saw the rankings and just wondered how yall thought it should be.

In my head, i saw things differently and tried to be as unbiased as i could. Tell me what you think.
My Rankings:
1. Steelers- barely lost anyone, still top tier
2.Colts-Lost Edge but will find a way to fill that hole. they have Payton and WRs, nothing esle matters
3.Panthers- have a huge threat at #2 receiver and Dellhome seems be improving all the time. Just need to find a healthy RB.
4.Pats- duh, its the Pats, they'll aways be up there.
5.Bengals- Carson was great and has room to do even better (and the WRs to help). Rudi gives them a legit threat on the ground and Def. is solid.
6. Jags- Not too much done with them this offseason, though i hate to admit it, they usually field a pretty decent team
7. Broncos- let Pryce go, but if Def. can stay healthy, and Bell do good by himself, they'll be alright.
8. Seahawks- lost key player in their line, but picked up burleson and Peterson. can't go wrong there.
9. Giants- If Eli can keep improving and if they still have a runningback named Tiki, its hard to go wrong. They could reallly use some LB crew though.
10. Cheifs- Barely missed Playoffs last year. have all the makings of a solid team. Priest will be back as well.
11. Dolphins- Culpepper will help them tremendously if he's back to his 2003 slef again. Jason Taylor and Chambers dont hurt their chances either.
12. Cowboys- decent, but not superbowl-bound. T.O. will help them alot. If Parcells can't tame him, no one can.
13. Bucs- Strong D and Cadilac coming into himself. should be good.
14. Bears- Defense wins games. Bears have it. Wins will hinge on if Rex will take the leadership pos. and if Thomas Jones keeps up with last year's #'s.
15. Redskins- good ST w/ addion of Randel El, beefed up WR corps. but their D seemed to be sub-par last couple games last year. Loosing Arrington didn't help.
16. Eagles- McNabb and Westbrook and only take you so far..
17. Falcons- sick front four including Kerney and Abraham. Only reservations are about longevity. Seemed to run out of gas at the end of the year.
18. Chargers- LT and Gates. nuff said. QB situation is still up in the air. P Rivers comeback?
19. Vikings- Brad Johnson showed good leadership coming in after Daunte and winning some games for the Vikes. WRs could be better.
20. Rams- improved D alot this offseason. Jackson is becoming a better back and holt, well, he's Tory Holt.
21. Browns- still could use a real QB. Dilfer doesn't count. Vast improvement personel-wise over last year.
22.Cards- still need some Oline help but, they got the Almighty Edge and great WRs.but i forget, do they even have a D?
23. Ravens- need to find a QB that isn't Bollinger. D is fine.
24. Titans- done well in FA this year, McNair still has a year left in him.
25. Saints- Brees, if his shoulder is alright after surgery, will help them alot. Desprately need some good D players. They'll be looking that way come draft day.
26. Texans- I honestly think this. FA has made all the difference in the world here and i really think that 6 wins is possible. Still need some help on the D side of the ball but O will look fine after the draft. (not even going into the whole draft debate).
27. Raiders- Who haven't the Raiders lost? they have Randy, but who's gonna throw him the rock? Woodson is gone too. Draft may improve them, may not.
28. Packers- honestly dont think that Favre is coming back. we'll see how much Aaron Rogers has soaked up from the guru in the #4 jersey. Also, staying off the injury list will help them alot.
29.lions- Joey HarringWHO? Kevin Jones was, for the most part, a bust. Cant see them with too many marks in the W column.
30. Bills- If they can make it through the off-season w/ enough players to field a team b/c of cap room, they may have a chance. Oh, and do you know J.P. Losman? Neither do i.
31. Jets- CMart is what? 83,84? His time is just about up. They lost their only decent player in Ty Law and wont be able to sign a superstar due to cap.
32. 49ers- Give away your only three decent players and what do you have? nothing. Alex Smith need to learn some more and they need some players. Hey, there next years draft right?
anyway, if you think different, let me know what you think it should be. Love to see what other people think.
