Projecting Every NFL Team's Starting Lineup 🔮

Rookie WRs Who Will Outplay Their Draft Value 📈
1. Green Bay Packers:
The Packers have arguably the best quarterback in the league at only 27 years of age. The roster is littered with stud youngsters such as Clay Matthews, BJ Raji and Jermichael Finley. The Packers will need to improve their offensive line as Rodgers gets older and less elusive but their overall mix of talent and youth is easily the best in the league.
2. Tampa Bay Buccaneers:
The Buccaneers are in great shape with one of the youngest teams in the league led by the best young quarterback in the league. They are going to be competitors in the NFC South now and for years to come. Josh Freeman is incredible while Donald Penn is still relatively young protecting his blindside. LeGarrette Blount and Mike Williams will carry the offense with Freeman over the next few years making them an NFC powerhouse.
3. New England Patriots:
Even though the Patriots are very reliant on an old quarterback right now he doesn't look like he's slowing down while they have a very talented young roster overall. Not to mention a few future draft picks. It's too early to commit to Brian Hoyer as it's definitely too early to commit to Ryan Mallett as Brady's successor, but the overall talent in the team is astounding as you would expect from their drafting over the years.
4. St. Louis Rams:
The Rams are set at quarterback and left tackle which is vital for their offense for the next decade or so. Defensively they have improved every season since Steve Spagnuolo took over. Being in the NFC West affords them the chance to get to the playoffs with ease this year. The Rams will need to replace Steven Jackson but the defense has a solid base for the future with James Laurinitis, Chris Long and Robert Quinn in the front seven.
5. Detroit Lions:
The Lions have picked up so much talent from their years of picking in the Top 5 of the NFL draft and it is finally coming together. Matthew Stafford may not have gotten on the field enough yet but he is still only 23. Ndamukong Suh has already announced himself as an all-pro tackle while the arrival of Nick Fairley will give them a defensive line to match any in the league for this year and beyond. Their young secondary could flourish also with added pressure upfront.
