The 2025 NFL Draft is quickly approaching, so let's get into our latest NFL Power Rankings as the 2025 NFL Offseason progresses. The NFL Draft is actually about three weeks away already, which is crazy to think about. Following the 2025 NFL Draft, teams will dip into the free agency market again, and soon after that, many of the offseason programs will begin.
The 2025 NFL Season will kickoff in September, and the hierarchy of the league as it stands right now may not change all that much when the season begins in about five months from now. We are barely three months removed from Super Bowl LIX as well when the Philadelphia Eagles beat the Kansas City Chiefs.
Let's power rank all 32 NFL teams ahead of the 2025 NFL Draft.
NFL Power Rankings: Ranking all 32 teams ahead of the 2025 NFL Draft
32. Cleveland Browns
Picking second overall in the 2025 NFL Draft, the Cleveland Browns are last in our latest NFL Power Rankings, as this team has a laundry list of issues.
31. New York Giants
At least marginally upgrading the QB position this offseason, the New York Giants come in at no. 31 and are still a dysfunctional mess.
30. Tennessee Titans
Loading up along the offensive line and having the first pick in the 2025 NFL Draft should indicate that the Tennessee Titans might be taking QB Cam Ward with that pick, but they are still among the worst teams in the NFL at the moment.
29. New York Jets
I am not sure what the New York Jets are trying to accomplish with Justin Fields as their starting QB, but until they figure out a viable QB solution, they will always be ranked quite low in our power rankings.
28. New Orleans Saints
The New Orleans Saints clearly do not want to rebuild yet and have an aging, average QB and a first-year head coach. That is a recipe for a single-digit win season in 2025.
27. Jacksonville Jaguars
There are parts of the Jacksonville Jaguars to like, but until they prove their worth in the AFC, they won't go much higher in our NFL Power Rankings.
26. New England Patriots
I would be shocked if the New England Patriots remained this low as the 2025 NFL Season got underway, as there is a good bit to like with this team heading into the 2025 NFL Draft.
25. Dallas Cowboys
I have no clue what the Dallas Cowboys are trying to do yet again. They should remain among the bottom-10 teams in the NFL throughout the 2025 NFL Season.
24. Carolina Panthers
A team that could be on the cusp of breaking out in 2025, the Carolina Panthers are 24th in our latest power rankings but are trending in the right direction.
23. San Francisco 49ers
Clearly in a transition year, the San Francisco 49ers could flirt with a winning record in 2025 if all goes well, but this team is all of a sudden needing a ton of talent.
22. Las Vegas Raiders
The Las Vegas Raiders added Pete Carroll and Geno Smith this offseason, but that isn't going to be good enough in the loaded AFC.
21. Indianapolis Colts
One of Daniel Jones or Anthony Richardson will be starting for the Indianapolis Colts in 2025...
Yeah, do I need to say more?
20. Atlanta Falcons
The Atlanta Falcons have a nice roster and a young QB with a ton of talent at his disposal. The Falcons can compete for the NFC South title in the 2025 NFL Season.
19. Seattle Seahawks
Getting worse this offseason, the Seattle Seahawks come in at 19th in our latest NFL Power Rankings and are not going to be that great in 2025. They won 10 games in 2024 but still missed the playoffs.
18. Miami Dolphins
The Miami Dolphins can absolutely win double-digit games and make the playoffs, but their oft-injured QB has held them back at times, unfortunately.
17. Chicago Bears
A team that could compete for a Wild Card playoff spot in the NFC in 2025, the Chicago Bears could be building something special and can rise in our power rankings as the season goes on.
16. Arizona Cardinals
An average team that can flirt with double-digit wins in 2025, the Arizona Cardinals were 6-4 at one point in 2024 and are a sleeper team to keep an eye on.
15. Pittsburgh Steelers
Likely winning the Aaron Rodgers sweepstakes, the Pittsburgh Steelers are likely not going to be a whole lot better or worse than they were in 2024, and that is the main problem here.
14. Cincinnati Bengals
Needing to really fix their defense, the Cincinnati Bengals are need to get out of their own way here and get more serious about winning.
13. Tampa Bay Buccaneers
The epitome of a 'good not great team,' the Tampa Bay Buccaneers are nestled in at 13th in our latest NFL Power Rankings.
12. Minnesota Vikings
I put the Minnesota Vikings this low due to the uncertainty with JJ McCarthy at QB, but they could absolutely rise in our power rankings as the season rolls on.
11. Houston Texans
A team with huge offensive line and wide receiver questions, the Houston Texans are another 'good not great' team with another wide-open shot to win the AFC South.
10. Los Angeles Chargers
Going 11-6 in 2024, the Los Angeles Chargers could be another team that leaps into contender status if the 2025 NFL Draft brings them the players they need.
9. Los Angeles Rams
The LA Rams went 10-7 in 2024 despite starting out 1-4 due to injuries. This team is better than you think and are still in the contender bubble approaching the 2025 NFL Draft.
8. Denver Broncos
Do not sleep on the Denver Broncos, folks. This roster is quite good and added a ton of talent in free agency. If they hit on their needs in the NFL Draft, watch out for Denver being a contender in 2025.
7. Green Bay Packers
A team on the cusp of greatness, the Green Bay Packers could absolutely win the NFC North. They are seventh in our latest NFL Power Rankings ahead of the NFL Draft.
6. Kansas City Chiefs
Now having more roster questions than when the offseason began, the Kansas City Chiefs really need a strong 2025 NFL Draft to get back to the mountaintop in the 2025 NFL Season.
5. Washington Commanders
A team that I believe could win it all in 2025, the Washington Commanders are fifth in our NFL Power Rankings and won 14 total games in the 2024 season.
4. Baltimore Ravens
Falling short in the postseason yet again, the Baltimore Ravens are still in a great spot in our NFL Power Rankings, as they settle into fourth.
3. Buffalo Bills
The best team in the AFC right now is the Buffalo Bills. They have the reigning MVP and may also have the best roster in the conference as well. Can they get over the hump in 2025?
2. Detroit Lions
If not for some brutal defensive injuries in 2024, the Detroit Lions may have made the Super Bowl. They are an excellent team and second in our power rankings.
1. Philadelphia Eagles
Winning Super Bowl LIX, the Philadelphia Eagles are objectively the best team in the NFL until someone knocks them off the top or if they hit a legitimate Super Bowl hangover during the 2025 NFL Season. Only time will tell if Howie Roseman can get this roster back to an elite spot.
