The Gipper Posted March 28, 2019 Report Share Posted March 28, 2019 Here is an ESPN article from yesterday assigning a "label" (not a grade) to each team's "performance" so far from free agency signings/losses and trades: The labels are: Near Perfection .... Average.....Below Average.....Incomplete. "Near perfection" Grades: Packers, Jags, Jets, Raiders, Panthers, Bills.....and Browns Average Grades (most of the rest of the teams it seems): Cards, Ravens, Falcons, Bears, Cowboys, Broncos, Lions, Colts, Chiefs, Chargers, Rams, Pats, Saints, Steelers, 49ers, Titans, Redskins Below Average: Bengals, Texans, Dolphins, Giants, Bucs Incomplete: Vikings, Seahawks, Eagles http://www.espn.com/nfl/story/_/id/26357506/2019-nfl-free-agency-ratings-most-impactful-moves-all-32-teams Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Gipper Posted March 28, 2019 Author Report Share Posted March 28, 2019 Here is AFC North transactions: Browns: Key additions: Odell Beckham Jr., wide receiver; Sheldon Richardson, defensive tackle; Olivier Vernon, defensive end Key subtractions: Tyrod Taylor, quarterback; Breshad Perriman, wide receiver; Briean Boddy-Calhoun, cornerback (My opinion: huge net gains in talent) Ravens: Key additions: Earl Thomas, free safety; Mark Ingram, running back; Justin Bethel, special teams/cornerback Key subtractions: C.J. Mosley, middle linebacker; Terrell Suggs, outside linebacker; Za'Darius Smith, outside linebacker My opinion: fair size net loss in talent...particularly Mosley (Suggs/Thomas a wash imo) Steelers Key additions: Steven Nelson, cornerback; Donte Moncrief, wide receiver;Mark Barron, linebacker Key subtractions: Le'Veon Bell, running back; Antonio Brown, wide receiver; Jesse James, tight end; L.J. Fort, linebacker My opinion: huge net loss in talent (not even counting Bell). Bengals: Key additions: John Miller, guard; B.W. Webb, cornerback; Kerry Wynn, defensive line Key subtractions: Vontaze Burfict, linebacker; Tyler Kroft, tight end My opinion: Not sure why they gave Bengals the worst grade.....seems a slight net gain in talent...got rid of a cancer in the mean time in Burfict.

The Gipper Posted March 29, 2019 Author Report Share Posted March 29, 2019 This didn’t include the browns loss of Zeitler in the trade to get Vernon so we would have to factor that in. Although it also doesn’t talk about the fact that we added two or three offense of lineman in free agency as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TexasAg1969 Posted March 30, 2019 Report Share Posted March 30, 2019 4 hours ago, darren15 said: Me I would have given Jax a higher grade just on QB improvement alone. The fact they added two OLs to improve the odds of that acquisition gives them a better score IMO. Bortles was a team anchor, sinking the ship to the bottom his whole time. Watch out for them under Foles and a healthy Fornette for the tough 1st down yardage. A team worth a gamble for the right price to win upsets this coming year. And worth a small bet for the whole enchilada @ around 50 to 1. $10 wins you $500. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
