Niner Noise breaks down all 32 teams in our final NFL power rankings before the 2018 NFL Draft kicks off later this month. Where does your team match up with the rest of the league?

The 2018 NFL Draft is only a few weeks away, and NFL power rankings already have been shaken up with the flurry of moves and deals we saw during free agency frenzy not long ago.

Longtime powerhouses, like the Seattle Seahawks, have seen a sharp drop off in their standings. Meanwhile, other NFC West franchises — the Los Angeles Rams and San Francisco 49ers, notably — are now trending in the right direction.

Free agency certainly added to the rankings. The Rams were no exception, making a flurry of deals to land All-Pro talent via trades and free-agent pickups. Considering they were already an 11-win team a year ago, it’s not hard to see why they climb.

The defending Super Bowl champions, the Philadelphia Eagles, tried to get stronger too. Adding defensive end Michael Bennett makes an already formidable front seven even better.

His legal issues notwithstanding, of course.

At any rate, it’s been a while since Niner Noise issued NFL power rankings. Now that free agency has largely passed, and before the draft kicks off on Apr. 26, let’s take a look at where all 32 teams stand before Round 1 finally starts.

Starting off with a team that can’t quite get out of the cellar, the Cleveland Browns.
