Buy, sell, or hold? Which three teams do you put in each category?
Buy:
- San Francisco. They're up and coming. I think JG is the real deal. They have a good coaching staff and they started playing well before JG got the starts, so this was already a team on the rise. They have a TON of money available to improve their team as well.
- Jacksonville. Excellent defense, and I think Bortles showed me enough to think that they could continue to improve. I like Marrone as coach.
- LA Rams. Young. Fast. Talented on both sides of the ball. This team is on the rise with a bullet. Will be very fun watching them compete with the 49ers next year.
Hold:
- New England. Been the single most dominant force in the NFL for 17 years now. That's not changing in 2018 barring some catastrophe. They should be right there in the AFCCG again, with a good chance at another Super Bowl berth.
- Philadelphia. Some cap issues, but they have a quality roster. The QB situation will be worth bearing out, and losing Reich will hurt some. But this is a very good team that may be getting a better QB back (Wentz).
- Pittsburgh. One more good season from Roethlisberger. Still with outstanding talent on this roster. A team with plenty of ammo for 2018.
Sell:
- Seattle. Aging defense, may lose some key components. OL is a mess. Team on the decline. Still capable of winning a big game but they're also in a division with the Rams and resurgent 49ers.
- Atlanta. Lots of talent still, but I think NO is the class of the division. I see Atlanta continuing to decline. Matt Ryan's 2016 campaign will more and more seem like an outlier.
- Kansas City. Not sure that Mahomes will be the guy to take this team forward. Aging defense. Love Hunt but I see them taking a step back next year, not a step forward.
