A big part of determining which NFL teams are set up for future success is looking at how much young talent is on each roster. It's important for a couple of reasons. Young players are still developing and could become even better, more productive players as they hit their peak years. They also come on cheap rookie contracts that help teams stay under the salary cap and give them room to sign older veteran free agents.
This year, the team with the most valuable young core might be obvious: the Texans. C.J. Stroud has already shown he can succeed in the NFL but still has a few years left on his rookie contract.
