Watch Colin Cowherd count down his rankings of the top ten teams in the NFL following the 2024 NFL Draft, in his very first installment of the Herd Hierarchy.
10. Los Angeles Chargers
“Herbert and Jim Harbaugh are great but they lost a lot of offense. Austin Ekeler, Keenan Allen, Mike Williams, Gerald Everett. They lost a lot of productive veteran dudes. I like the kid they drafted, Joe Alt, they got Hayden Hurst, and they got Gus Edwards. They got some replacements, but I don’t think they’re going to be quite as lethal offensively.”
9. Houston Texans
“I may have them under-ranked. I may be wrong; they may be higher than this. I liked their draft, I liked their free agent signings; Stefon Diggs, Danielle Hunter, Joe Mixon – the last two years in personnel they’ve done as well as anybody in this league. I LOVE what they’re doing.”
8. Philadelphia Eagles
“Offensively, it’s stacked. With or without Kelce it’s stacked. Receivers, tight ends, Saquon Barkley, Jalen Hurts. They have new coordinators so I just wanna watch it. A couple years ago I loved their coordinators but last year I didn’t like their coordinators. Mitchell, the corner from Toledo, hopefully solves their secondary, which was a mess.”
7. Buffalo Bills
“You can sell all your Buffalo Bills stock, but their o-line and run-game finally arrived last year. I’m not having Josh Allen out of my top ten. I thought they had another excellent draft drafting Keon Coleman.”
6. San Francisco 49ers
“They addressed secondary in the draft and drafted two receivers. They had nine Pro Bowlers last year and they all return. I feel like last year they peaked.”
5. Green Bay Packers
“I love the Packers. I don’t think they quite have the roster of Detroit but I love them. Josh Jacobs is maybe the first or second best running back in the league. They allowed the third-fewest sacks in the league. This team drafts as well as anybody, Jordan Morgan is a STUD at left tackle. First four picks I thought the Packers and Buccaneers had the best four picks.”
4. Los Angeles Rams
“I thought they had an unbelievable first four picks. Four guys who will start. All my executive and scout buddies in the league thought the Rams crushed it, and they crushed last year’s draft. They lost Aaron Donald but they got Jared Verse.”
3. Detroit Lions
“This is a stacked roster. I think they’re the Niners, but with younger players. They’re the Niners with a more talented quarterback. They added Marcus Davenport off the edge, Carlton Davis the corner from Tampa I’ve always liked, and then they went out and got Terrion Arnold, another corner. They were BAD at corner last year and they addressed both.”
2. Baltimore Ravens
“They lose Gus Edwards and Dobbins, but they get Derrick Henry. They had a disappointing postseason but they rolled teams last year in the regular season. Lamar is in his prime and the coaching staff is great.”
1. Kansas City Chiefs
“Xavier Worthy, I don’t know how good he’ll be. His sizer worries me, but if anybody is going to make it work, it’s going to be Kansas City. They added Hollywood Brown, and their receiving corps will be much more worthy and acclaimed than it was last year. Last year was the year to beat them.”
