16 NFL Offenses Ranked After the 2025 Draft Changes
The offensive landscape across the NFL has shifted again, like it always does. But this time with a twist of youth, bold coaching moves, and a few eyebrow-raising trades. Rookie quarterbacks are being handed the keys before the engine’s even warmed up, while veterans try to keep pace in ever-evolving schemes.
With the draft behind us and minicamps stirring up headlines, it’s the perfect time to check the temperature of every offense across the league. Here’s a full look at where every offense stands based on talent, depth, continuity, and upside.

When your quarterback competition is between Tyler Shough and Spencer Rattler, you know you’re rebuilding. The O-line is young and unsteady, Alvin Kamara’s role keeps shrinking, and outside of a few bright spots, this group looks like it’s starting from scratch. Kellen Moore has a serious challenge on his hands.

The Browns hit the reset button. There’s no Deshaun Watson or Nick Chubb, and the offense looks more like a tryout than a unit. Joe Flacco, Kenny Pickett, and a pair of rookies are all in the mix at quarterback, and the backfield is led by unproven rookies. Welcome to Year Zero.

Russell Wilson and Jameis Winston might be the most chaotic QB room in football. Meanwhile, rookie Jaxson Dart waits in the wings. Malik Nabers brings instant juice, but if the Giants keep delaying the future, it’ll be hard for this group to gain any real momentum. Until Dart starts, it’s hard to get excited.

Aaron Rodgers still hasn’t said yes, and without him, this group feels stuck. DK Metcalf arrives, but George Pickens and Najee Harris are gone. The line’s in shuffle mode again, and there’s no clear identity at quarterback. Until someone takes charge, expect more sputtering than surging.

Gone are the days of airing it out to DK and Lockett. Sam Darnold gets a fresh start, but with questions at receiver, health concerns for Cooper Kupp, and a whole new playbook, Seattle looks like a team searching for identity. The defense may have to keep them in games until they find it.
27. Denver Broncos

Same quarterback, similar scheme, and draft picks that left more questions than answers. Bo Nix is back for Year Two, but there’s no buzz around this group. R.J. Harvey and Pat Bryant could surprise fans, but “surprise” seems to be the only plan right now. Sean Payton will need all his coaching wizardry to push this offense past average.
26. Arizona Cardinals

Kyler Murray needs to connect more often with Marvin Harrison Jr., who underwhelmed in usage last year. The talent is unquestionable, but the scheme didn’t do him many favors. If creativity increases and targets rise, Arizona’s offense could look far more modern—and productive—this fall.
25. New York Jets

Justin Fields and Breece Hall are on a run-first offense, which sounds fun if you like 19-16 games. The line’s improved, and Garrett Wilson is still a star, but Fields has to prove he can run and throw on schedule. The pieces don’t quite fit yet—but they’re all on the table.
24. Tennessee Titans

Cam Ward begins his NFL career with a fresh set of weapons and a reworked offensive line. Veterans like Tyler Lockett help ease his transition. The Titans are rebuilding from the ground up, and Ward will take lumps. They’ll be more competitive but still near the bottom in total output.
23. Carolina Panthers

Bryce Young’s reboot starts with a new WR1 in Tetairoa McMillan, who brings the kind of physical presence the offense lacked. There’s more depth, and the line’s improved, but Young has to show he belongs. The leash may be short, but the hopes are still flickering.
22. New England Patriots

Drake Maye showed enough promise to believe in growth. Stefon Diggs and Kyle Williams overhaul a thin receiver room, and TreVeyon Henderson brings speed to the backfield. The line adds left tackle Will Campbell and two experienced veterans. Still not a shootout team—but they’ll make defenses work harder than before.
21. Houston Texans

It’s all up to the coaching staff to keep C.J. Stroud on flight. Christian Kirk replaces Stefon Diggs, and the line, well… let’s call it “in-progress” after trading Tunsil. If the system holds and the young guys click, there’s room for optimism. If not, this could be a regression year masked by highlights.
20. Las Vegas Raiders

On paper, this is weird. Geno Smith is at quarterback. Chip Kelly is calling plays under Pete Carroll. A rookie running back is taken in the top five. And somehow, it just might work. Brock Bowers gives them a unique tight end weapon, and there’s enough speed to keep things interesting. Chemistry will make or break this experiment.
19. Jacksonville Jaguars

Trevor Lawrence finally gets a true No. 1 in Travis Hunter. Pairing him with Brian Thomas Jr. gives Jacksonville an electric duo. But the scheme must adapt quickly, and the offensive line isn’t settled. Lawrence has no excuses left. The team has invested in him. Now, the results must follow.
18. Chicago Bears

Here come the Bears for real this time! Caleb Williams enters with more help than Justin Fields ever had. The new head coach, Ben Johnson, brings an actual NFL offense with him, and the line gets a makeover, and weapons abound. There’ll be growing pains, sure, but this unit might finally leave the league’s bottom tier behind and fast.
17. Minnesota Vikings

J.J. McCarthy finally takes the field after missing last year with a knee injury. The line has been reinforced, and the weapons are elite—Justin Jefferson, Jordan Addison, and T.J. Hockenson form a rare trio. If McCarthy stays healthy, the only limitation is experience. The ceiling is much higher than this.
16. Miami Dolphins

Tua Tagovailoa’s health determines everything. The speed remains with Tyreek Hill and Jaylen Waddle, but the offensive line isn’t built to last. Two second-round rookies will see real time early. If the line holds and Tua plays 17 games, this offense can still be electric. That’s a large condition.
15. Indianapolis Colts

Anthony Richardson needs polish, not flash. The Colts were solid last year, even without steady quarterback play. Tyler Warren is a smart addition, and the offensive line has internal replacements ready. Jonathan Taylor and the receiver trio provide balance. This group could overperform if Richardson improves his consistency.
14. Atlanta Falcons

Michael Penix Jr. gets the keys with top-tier talent around him—Bijan Robinson, Drake London, and Kyle Pitts. The pieces have long been in place, but quarterback stability never followed. With a new center and a rookie signal-caller, execution may be rocky early. Still, this team has serious upside.
13. Los Angeles Chargers

Throw it back to the 1970s—Jim Harbaugh has arrived with an attitude. Heavy sets, clock control, and a backfield built like a bulldozer. Justin Herbert won’t need to sling it 45 times a game anymore, which is fine because when he does, he’s got big targets and a clean pocket.
12. Tampa Bay Buccaneers

Don’t look further if you’re looking for a quietly stacked receiver room. The Bucs now boast Emeka Egbuka alongside Mike Evans, Chris Godwin, and rising slot threat Jalen McMillan. Baker Mayfield continues to thrive in pressure-heavy scenarios, and new coordinator Josh Grizzard seems to get how to keep Baker cooking—fast reads, tempo throws, and letting his guys make plays.
11. Philadelphia Eagles

Saquon Barkley’s record-setting usage will likely dip, but the offensive core remains. Jalen Hurts, A.J. Brown, and DeVonta Smith are a still-dangerous unit. Mekhi Becton’s loss at guard forces a competition, but the line overall remains strong. Expect the Eagles to stay physical and control pace, rather than chase numbers.
10. Los Angeles Rams

Goodbye Cooper Kupp, hello Davante Adams. The swap gives Matthew Stafford a new go-to, and Puka Nacua’s already proven he can do damage. The Rams won’t blow the top off games, but their experience, timing, and McVay’s system still make them a pain to defend, especially in the red zone.
9. Washington Commanders

Jayden Daniels has already shown star-level flashes. However, with Deebo Samuel and Laremy Tunsil added, this group is no longer short on talent. Offensive coordinator Kliff Kingsbury has tools he didn’t have in Arizona. The line looks settled, and the quarterback is thriving. This unit is rising fast.
8. Cincinnati Bengals

When Joe Burrow, Ja’Marr Chase, and Tee Higgins are on the field together, good things happen fast. But protection remains the Achilles’ heel. Swapping out Alex Cappa for Cody Ford feels like putting duct tape on a leaky boat. If Burrow can stay clean, expect fireworks. If not, we’ve seen how quickly this offense can go from feared to frustrated.
7. Dallas Cowboys

Dak Prescott finally gets some relief with George Pickens opposite CeeDee Lamb. The line transitions from legend (Zack Martin) to potential (rookie Tyler Booker), and there’s a refreshing variety in the backfield. They’ve kept the pieces they needed, shuffled in a few new ones, and somehow came out looking more balanced.
6. Detroit Lions

If you’re keeping score at home: Ben Johnson is out, and John Morton steps in as the Lions’ new offensive maestro. Jared Goff is still protected by one of the nastiest O-lines in football and gets to throw to a set of weapons most quarterbacks would envy. But early rhythm could be shaky, and a slower start wouldn’t be shocking with the play-caller change.
5. Kansas City Chiefs

Patrick Mahomes could be tossing passes to the cast of Sesame Street and still find a way to score. But the line’s left side is shaky, with rookie Josh Simmons still rehabbing and the guard spot unsettled. There’s depth in the receiver room, but time to throw might be Mahomes’ biggest challenge this year.
4. Buffalo Bills

No quarterback carries more on his shoulders than Josh Allen. He’s still one of the game’s three best, and his supporting cast, though young, offers room to grow. Keon Coleman, Dalton Kincaid, and James Cook need consistency, but a stable line and Allen’s improvisation keep Buffalo in the top tier.
3. Green Bay Packers

Jordan Love showed real growth last season, and now he gets a deep threat in rookie Matthew Golden to stretch the field. The offensive line also gets a boost with Aaron Banks helping inside, and there’s no shortage of reliable targets to throw to. With Love’s steady presence and Matt LaFleur’s smart play designs, the Packers look set to stay comfortably in the top 10.
2. Baltimore Ravens

Lamar Jackson is back in MVP shape and has DeAndre Hopkins as a new top target. The Ravens made some upgrades on the right side of the offensive line, but the rest of the unit stays mostly the same. They didn’t need a major overhaul—this was the league’s most efficient offense last season. Even with a small dip in performance, they still have more weapons and ways to win than most teams.
1. San Francisco 49ers

Christian McCaffrey and Brock Purdy are leading a strong group that still finished in the top four last season, even with major injuries. Now, rookie Ricky Pearsall joins the mix as another option, and Brandon Aiyuk keeps getting better. Kyle Shanahan’s system still makes life easier for quarterbacks. Losing Deebo Samuel hurts, but thanks to continuity, depth, and versatility, this offense is built to stay elite.
