ESPN released its post-draft power rankings yesterday, and believe it or not, they have the Patriots at the top.
The top two teams have switched places since we did this in February, which tells you our voters are huge fans of either Josh Norman or Jimmy Garoppolo. Seriously, the Pats have averaged 12.5 wins a year for the past 13 years, so no one’s going broke assuming they’ll be good. But … pass rush? Running game? The 2nd Circuit Court? Has this New England offseason really been that great?
However, with that said, this is the weirdest write-up of a number one team I’ve ever seen.
