NFL Power Rankings: Titans make the playoffs and 2020 NFL Draft Order

8. New England Patriots

Draft position: Playoffs

The New England Patriots always turn it on in December and January and make everyone who doubted them look like fools. However, I will dare to say that this feels different right now.

Tom Brady is really struggling and has had his numbers propped up by screen passes and receivers getting YAC. The Patriots have lose 3 of their last 5 games and have only averaged 22 points in their last six games.

Defensively, the Patriots are always the a great unit but even standout players like Stephon Gilmore have struggled a little bit in past weeks.

I am not going to put the Patriots any lower than this, but this doesn’t feel like the same terrifying Patriots team that we have seen before.

7. Minnesota Vikings

Draft position: Playoffs

I give the Vikings a lot of credit because that pass rush is just so terrifying and they do have talented cornerbacks all over the field who seem poised to make a big play the moment I count them out.

Offensively, Kirk Cousins is polarizing but as long as he stays away from Monday Night Football he should be alright and luckily all of the playoff games are played on the weekend.

Seriously though, I think Adam Rudolph, Stefon Diggs, Adam Thielen, and Dalvin Cook should be enough to make any DC’s heart race.
