The 2024 NFL Draft is now a week away and there are a few teams that will truly decide how everything unfolds. First, the New England Patriots could take their next franchise quarterback, but they could also make a trade down to add picks. Despite the allure, taking the passer is the right thing to do especially if Drake Maye is there. Next, the Los Angeles Chargers have been rumored to be interested in trading down or taking an offensive lineman, but they need to target wide receivers early. Finally, the Minnesota Vikings appeared to gear up for big trade for a quarterback, but would it be worth it if that QB is J.J. McCarthy? Tyler and Alex don't think so.

We can now take inventory of teams and  their off-seasons by looking at free agency and the draft to see who had the most complete cycle so far, and a couple of teams come to mind. Also unsigned vets are available to help contenders on defense.

The Best Off-Season Was Had By Which Teams?

The 2024 NFL Draft is now a week old and the best pick of the first round was clearly Marvin Harrison Jr. The Arizona Cardinals were smart to stick and take the best wide receiver in the draft. On the flip side, overdrafting quarterbacks continues to be a mistake and the Atlanta Falcons and Denver Broncos didn't learn their lesson. Next, while Brock Bowers is a good player, he is not a good fit for the Raiders, but Xavier Worthy is a perfect match for the Chiefs. Finally, the Buffalo Bills made an unspeakable error, but strengthening their primary rival in the Chiefs and the Jets were wise to move down one spot and still take an offensive lineman to protect Aaron Rodgers.
