Welcome to today's episode of pushing the pile.

Mike Renner and J.P. Acosta is coming to you for the next hour.

As always, and we're going to be rolling through our power tiers on today's show.

The draft is over.

Free agency for the most part is over besides a few stragglers.

These rosters are, for all intents and purposes, set for what they're going to be next fall,

which means barring a Michael Parsons-esque trade, we can kind of rank them. You know, we can kind of say on paper, here's what they're looking like heading into 2026. We got 10 tiers. These are my tiers this time around. I'm going to start from maybe the tiers you don't want to be in all the way up to the tiers that you definitely want to be in. Start with this, JP. It's called the Need More Talent Tier. Not to say that these teams are necessarily heading in the wrong direction. I think actually a lot of them are heading in the right direction. It's just an unfortunate nature of the NFL that sometimes you go into a year knowing that you don't got it on paper. You don't got the horses. You might have a great head coach. I think some of these teams do. A lot of them have new head coaches. All of them do truthfully. But on paper, they are just starkly behind the other teams in their division. It's the Miami Dolphins. It's the Tennessee Titans. It's the Las Vegas Raiders, and it's the Arizona Cardinals.

Honestly, I kind of feel like the Raiders

are in a different, like, in between

for the next year we're going to talk about.

I think they're very talented.

I think if you look at what they added

on the defensive side of the ball,

going out and signing the Kobe Dean, Quay Walker.

You get Max Crosby back, which I think is going to still be a thing for this season.

Quitty Pays on the team.

Malcolm Coons is going to be back after another year being fully healthy.

And then what they did in the draft, you know, you also signed Tyler Linderbaum to be

your starting center one of your core players uh you

duen drafted your quarterback at fernando mendoza who i think is a great scheme fit with clink

kubiak and then i just think that you kept adding pieces to the defense um depending on what

happens with your mom mccoy that could be really fun trading stukes is a really fun player
