Teams listed by draft order, minus trades.
32. Carolina Panthers
No winning streaks. No coach. No hope. The Panthers traded up for the No. 1 overall pick in 2023. They earned it the hard way for 2024. The really bad news, as you may have heard, is that it’s being shipped to Chicago. Coming off a season where they were merely mediocre, the Panthers regressed from 20th in scoring to dead last. Having surrendered the 14th most points in 2022, that number soared to fourth in 2023. There was no tangible improvement anywhere on the roster, including under center. That’s a real problem since Bryce Young was the first player off the board in the draft. Amongst the 82 rookie quarterbacks to attempt at least 150 passes since 2000, Young’s 2.1 touchdown percentage ranked 74th. Amazingly, he was “just” 27-of-30 in EPA. Against this backdrop it’s hardly unsurprising Frank Reich became the second Panthers coach in as many years to be dismissed mid-season by impetuous, domineering owner David Tepper. It all adds up to a big ol’ “best of luck” to Reich’s replacement, Dave Canales.

It was a classic “it’s unclear what we learned here” campaign, other than Rivera probably should have been let go last year. Basking in the post-Daniel Snyder afterglow, the Cs decided to let the dust settle before settling their other affairs. Everyone knows that’s the real story here. 2024 will be the “Commanders’” first Snyder-free offseason since 1998. It’s morning again in the capital of America. It could take some time, but nothing will ever be as long as the Snyder years.
30. New England Patriots
It was the era that could not stop ending. This time it counted. The Patriots’…
