The Lions are the tenth best offense... at number nine, seeing the Kansas City Chiefs... Number eight is the New England Patriots... Number seven is the Baltimore Ravens... Number six is the Chicago Bears. Number five is the Buffalo Bills... Seattle Seahawks, number four. Cincinnati Bengals number three. The Cowboys are number two in the NFL... The Rams.
Waiting on the season to settle this.said May 12, 2026 you're you know, you're going to to see how this new offense plays against what could be the best defense in the NFL in 2026
The Giants are gonna have the most ferocious pass rush in 2026. / I don't think that's an overreaction.
The Giants are gonna have the most ferocious pass rush in 2026.
I'm I'm comfortable with the linebacker position. I think they have the best safety room in the NFL
Top five defenses left in the National Football League playoffs presented by Hyundai... I'm putting the Rams fifth on my list right here... So I'm putting the Bills fourth on the list... I'm putting the Broncos here, third on the list... It's the Seattle Seahawks. They're two on the list... I'm putting the Texans number one.
They still have Matt Lafleur, a quarterback I believe in, and what I think is going to be the best defense in the league.
I think they might have the best front four in football.
I love their defensive line. I mean, I think it could be the best edge group in the league.
They are the best organization in the NFL, with the best offensive line in the NFL
I think they have the best O line in the NFC North for sure.
their defense is top five potential
I'm going to tight Ends... The leader is the Baltimore Ravens, and it's Mark Andrews and it's Isaiah Likely.
I am taking them with the ninth overall pick in our best position groups the Lions' safeties.
But I love what the Ravens have in safety right now... But we're gonna go safeties because the top tier, you know, potential with these guys and who they have at safety in Houston
So that's my next pick, Lions running backs. First running backs group off the board... No group, I think, and the top two is better rounded, just more complete than the Lions running backs.
any room with Patrick Mahomes, I feel like it should be included in the best position group in the league... I love my pick. I got Patrick Mahomes this late.
So we're going to start with the Giants, and we're going to go with their edge rushing group
this is third overall, I'm taking the Steelers edge group
we're going to interior offensive line, and we're going with the Pittsburgh Steelers
That's the best receiver group in my opinion. It's not the Bengals, it's the Buccaneers... Okay, let's go receiver again... come on down, Minnesota Vikings.
Except I'm going Bengals wide receivers with my next pick... I actually had the Eagles wide receivers in my top five or six overall
