Rank The NFC North Rosters

[nc0gnet0]

Lions have the best safeties. They are worst as far as corners go, unless Arnold takes a big old jump this year.

Laporta had a better 24 than an injured Hockenson, but CJ Ham (yes, I know he’s used more as a FB, but I’ll lump him in because he is sometimes used as a Y TE) is better as a blocker than Detroits TE2. Oliver, minnesota’s actual TE2, has better range/route tree as well. If we’re strictly looking at individual TE1, it’s Detroit. If we’re looking at TE room as a whole, it’s Minnesota.

You bring up an interesting point. All these ranking are projecting a big jump from Caleb this year, a big jump in coaching this year, yada yada yada.
However, then, when ranking the other three teams, the OP is only using 24 data, and does not allow for the same improvements on the younger players for the other three teams. If you can project a big jump for Caleb this year, why can't I in turn project a big jump for Arnold, and another improvement for Campbell? And they are far from the worst at CB (cough cough GB), Davis was outstanding last year, and by all accounts DJ reed is an upgrade over him.

And I disagree with you about Minnesota vs Detroit in the TE department. As far as Hock being hurt last year, so was LaPorta.

I would flip Bears and Minny simply because of QB. Williams has far more potential.

Kevin O'Connel has shown to be a miracle worker with QB's.

Really, the only player that matters in grading a QB room is the starter and in no reality is Caleb the divisions best QB

Yep............Gotta agree with you here. I would rate the QBs like this going into 2025.

1 Goff, most consistent QB in the NFCN.
2 Williams, most potential of any NFCN QBs.
3 Love most inconsistent QB in the NFCN
4 McCarthy missed 2024 due to injury........TBD

Don't agree on the TE but other than that pretty damn good.

Kicker was wrong as well.

True, but for now you would have to say TBD for McCarthy until we actually see him play a regular season game.

Agreed, but I would think he is a little further along than your traditional rookie too.

Agreed, but I would think he is a little further along than your traditional rookie too.

And as mentioned, Kevin O’Connell is a guru.

Maybe not, but interesting tidbit nontheless:
CW was the #1 QB in the entire league in Red Zone production with almost 300 yds in completions, 7
TDs, zero INTs and a QB rating in the mid 90s.
