Dan Campbell has the makings of a good coach, but the Lions are bereft of any talent.
Jacksonville Jaguars. 30. player. AFC South. 52. Scouting Report. Pick Analysis. 0-0

Joe Burrow is still recovering, and the defense remains the mess it has been for years.
NFC East. 28. 54. Scouting Report. Pick Analysis. player. 0-0. Philadelphia Eagles

20. player. Pick Analysis. 0-0. NFC East. Dallas Cowboys. 123. Scouting Report

Aaron Rodgers and the Packers have the talent to get a ring, but will chemistry derail them?
AFC East. player. Scouting Report. Pick Analysis. 0-0. 16. Buffalo Bills. 3
