Ravens: Fix their overall defense. At Edge rusher right now the Ravens are stuck with Kyle Van Noy, and Dtemont Jones, which both of them are aging. The Ravens are bottom 10 in rush yards allowed, and pass rush win rate, and the reason they were losing earlier in the season is not being able to stop the pass or run. Week 1 the Ravens allowed almost 400 pass yards and two touchdowns, Week 3 against the Lions they allowed almost 200 combined rush yards, and 4 combined rushing TDs, and week 4 against the Chiefs they allowed 270 passing yards and 4 TDs. This offseason their is a few key prices that the Ravens could bring in to help. The Ravens dont have the cap to bring in Hendrickson, but I think they should make a push for Khalil Mack. Mack has only played 7 games, yet he already has 4 sacks and 2 FF. Baltimore allows the 4th least sacks and the Ravens fumble their own ball the 3rd most per game, so Mack would fix the turnover margin and pass rush, making the Ravens a more reliable defense vs superstar QBs.
Bengals: Start rebuild mode Trey Hendrickson most likely wont be resigned, so with that extra cap they should start signing younger players, and trade aging veterans. Yes with Burrow and Chase they should be contenders, but their defense is so atrocious, they will never do anything. The Bengals should focus on getting more draft capital, and they should flat out start rebuild mode. The Bengals are very stuck right now though. With Burrow and Chase they will still win games, leaving them with bad draft picks. The Bengals should trade Tee Higgins. The Bengals have a terrible defense, so they should start rebuilding for a future super team.
Browns: Draft Heismendoza
The Browns shouldn’t rebuild just yet. Keep the whole defense, as it is one of the best in the league, and their offense has potential if they could get a good QB. (No Sheduer is not the future). The Browns have to draft Fernando Mendoza, and I believe Mendoza can succeed without many good weapons. I still think they should draft a WR, but they don’t need to go all out. I think the Browns can be a top half of the league team soon enough. They are such a young team, with Judkins in the rushing game, Mendoza in the passing game, and Garret, Mason Graham, and Carson Schwesinger all in the future. I think the Browns are already set up perfectly as long as they can get a QB.
Steelers: Go all out in free agency and their offense has draft.
I have came up with a full plan for the Steelers to win the Super Bowl even next year. My plan is this: Step 1: Draft Mansoor Delane CB. The Steelers allow the 2nd most passing yards per game, and they allow the most completions. Mansoor Delane is a lockdown CornerBack and he could really help the Steelers badly. Step 2: Make sure to keep the full pass rush. This one seems easy to do, as TJ Watt, Alex Highsmith, and Cam Hayward are all still here until 2027, but just make sure no one leaves. 3. Get a real WR1. Yes they should still keep Metcalf as the WR2 but they need a real young, great WR1. I would say George Pickens as he is on an expiring contract, but I don’t know if he would want to go to the Steelers again. The next best option is Alec Pierce, but he’s not WR1 worthy yet. The draft? No I think they should just draft Mansoor Delane. Trade for Tee Higgins, or another open WR for trade, like AJ Brown, or maybe Garret Wilson. Any of those 3 would be a clear cut WR1 for the Steelers and that would help their offense immediately. Step 4: Put in extra work for Jaylen Warren. Jaylen Warren is such a great RB, and he is severely underrated. If Warren can put in the work he could be a superstar in this league. Step 5: Biggest step of all Get a new QB: There is so many teams vying for a new QB, and Mac Jones is the #1 target. But guess what I think he should go to the Steelers. Mike Tomlin would do so well with Jones, and I think he is a great QB who would fit this system very well. Aaron Rodger’s is retiring, and I don’t think they should waste a pick on a QB when Jones is right there. With this, I think they are AFC contenders.
