Matt and Drew rank their teams while giving a fun fact about each franchise. Drew makes a surprise early round choice and has to defend his pick. Where are the defending Super Bowl champions on this list? Aaron Rodgers could make the Steelers very watchable or very difficult to watch. Interest in the Browns could grow throughout the season should Shedeur Sanders end up on the field. Matt and Drew explain why they have the same ranking for the Giants.
