NFL projection model ranks all 32 rosters following 2026 draft: Are Rams team to beat?

Key Points:

• The Los Angeles Rams top the NFL Projection Model's 2026 Super Bowl contender list, boasting elite quarterback Matthew Stafford and strong units in receivers, offensive line, defensive line, and cornerbacks despite some concerns at offensive tackle.
• The Seattle Seahawks and Buffalo Bills rank second and third respectively, with Seattle featuring a formidable defense and balanced offense, while the Bills rely heavily on elite quarterback Josh Allen to overcome roster holes.
• Other notable contenders include the Kansas City Chiefs and Philadelphia Eagles, both benefiting from elite quarterbacks (Patrick Mahomes and Jalen Hurts) and strong positional groups, though the Eagles' ranking could drop if wide receiver A.J. Brown is traded.
• Teams like the Los Angeles Chargers, Denver Broncos, and Baltimore Ravens round out the top eight, each with strengths in key areas such as offensive line, secondary, and defensive back seven, but with some positional concerns.
• At the bottom of the rankings, the New York Jets and Miami Dolphins are projected to struggle, with the Dolphins last due to a roster in full rebuild mode and significant weaknesses across nearly all position groups.
