or Cordy Glenn to compete for the job,” Barnwell wrote.
Elsewhere in the AFC West, the Los Angeles Chargers are ranked No. 10, followed by the Las Vegas Raiders (No. 15) and Kansas City Chiefs (No. 21). To view Barnwell’s complete offseason rankings, click here.
