22. Kansas City Chiefs

A team looking to rebuild after last seasons horrible ending which saw them lose the last nine games of their season. There is hope for the Chiefs as many say they might've had the best draft out of any team in the NFL. If Larry Johnson can stay healthy and John Brody Croyle can come into this season as the starting QB and be effective the cheifs will be better then last year. Their defense is they key to whether or not they will be successful or not because the Chiefs have many weapons on offense including Tony Gonzalez and Dwayne Bowe who is coming off a great rookie season.

23. Cincinnati Bengals

After a season that saw them underperform there is a lot of pressure this year on the Bengals to play football the way they can. Carson Palmer remains the starter and TJ Houshmandzadeh comes back after a stellar pro bowl season. Questions as always swirl around this team as now All Pro wideout Chad Johnson wants to be traded, he has stated he will not play at all this season if he doesn't get his wish. The Bengals may be ok especially if Rudi Johnson can stay healthy this season. If the defense can improve this season as well the Bengals could win 8 or 9 games this season.

24. Chicago Bears

The Bears return after an underperforming season. Rex Grossman is still the QB in Chicago but will he finally be effective? The Bears need more out of Cedric Benson who started to pick it up a bit at the end of the year last season before his season was ended early due to an injury. The defense as always will be the rock that holds this team up, Bears defensive leader Brian Urlacher wants a new contract, hopefully the Bears give him what he wants otherwise they could be in store for a long season with an unhappy Urlacher.

25. St. Louis Rams

    Um, ok....let me guess.....you drew the teams out of a hat, right?
    How did the chiefs, who tied with the Raiders, wind up 22, and the Raiders are at 30?
    You do realize, that even with last year, they split the series, and the Raiders outscored the Chiefs?
    And same goes for Denver.....I won't ask where you put them.....but it's time to go back to studying 2007 again.

      Well you obviously disagree with my rankings because you are a raiders fan, bottom line, the Chiefs have more weapons then the Raiders do on the offensive side. Thats how I made my rankings, I also included the draft into many of my rankings and the Chiefs had a better draft then the Raiders in my eyes, many say the Chiefs had a top 3 best drafts out of every team this year.

    Um, ok, Chiefs don't have a Quarterback.....they are a team rebuilding, and from the looks of it, it's a green team, not ecologically, but skills wise.....and you're thinking this Draft is going to suddenly make the Chiefs into a contender?
    Sounds like what they thought when they got rid of Green, and put the franchise in the hands of one Brodie Coyle....disaster waiting to happen.

    obviously I don't think they are going to become a contender if I put them in the 22nd spot. If you read what I wrote I said they were going to be better then last year, meaning they will win more then 4 games..

    You mentioned in your rankings that the Dolphins did not draft a QB. How do you expect anyone to trust your opinions when they simply are not factually accurate.
