The NFL Draft is over, and Colin Cowherd is again with one other Herd Hierarchy, rating his high 10 groups within the NFL.
Few shall be stunned that each one three groups atop Cowherd’s listing are among the many 4 squads that made their respective convention championship video games final season, together with the now two-time defending Tremendous Bowl champion Kansas Metropolis Chiefs.
However Cowherd is just not almost as excessive on the group that took the Chiefs to extra time in that Tremendous Bowl — the San Francisco 49ers.
Here’s a have a look at Cowherd’s high 10 now that the mud has settled on the 2024 NFL Draft, with odds from FanDuel Sportsbook.
10. Los Angeles Chargers
Tremendous Bowl odds: +5000
Cowherd’s ideas: “Justin Herbert and Jim Harbaugh are nice, however they misplaced numerous offense — Austin Ekeler, Keenan Allen, Mike Williams, Gerald Everett. They misplaced productive, veteran dudes. I like [Ladd McConkey], I like Joe Alt — each good picks. They received Hayden Hurst, they received J.Ok. Dobbins and Gus Edwards, however I do not suppose they are going to be fairly as deadly offensively. However I like the coach, I like the quarterback, and I like their offensive tackles.”
9. Houston Texans
Tremendous Bowl odds: +1600
Cowherd’s ideas: “I could also be flawed. They might be greater than this. I simply love the best way they’re run. I appreciated their draft. I appreciated their free agent strikes — Stefon Diggs, Danielle Hunter, Joe Mixon. The final two years in personnel, they’ve finished in addition to anyone on this league. … I like the best way they’re coached, their quarterback, their entrance workplace.”
8. Philadelphia Eagles
Tremendous Bowl odds: +1400
Cowherd’s ideas: “Offensively, the group’s stacked, with or with out Jason Kelce. They’ve star receivers, a star tight finish, and now Saquon Barkley as a star working again round Jalen Hurts. They’ve new coordinators, and I simply need to watch that unfold. A few years in the past, I liked their coordinators. Final yr, I did not like their coordinators. Let’s have a look at the place they land this yr.”
7. Buffalo Payments
Tremendous Bowl odds: +1300
Cowherd’s ideas: “I am not having Josh Allen out of my high 10. I believed that they had one other glorious draft. Stefon Diggs was finished there. Oh, they misplaced Gabe Davis — you by no means knew what you had been getting with Gabe Davis. And so they went out and drafted Keon Coleman. If we will give Kansas Metropolis credit score for his or her star receiver within the draft, why cannot I give Buffalo credit score for theirs? I’ve the Payments nonetheless hovering across the Tremendous Bowl bubble.”
6. San Francisco 49ers
Tremendous Bowl odds: +550
Cowherd’s ideas: “They get Talanoa Hufanga again at security, they usually did handle some secondary stuff this offseason. That they had 9 Professional Bowlers that each one return from final yr, they usually went and drafted two receivers, together with Ricky Pearsall within the first spherical. They’re most likely gonna transfer off Deebo Samuel. However — and I’ve mentioned this — I believe they peaked final yr. I believed that was the most effective of them.”
5. Inexperienced Bay Packers
Tremendous Bowl odds: +1900
Cowherd’s ideas: “I like the Packers. I do not suppose they fairly have the roster of Detroit, however I like them. Josh Jacobs is possibly the most effective or second-best working again within the league. They allowed the third-fewest sacks within the league. This group drafts in addition to anyone. … The Packers and Tampa Bay Buccaneers had the most effective first 4 picks of anyone within the draft.”
Herd Hierarchy: Chargers, Lions, Rams take an enormous leap in Colin’s Prime 10 post-draft
4. Los Angeles Rams
Tremendous Bowl odds: +3200
Cowherd’s ideas: “I believed that they had an unbelievable first 4 picks. 4 guys who will begin — Blake Corum will not begin, however he’ll play a ton behind Kyren Williams. All my govt buddies on this league scouts thought the Rams crushed it, they usually crushed final yr’s draft, too. They misplaced Aaron Donald, however they went and actually received the 2 gamers they focused. Jared Verse is the man. … I believe if Matthew Stafford is wholesome, this group goes to be glorious.”
3. Detroit Lions
Tremendous Bowl odds: +1300
Cowherd’s ideas: “I believe they’ve a stacked roster. I believe they’re the Niners, however with youthful gamers and a extra proficient quarterback. They had been No. 3 in whole offense, No. 2 in passing offense. They’ll play from behind. They’ll play with the lead. They received to the convention championship for the primary time since 1991. … Their massive subject final yr, like Philadelphia, was that they had been getting torched at cornerback. They addressed each cornerback spots.”
2. Baltimore Ravens
Tremendous Bowl odds: +950
Cowherd’s ideas: “They had been the most effective group for a lot of the common season. Why would not I like them? They went and received Derrick Henry. That they had a disappointing postseason, however they rolled groups within the common season final yr. There is not any purpose to not like them. Lamar Jackson is in his prime and the teaching employees is nice.”
1. Kansas Metropolis Chiefs
Tremendous Bowl odds: +600
Cowherd’s ideas: “They’re on the high till any person knocks them off. Travis Kelce and Chris Jones signed extensions. Xavier Worthy, I do not understand how good he’ll be — he worries me along with his small measurement as a monitor man — but when anyone’s going to make it work, it will be Kansas Metropolis. They added Hollywood Brown. If Rashee Rice returns, I believe their receiving core shall be rather more worthy of acclaim than it was final yr, and final yr was the yr to beat them.”
