Welcome back to the PFF NFL show. I am Trevor Sykima. That is Dalton Wasserman, and boy, do we have a fun one for you here today. We're talking off-season grades for every single team in the NFL. So we've talked about free agency grades. We've talked about draft grades. We've even talked about some of the good and bad coaching and general manager moves that teams have made throughout the off season. And now we get to wrap it into one. We're going to take a look at every team, look at their rosters, look at their coaching staffs, look at the general manager positions in the front offices, see what has changed and say whether or not we like it

compared to what could have been the expectation for them, which goes into a lot of things.

Draft position, cab space they had, whether they had vacancies or not.

So, Dalton, we got a lot of things to think about here.

These grades are from yours truly.

So we might get to have a little bit of debate on here. We might get to fist fight with words, as they often do on these shows for a little disagreement. But how you doing, my friend? Big project today, so I'm excited for it. Good, good. I've told you, these are my favorite episodes when you just make the whole list and I get to pick apart where you're wrong. Or maybe if you're right on everything, then we have a nice, quick, short episode and we get on out of here. But no, this feels like, you know, I like this time of year in these types of episodes now is it really starts to feel like we get to now start to preview the season coming up, as opposed to constantly looking back and seeing where teams got to fill holes, and maybe we get another trade or two here pretty soon. but I think we really start to look at the future and look at what 2025 is going to look like for all 32. Yeah, hold on. What's up with this? There's like three shows in a row that I did the articles for it, and then you just get to kick back and just react to what I'm doing. I don't know. Listen, listen. I say it all the time. You're the star of the show. If you're the star of the show and you're doing all the work, man, my life gets real easy here. I need to be worse at my job. That's what I'm, that's what I'm. I need to be worse in my job and they need to ask you to do these things. See, you're stealing. See, I'm usually the one that goes the bare minimum route. That's how it always is. Just a bare minimum that gets you by. Don't steal my role here. You can only have so many people doing the bare minimum in one building. Okay. All right. All right. Just, it's not true. You go above and me on, my friend. We got a lot to get to here on today's episode. So let's go. Let's start right away. We're going in alphabetical order of the city

names, not the team names. You guys will catch on with that pretty quickly because it starts

here with the Arizona Cardinals. So I gave the Arizona Cardinals a B plus here for their offseason.

A ton of new defensive talent that is on that team. You know, when you look at free agency and the draft, they added guys like Dalman Thompson, Kaleas Campbell, Josh Sweat, Akeem Davis-Gather to linebacker level. Then they drafted Will Johnson. They got Walter Nolan. They've got Denzel Burke, Ketan Crawford, Cody Simon, Jordan Birch as well, their third rounder there.

I like a lot of what this team did. They didn't have any coaching or general manager changes, so we're not really thinking about that. The only reason why I wouldn't give this like, hey, man, really great job, well done. The defense got a lot better, new influx of talent is they didn't really do anything to the offensive line. And I felt like the offensive line was an area that they could have addressed in the draft or free agency just somewhere along the line the interior offensive line we talked about it last week in the team

needs show that interior offensive line still in the short term is a big worry for me and then

long term at offensive tackle with Jonah Williams going into that last year of his deal they They don't really have anybody waiting in the wings. And they don't really have anybody for new competition along the interior offensive line. So I give them a B-plus because I do think that the team got better and they brought in some really good players. But ultimately, I do wish that they would have prioritized offensive trenches a little bit more. So I wouldn't B-plus for the Cardinals here. Yeah, no, I think this is the offseason, especially the draft of Jonathan Gannon, right? Two years ago, they were the lowest graded off or defense, I should say, in football. This year moved up to 23rd, got a little better at preventing explosive plays. You saw a couple players start to emerge. But this is now the part where Gannon tries to make this defense in his image, right? And they feel like, okay, if we support this offense enough, if we put Kyler Murray in enough good spots with the run game and with the defense, we can then just allow him to use his heroics when he needs to, as opposed to all the time throughout the game, especially we saw that down in the stretch the second half of last season when it felt like there was too much

on Kyler Murray's plate. Now Jonathan Gannon's trying to build that elite defense in this

offseason if it works is going to be the reason that he got to do it. Yeah. Yeah. And I think that

appropriately this upcoming season is like, hey, Jonathan Gannon's got his side of the ball

all figured out. Now it really is about

Kyla Murray and seeing how he can evolve. Because if Kyler has sort of that closest to MVP type

of a season that we thought he might have last year, if he has that this year, then they're good

to go, right? Then you feel like the winning window is going to be incredible for this team because

next offseason, they're going to absolutely slam the gas pedal to the floor on the offensive side of the ball, and they're going to be a really complete roster. But if Murray is more of the same, a roller coaster, and just not good enough for them to be consistent enough to get into the playoffs and have a deep playoff run, then next off season you start thinking about, okay, are we thinking about other quarterback

options here? Are we drafting one? What are we doing with Murray? So I think they've set themselves

up the right way. So I wanted to give them a B plus there. The Atlanta Falcons are the next team.
