NFL projection model ranks all 32 rosters following 2026 draft: Are Rams team to beat?

With the 2026 NFL Draft in the books, we have a pretty good idea of how each team’s roster will look come September, barring some blockbuster trades.But who are the real contenders? Let’s turn to my NFL Projection Model to see which teams have the goods to challenge for a Super Bowl in 2026.My model has compiled all the rosters as they stand after the NFL Draft and ranked them from best to worst. To do this, the model uses various metrics and assigns a projection to each player to show their impact on a single game. Of course, positional value is quite important, which means, for example, that quarterback Josh Allen is worth a lot more to his team than running back Bijan Robinson, even though both sit atop their respective positions.After summing up the impact of each roster, we can then rank them 1-32: .dw-dark { display: none; } .native-mobile { .dw-dark { display: none; @media (prefers-color-scheme: dark) { display: block; } } .dw-light { @media (prefers-color-scheme: dark) { display: none; } } }
