The 2025 NFL Draft represented the final marquee stage of the offseason, with all 32 teams strengthening their rosters and filling needs. While there will be more trades in the months to come, our NFL power rankings are evaluating where teams stand right now.
The Philadelphia Eagles are the best team in the NFL right now. We also saw the latest example in the 2025 NFL Draft of the rich getting richer. With linebacker Nakobe Dean (torn patellar tendon) in jeopardy of missing most of next season, Philadelphia replaced him with a Zack Baun clone in Jihaad Campbell. While the Eagles lost Mekhi Becton, Josh Sweat, Darius Slay and Isaiah Rodgers and Milton Williams this offseason, there are also reasons to believe youngsters Nolan Smith, Cooper DeJean and Quinyon Mitchell progress even more in 2025. Plus, Philadelphia also added depth – Azeez Ojulari, Josh Uche and Adoree Jackson – defensively. While there’s a slight risk of offensive regression with Kellen Moore gone, there are reasons to believe in new Eagles offensive coordinator Kevin Patullo maintaining this unit’s success.

The core of the Baltimore Ravens roster remains in place, with the re-signing of Ronnie Stanley standing out as one of the best moves in the offseason. We already know the Ravens’ offense can play at an elite level – first in EPA per Play (0.199) last season – and its defense performed at a top-five level after Marcus Williams was benched. In Round 1, Baltimore found its Williams replacement with Malaki Starks, whose instincts and range complement the secondary perfectly. The icing on the cake of all of this is the free-agent signing of Jaire Alexander, who gives this defense another high-end starter. Baltimore has everything it needs to win a Super Bowl, but this team still needs to demonstrate it can follow through during the playoffs.

The Buffalo Bills‘ offseason moves were low-risk with a moderate reward. Larry Ogunjobi and Joey Bosa add depth to the Bills’ defensive line, but there’s a reason just beyond money that they were released by their former teams. Buffalo also didn’t adequately address its receiving corps, with this unit still lacking a true No. 1 receiving option. With that said, Josh Allen has already proven he can carry the Bills roster even when the defense is decimated by injuries. Buffalo’s defense is healthier and deeper right now, which makes this one of the three best NFL teams.
We love the Detroit Lions roster in 2025, especially with the additions of defensive tackle Tyleik Williams and cornerback D.J. Reed Jr. There’s also reason for excitement about guard Christian Mahogany in his first year as a starter, with even more buzz surrounding this defense and what it could look like with good health. However, there is one major concern here....
