2026 NFL Power Rankings: Evaluating Worst, Best Teams After NFL Draft

What is the best NFL team right now? Free agency and the 2026 NFL Draft have now come to a close, with the two biggest offseason dominoes and opportunities for clubs to reshape their rosters in the rearview mirror. With practices next, it’s time to look at where every team stands in the hierarchy of the league.

Let’s dive into our 2026 NFL power rankings, as we evaluate where all 32 clubs stand right now with their rosters before the summer. 1. Seattle Seahawks Steven Bisig-Imagn Images The Seattle Seahawks are the best NFL team right now.

Going from Super Bowl MVP Kenneth Walker to Jadarian Price is an obvious downgrade, but this team hoisted the Lombardi Trophy because of one of the league’s best defenses in the last five-plus years. While the Seahawks roster overall might not be quite as strong as it was a few months ago, the defense is well-positioned to replicate its success with Mike Macdonald. With how wide-open the top of the NFL is, that’s enough to put Seattle up top for now.

2. Los Angeles Rams Kevin Ng-Imagn Images If the Los Angeles Rams used their top pick on a player who could help immediately, perhaps they jump the Seahawks in our 2026 NFL power rankings. What Los Angeles did accomplish this offseason is finally improving its secondary, acquiring Trent McDuffie and Jaylen Watson, all the while keeping their safety grouping intact.
