The Commanders had a lot of draft picks this past draft, and many of them are on the defensive side. The only established starters on this defense are Jon Allen and Daron Payne. Everyone else is questions, but will have a chance to start.
Dallas Cowboys – How do you manage this roster that is getting expensive?
We know that Drama may not be the greatest GM, but this is a talented team to start. CeeDee is expensive and Dak and Micah Parsons will be up for new contracts soon. How will this roster replenish the rest of the talent as they pay their stars?
Philadelphia Eagles – How far can this team go?
An elite roster that is good at every level. Burn has his chance to make some noise, now it is time to do it. There will eventually be some roster turnover, but this team is in a good a spot as any to play now and in the future.
New York Giants – Can the offense develop in spite of Daniel Jones?
Daniel Jones is bad, we know that. There is young talent with potential around him on this offense. Malik Nabers is an elite prospect, and Theo Johnson is a solid developmental TE. Can Jones do enough to help these guys out?
Chicago Bears – How good can Caleb Williams be?
The Bears are a great young roster with good players all over and plenty of youth as well. Caleb comes out the box as an XF QB with elite guys to throw to. How long is it before Caleb is one of the top QBs in the game?
Detroit Lions – How long do you roll with Goff?
Jared Goff is a solid pocket passer, but definitely leaves more to be desired for QB play. Is there any reason to play Hendon Hooker, or does Goff get an extended period of time at the helm of this elite offense?
Green Bay Packers – Who is WR1?
This roster is talented in most spots, and has a solid young group of WR. Do any of them separate themselves as a top guy, or are they just a deep group. As I am writing this Jayden Reed was traded, so that may mean the Packers think one of the others has stepped up.
Minnesota Vikings – Who are long term pieces on defense?
Most of the good players on defense are old, especially at DB, so can any of the younger guys show that they deserve to stay for the long haul. A few young DBs have been signed from free agency and will get their chance.
Tampa Bay Buccaneers – How long do you roll with Baker?
Baker is a solid madden QB, and has good weapons to throw to, but does he get more than one season? Tampa definitely has some other holes to fix later, so does finding a QB get pushed back and buy Baker extra time?
Atlanta Falcons – Does Michael Penix get any chance?
The devs did Penix dirty by giving him normal development, and he is extremely old for a rookie. He is also a lefty which many people are not comfortable using. Kirk is still a solid option for sure, so is there any reason to use Michael Penix.
Carolina Panthers – Do they stick with Bryce Young?
We know the Panthers type of QB, and Young does not completely fit the mold. He has also struggled in real life which could sway the coach who is a panthers fan. The Panthers will likely have a high draft pick and a chance at a QB, so will they pull the trigger?
New Orleans Saints – How do they handle this aging roster?
Deebo is a saints fan, but we saw him struggle as a GM last year with the Dolphins. The roster is not in good shape, and the saints have cap issues as well. Young players will need to develop for this roster to be competitive in the future, and we haven’t seen a ton of that in the past.
San Francisco 49ers – Does Purdy get an extension?
Purdy has solid abilities and is basically playing for free right now. He doesn’t have the biggest arm or the quickest legs, but he can be a good QB. Do the 49ers feel it is worth it to pay him or do they look for someone else?
Arizona Cardinals – How good can the offense be?
We know that this defense will likely struggle with talent, but the offense should be good. Kyler is a good qb, Benson is likely the franchise RB, and Marvin Harrison is one of the best rookie WR we have ever seen. Can the offense come together quick enough to carry this team?
Los Angeles Rams – Puka and who long term?
Puka is a great young player who will be a focal point of the Rams for a while, but who else will be with him? All the “young” players are old for being young (yes I know how bad that sounds) and all the old players are also old.
Seattle Seahawks – How quick do you try and get a young QB in there?
Do you try out Howell or roll with Geno for a year before you get a rookie? The weapons are there for a QB to develop, now they just need to figure out who the QB is. Howell is definitely a solid option to give a chance to.
