The Chicago Bears took a big step forward last year with their playoff performance and many are expecting them to continue progressing forward, but this offseason, particularly the NFL Draft, has not been great for the Bears and leaves us concerned about their improvement potential. Speaking of potential, people are always waiting on the Green Bay Packers to become the team they ae expected to be, but another mid offseason and Micah Parsons on the mend makes the Pack an uncertain bet. The Minnesota Vikings got better simply by improving at quarterback with Kyler Murray, but that doesn't mean it'll be enough. Finally, the Detroit Lions did what they needed to do this offseason, but the concern is still about coaching as Dan Campbell tries to rebound from losing his coordinators.

The Ravens add veteran Calais Campbell to the roster and the Texas extend Azeez Al-Shaair. The Jets pick up Will McDonald's fifth-year option. #calaiscampbell #azeezalshaair #willmcdonald 📢 Support Us By Supporting Our Sponsors! | Offers from our sponsors: lockedonpodcasts.com/offers Gametime Download the Gametime app, create an account, and use code LOCKEDON for $20 off your first purchase.

Miami Dolphins finally bulk up their offensive line with Kaden Proctor, signaling a more physical approach and potentially shifting the AFC East balance.

Cleveland Browns quarterback controversy heats up as Deshaun Watson emerges as the front-runner for QB1, but is his massive contract overshadowing the team's future plans?

The Denver Broncos made an incredible run last season, but the Bo Nix injury ruined any real shot they had at a Super Bowl appearance. Now, Nix is recovering and the concern about future issues is high in Denver it seems, but Nix is set to return for training camp, giving the Broncos as good of a chance as ever. The Kansas City Chiefs needed to re-tool the roster in a real way while they hoped Patrick Mahomes recovered quickly. Mahomes is on the mend nicely, but the Chiefs still haven't done enough to be a title favorite again. You wonder if this version of Kansas City will ever get back or if they are a sleeping giant this season. The Los Angeles Chargers felt like a team close to being special the last few years, but this year's offseason has hurt some of that buzz. The Chargers look like a competitive team, but they don't seem to have taken that step forward everyone was waiting on with their acquisitions. The Las Vegas Raiders took Fernando Mendoza like we all expected, but Kirk Cousins is in line to be the starter. There is just no way Mendoza is not the better player at this stage and the Raiders should stop kidding themselves.

The Steelers put the UFA Tag on Aaron Rodgers and the Panthers give Bryce Young his fifth-year option. The Jets could bring in Russell Wilson. #aaronrodgers #bryceyoung #russellwilson 📢 Support Us By Supporting Our Sponsors! | Offers from our sponsors: lockedonpodcasts.com/offers Gametime Download the Gametime app, create an account, and use code LOCKEDON for $20 off your first purchase.

The Philadelphia Eagles are looking to take a trip back to the Super Bowl this season and they look ready to fly after grabbing Makai Lemon in the first round and then using picks to obtain edge rusher Jonathan Greenard from the Minnesota Vikings. Even with the looming AJ Brown trade, the Eagles did what they needed to do to prepare themselves and still win the division. The New York Giants also had a fantastic draft, adding talent to an already talented roster. The Giants found a nice balance of readiness and potential. The Dallas Cowboys added two talented defenders to a unit that really needed it, but now the George Pickens situation seems stranger than ever. That would be a big dent in their offensive expectations. Finally, the Washington Commanders got their guy in Sonny Styles and may still be grabbing Brandon Aiyuk, but at some point you have to wonder if that would even be worth it due to his mysterious situation.

The Falcons hope they got a steal with Avieon Terrell and the Cowboys took three pass rushers in the NFL Draft. The Dolphins add Kadyn Proctor to the line. #avieonterrell #kadynproctor #dallascowboys 📢 Support Us By Supporting Our Sponsors! | Offers from our sponsors: lockedonpodcasts.com/offers Gametime Download the Gametime app, create an account, and use code LOCKEDON for $20 off your first purchase.
