The NFL Draft is about building for the future, but sometimes the future is now. Some teams really can change their short-term outlook with a few smart picks at the right positions, especially in the early rounds. So which teams succeeded and which ones failed in putting the final pieces together for their 2026 puzzle? And how did that affect the overall outlook of the league? Here are my post-draft Power Rankings, which set the stage for the 2026 season as the offseason comes to a close. Super Bowl odds: +40000 Some believe RB Jeremiyah Love will be the best player out of this draft, but how much is he really going to help a team with so many issues — particularly along the offensive line? The Cardinals are still the favorite to get the first pick of the 2027 draft. Super Bowl odds: +30000 Their two first-round picks were good (OT Kadyn Proctor at 12, CB Chris Johnson at 27) and will help, but they need to get QB Malik Willis some playmakers. Texas Tech WR Caleb Douglas was way too much of a reach in the third to fill the departed Jaylen Waddle’s shoes. Super Bowl odds: +15000 Let the offensive rebuild begin with a much-needed tackle (Spencer Fano at No. 9) and two talented receivers (KC Concepcion at No. 24 and Denzel Boston in Round 2). So, whoever their QB is will have help. Oh, and competition, since Cleveland took yet another QB — Arkansas’ Taylen Green in Round 6. That’s three in two drafts! Super Bowl odds: +15000 They had a terrific draft, especially on the first two days, and may have gotten a steal on Day 4 with Tennessee CB Jermod McCoy. And obviously they got their franchise QB in Fernando Mendoza. Their future is brighter, but there’s still a long way to go. Super Bowl odds: +20000 They had a great draft, too, adding three starters in the first round (edge David Bailey, TE Kenyon Sadiq, WR Omar Cooper) and their nickleback in Round 2 (D’Angelo Ponds). QB Geno Smith has plenty of weapons now, but he’s still a liability that’s going to hold this team down. Super Bowl odds: +9000 They desperately needed a WR to help Chris Olave, and they found one at No. 8 in Arizona State’s explosive WR Jordyn Tyson. That could be huge for QB Tyler Shough and Kellen Moore’s offense. The Saints’ defense still needs work, but second-round DT Christen Miller will help against the run. Super Bowl odds: +12000 They pulled the first surprise of the draft, taking WR Carnell Tate at No. 4, and now QB Cam Ward has several dangerous weapons. Robert Saleh added another edge rusher in the first (Keldric Faulk) and a linebacker in the second (Anthony Hill). This team is a lot more talented than it was. Super Bowl odds: +6000 No first-round pick, but they got two defensive starters in LB C.J. Allen and safety A.J. Haulcy on Day 2. Both should be solid players, but might not have a huge impact. The Colts could’ve really used a receiver to replace Michael Pittman, whom they traded away. Super Bowl odds: +5000 This draft would’ve looked better if the Eagles hadn’t stolen Makai Lemon from them in the first round. Guard Max Iheanachor, the consolation prize, might be a bit of a project, and second-round WR Germie Bernard was a bit of a reach. Taking QB Drew Allar in the third round was a headline pick, but he’s no help to the Steelers this year. Super Bowl odds: +6500 Dan Quinn fell in love with Ohio State LB Sonny Styles, and that’s great. But what this team needed most was offensive playmakers. They got Clemson WR Antonio Williams in the third, but they needed more, plus more help on the offensive line. Super Bowl odds: +5000 The fall of edge rusher Rueben Bain Jr. to No. 15 could be great for Todd Bowles, and second-round LB Josaiah Trotter and fourth-round CB Keionte Scott will help a defense that needs it, too. And Georgia State WR Ted Hurst (6-3, 207) could eventually be a steal for a team that somehow has to replace Mike Evans. Super Bowl odds: +2500 They have been laser-focused on the defense all offseason long, as they should be. Getting safety Caleb Downs at No. 11 was a steal, since some thought he was the best player in the draft. And adding two edge rushers (UCF’s Malachi Lawrence in Round 1, Michigan’s Jaishawn Barham in Round 2) helps rebuild their post-Micah Parsons pass rush. Super Bowl odds: +12000 Drafting CB Aveion Terrell into the same defensive backfield as his brother A.J. was a nice story with the Falcons’ first pick (second round). But that forced them to wait around to address their glaring need at WR. And they took a risk with the speedy Zachariah Branch, who’s only 5-foot-8, 176 pounds. Super Bowl odds: +9000 They prioritized the trenches and got Georgia OT Monroe Freeling in the first, which is good. Their real prize, though, could be Tennessee WR Chris Brazzell in the third round. He’s a 6-4, 198-pounder with 4.3 speed. QB Bryce Young needed a big-play, down-field threat to take some pressure off Tetairoa McMillan. Super Bowl odds: +7000 Armed with two top-10 picks, they came away with arguably the draft’s best LB (Arvell Reese) and best offensive lineman (Francis Mauigoa). Then they landed one of the best corners in Round 2 (Colton Hood) and a top-10 WR in Round 3 (Malachi Fields). John Harbaugh’s first draft was fantastic. Super Bowl odds: +5500 Trading away edge rusher Jonathan Greenard hurts their defense, especially their pass rush. But at least they stacked the middle with Florida DT Caleb Banks (6-6, 327) and Iowa State DT Domonique Orange (6-2, 322) in Rounds 1 and 3. Super Bowl odds: +1600 The Packers said they needed a corner and a nose tackle, and they got both with their picks in Rounds 2 and 3. But CB Brandon Cisse and DT Chris McClellan might be more about depth than immediate impact. They also still need a wideout to replace the two they lost. Super Bowl odds: +1700 Dan Campbell is all about the trenches, and he got help on both sides with OT Blake Miller (Round 1) and edge rusher Derrick Moore (Round 2). Moore taking some pressure off Aidan Hutchinson could really help the Lions’ defense. Super Bowl odds: +1600 They got an underrated edge rusher (Akheem Mesidor) in Round 1, but what they really needed was O-line help. Florida C Jake Slaughter (Round 2) and Memphis T Travis Burke (Round 4) may have to play a lot right away. Super Bowl odds: +2200 They used their first-round pick in a high-upside trade for DT Dexter Lawrence, then drafted underrated Texas A&M edge Cashius Howell in Round 2. Add in big (6-4) corner Tacario Davis in the third and the Bengals may finally have a defense that can keep up with their offense. Super Bowl odds: +1800 They desperately needed OL help and took big guards in the first and fourth rounds, including Georgia Tech’s Keylan Rutledge No. 26 overall. They also traded up for one of the draft’s best defensive tackles, Ohio State’s Kayden McDonald, in Round 2. The Texans are stronger in the trenches now. Super Bowl odds: +2500 They didn’t have a first-round pick and reached for a blocking tight end who caught just 36 passes in five years in college (Texas A&M’s Nate Boerkircher). They’ve got a lot of holes, and their offseason overall hasn’t been good. Super Bowl odds: +1600 They had already acquired a big-play receiver in Mike Evans, but they added a deep threat who could pull coverage away in the draft when they took the big, speedy De’Zhaun Stribling with the first pick of Round 2. They should have the most explosive offense they’ve had in years. Super Bowl odds: +2500 They did what they had to do in the draft, finding a starting safety (Oregon’s Dillon Thieneman) and offensive line help (Iowa C Logan Jones). Everything else just adds to the depth of a team ready to rise. Super Bowl odds: +1500 They used the draft to reload on defense, taking the best corner (LSU’s Mansoor Delane) and one of the best DTs (Clemson’s Peter Woods) in Round 1. They made sure that when Patrick Mahomes returns, he’ll have a top-10 defense behind him again. Super Bowl odds: +1000 They traded out of the first round and focused on defense. Clemson’s T.J. Parker makes them deep off the edge, and Ohio State’s Davison Igbinosun strengthens them at CB. Fourth-round OT Jude Bowry could be an instant starter on their line, and he might have to be. Super Bowl odds: +1600 Their most important job was improving the O-line, which they did with Utah tackle Caleb Lomu (6-6, 313) in Round 1. Second-rounder Gabe Jacas will help them off the edge, too, after losing K’Lavon Chaisson in free agency. Super Bowl odds: +1000 They hit all their weak spots, finding a road-grading guard (Olaivavega Ioane), an edge rusher to pair with Trey Hendrickson (Zion Young) and a couple of big receivers for Lamar Jackson (Elijah Sarratt, Ja’Kobi Lane). They’re a team that has it all. Super Bowl odds: +1600 Their wizard GM did it again, coming out of the first two days of the draft with two dangerous weapons (WR Makai Lemon, TE Eli Stowers to replace likely trade piece A.J. Brown) and a huge O-lineman (6-9, 346-pound Markel Bell), and he traded for edge rusher Jonathan Greenard. They are so back. Super Bowl odds: +1000 Replacing the Super Bowl MVP (Kenneth Walker) with Notre Dame’s backup RB (Jadarian Price) in the first round is interesting. They also restocked their secondary on Day 2. The reigning champs are a team without many holes, though. Super Bowl odds: +1800 Hard to argue the draft helped them when they had just one pick in the first two days. They didn’t need a lot, though. The offseason addition of WR Jaylen Waddle made them clearly the class of the AFC. Super Bowl odds: +800 They’re still the most talented team in the NFL, but they could’ve locked that in by picking an actual impact player at No. 13. Instead, they took QB Ty Simpson, who won’t help them until 2027 or 2028. This is still the team to beat, though.Latest Sports News from FOX Sports
Will Steinfeld with the Chilkat Valley News is back in the studio with KHNS’ Melinda Munson to get Haines ready for Tuesday’s borough Assembly meeting. The Assembly will be presented with Lutak Dock options, severance tax, plastic bag legislation, and more.
Melinda Munson: Will, the assembly is being presented with the current options for the Lutak Dock, and they have two recommendations in front of them. Tell us about that.
Will Steinfeld: I think it’s kind of a momentous thing that’s going on here. It’s been many weeks, months, years, even, of people hearing about the Lutak Dock and considering all these different factors. What kind of dock do they want? What’s the process for getting it built? And recently, it’s been a lot of kind of intermediary work going back and forth with the borough’s consultants from Moffatt and Nichol, the engineering firm…
But here at Tuesday’s meeting, the Assembly is … scheduled, to make a decision on what broad design concept they want to move forward with. So there’s three on the table. It’s not a detailed engineering design yet, but it’s three different styles of dock construction…
And whichever one the Assembly chooses here, it’s not necessarily a final decision in the sense that they’re certainly building that one. But it’s going to be the dock concept that the contractors, the borough’s consultants, start putting more work in and developing and trying to get out the bid at the end of this summer.
Coming into the meeting, two borough bodies, the Planning Commission and the Ports and Harbors Advisory Committee, have each made recommendations for which of these three concepts they think the Assembly should move forward with.
And while all these bodies, including the Assembly, are using the same criteria to evaluate these dock concepts, the two bodies that have made decisions or made recommendations so far have each recommended different things. So we’ll see what kinds of qualities the Assembly chooses to prioritize, and where they eventually come down.
Okay, Will. Tell us about last meeting. There were only four assembly members that participated in the meeting. So what did that mean?
It was kind of a weird situation, procedurally, since there are only four assembly members to get the four votes to pass any of the legislation that was on the table. Or really do anything. Amend it, send it to committee, any of these actions that require a majority vote, in this case, required a unanimous vote of all four members who are present. That gave each person sitting at the dais basically a veto. If they voted no, the thing was going to die.
So two pieces of legislation that the Assembly had been considering for a few weeks were voted down. One was adding language to the borough’s plastic bag ban that some Assembly members hoped would clarify the legislation eliminate stores using plastic bags in town. And the other was a severance tax to tax raw materials being exported from the borough, like timber or gravel and sand.
Both of those are back on the agenda for this week. So it’s kind of old things made new again, and they’re going to have to start all the way back at the start of the legislative process. They’re up to be introduced for a first public hearing, even though at the last meeting they were up for a final vote. I think we’ll hear more about the procedure of this, maybe from the clerk at the meeting. But I think it’s kind of a way to reconsider these pieces of legislation from the start.
The one that has some changes is the severance tax. There are actually two proposals. One is the prior proposal that was being considered, and one is an adjusted proposal from assembly member Mark Smith. The difference with Smith’s would be his removes timber from taxation. It also halves the rate of tax for gravel and sand, and it recommends that the borough use a payment in lieu of tax for mineral ore instead of severance tax.
Finally, there was a petition with over 500 signatures to pause sales tax, because people are feeling that everything is just so expensive. Tell us what happened after that petition came out, and what the muni’s response was to that.
I think the number of signatures really made an impact on the Assembly, at least from what I’ve seen in the past year or so. It’s pretty rare to get that much public support behind something. And assembly members, I think across the board, have said, ‘Hey, we really hear you on this. We think we see costs are going up. We want to try and do something about it.’ But that something is hard to say, exactly what the mechanism might be.
And so last meeting, what assembly members decided to do was have a town hall where people could come in. And the mayor said, you know, ‘It’s important for us to actually hear what specific struggles people have before we decide what the best way to try and address those is.’
Unfortunately, last week, at said town hall there was only one member of the public in the room, and maybe two or three or a couple more online. So, it ultimately just ended up kind of being a discussion forum for assembly members who are there. And there was actually only a couple assembly members there.
