If anyone finds dynasty rankings that look decent, please post a link. Most I see are very focused on the rest of this season, but I have some eliminates teams where I’m looking past this season at this point.
My contributions...
*The Eagles cap situation is grotesque, who knows what will happen with leadership, Alex Singleton is a free agent, and they spent a day 2 pick on Davion Taylor who the scouting community pretty much all agreed needed a redshirt year.
*The Browns LB play has been abysmal, but Jacob Phillips issues staying healthy have prevented him from getting a more meaningful opportunity. He was also a day 2 investment, Stefanski has singled him out in multiple press conferences, is just 22 years old, and the two lead LB's (Goodson and M Smith) are free agents.
*The Packers are in a precarious cap position, gushed about Kamal Martin this summer pre-injury, gave him the lead LB role immediately upon his return anyway (til Kirksey returned), and they can shed $6m against the cap by letting the vet go.
Free agent and draft blocks are inevitable, but all 3 of those have path's to a #1 role if their team wants to. Others also have my attention, but those are the 3 young players I'd prioritize over anyone else currently buried on a depth chart when factoring in bang-for-buck. Of course Isaiah Simmons > all of them, but the relative cost will be vastly different.

I'm staying away from rankings this year though. I tried them each of the last two years and don't think doing so was worthwhile. I'd only consider someone else's work as a market evaluation data point. Identify those that could make a big jump then re-assess your roster after the dust settles in May. That's when I think doing rankings was worthwhile.
