Which teams have the most high-end talent? That's the question I wanted to answer when I set out to rank every team based on its blue-chip players, which is how general managers and personnel directors grade the best in the league. The results were interesting and telling in many cases.
Here's how I came up with my list: Using the ESPN #NFLRank player rankings as a base line, I expanded our top-100 list to look at where the next 100 players ended up. Then, after talking to people across the league, I added and subtracted several players who I think are better -- and worse -- than where they ended up in the top 200 of #NFLRank. Then I added them all up for each team and put them in order. There were several ties, so I put them in a subjective order based on which rosters I thought were the best. I didn't add kickers or punters because the difference between the top end and the middle isn't substantial enough.
One thing to keep in mind: Just because a player is a blue-chip talent doesn't mean he's a blue-chip player. The perfect example of this is the Texans' Jadeveon Clowney, who hasn't been on the field enough in his first two seasons to warrant being on this list. There's no doubt the former No. 1 overall pick has the talent to ascend this season, though. I did, however, include two rookies on my list because I think they'll play so much this season that they'll already be among the top 10 at their position.
Let's get to my ranking, which will give you an idea of which teams are loaded to compete now, and which will be aiming to compete in the future.
1. New England Patriots (11)
Offense (5): Martellus Bennett, TE; Tom Brady, QB; Julian Edelman, WR; Rob Gronkowski, TE; Sebastian Vollmer, OL
Defense (6): Malcolm Butler, CB; Patrick Chung, S; Jamie Collins, LB; Dont'a Hightower, LB; Devin McCourty, S; Jabaal Sheard, DE
Where they stand: Bill Belichick has quietly put together a loaded roster, particularly on defense. Imagine how good the defense would be if the Patriots had kept pass-rusher Chandler Jones, whom they traded to Arizona. New England is built to win now and down the road. It picked up some steals in Butler, Sheard and Bennett.
What could change: Brady's four-game suspension and injuries hurt the Patriots' Super Bowl chances. Vollmer could miss the season with a shoulder injury, and Rob Ninkovich is trying to play with a torn triceps muscle. The Patriots need Jimmy Garoppolo to play well to start the season. Their young talent is all represented here.
2. Seattle Seahawks (10)
Offense (3): Doug Baldwin, WR; Jimmy Graham, TE; Russell Wilson, QB
Defense (7): Cliff Avril, DE; Michael Bennett, DE; Kam Chancellor, S; Richard Sherman, CB; Earl Thomas, S; Bobby Wagner, LB; K.J. Wright, LB
Where they stand: The Seahawks have a deep roster, though questions persist along the offensive line. The core group of defenders is in its prime, however, and Wilson hasn't yet peaked.
What could change: The Seahawks could still rise. All starters are signed at least through 2017. Halfback Thomas Rawls and wide receiver Tyler Lockett could graduate into the elite class by next season. They are developing promising defensive players such as Frank Clark and Cassius Marsh, and the Hawks have a lot of faith in their 2016 draft class.
3. Arizona Cardinals (10)
Offense (5): Larry Fitzgerald, WR; Mike Iupati, OL; David Johnson, RB; Carson Palmer, QB; Jared Veldheer, OL
Defense (5): Deone Bucannon, LB; Calais Campbell, DT; Chandler Jones, OLB; Tyrann Mathieu, S; Patrick Peterson, CB
Where they stand: General manager Steve Keim has done a masterful job of reloading the offense for coach Bruce Arians. Keim put three studs on the offensive line, grabbed Palmer in a trade and hit gold drafting Johnson in the third round. The Cardinals are in win-now mode, though. If Palmer gets hurt, they could be in trouble.
What could change: Age is creeping up on Palmer, Fitzgerald and Campbell, the core group of Cardinals. There is always the worry about a Palmer injury, but the team extended him through 2018. Mathieu is coming off an ACL injury, but he has bounced back from the same injury before. Keep an eye on wide receiver John Brown, who could have a big season.
4. Cincinnati Bengals (10)
Offense (5): Andy Dalton, QB; Tyler Eifert, TE; A.J. Green, WR; Andrew Whitworth, OL; Kevin Zeitler, OL
Defense (5): Geno Atkins, DT; Vontaze Burfict, LB; Carlos Dunlap, DE; George Iloka, S; Adam Jones, CB
Where they stand: The Bengals have been drafting well for years, and they are aggressive in extending players to second and third contracts. Dalton works behind a top-notch offensive line and has two key weapons in Green and Eifert. The Bengals also have done a great job building a defense that is stellar from top to bottom. All of this talent hasn't led to playoff wins, though.
What could change: Whitworth and Zeitler, who are both in the last year of their contracts, could drop off this list. As could Jones, who turns 33 this season. Coach Marvin Lewis has been losing key coaches such as Jay Gruden, Hue Jackson and Vance Joseph to job promotions, and that has caused a brain drain on the staff.
5. Green Bay Packers (10)
Offense (6): Randall Cobb, WR; Eddie Lacy, RB; T.J. Lang, OL; Jordy Nelson, WR; Aaron Rodgers, QB; Josh Sitton, OL
Defense (4): Ha Ha Clinton-Dix, S; Mike Daniels, DE; Clay Matthews, OLB; Sam Shields, CB
Where they stand: Rodgers has to feel great about this season. Nelson has returned from injury to give the QB a downfield threat. Lacy looks much improved, and the defense has quietly reloaded in the secondary. Matthews' return to outside linebacker should get him back to his best.
What could change: The Packers need to win now. Three starting offensive linemen, including Lang and Sitton, are free agents, and Green Bay can't keep everyone. Offensive tackle David Bakhtiari, just 24, could be on this list soon.
6. Denver Broncos (10)
Offense (3): Russell Okung, OL; Emmanuel Sanders, WR; Demaryius Thomas, WR
Defense (7): Chris Harris Jr., CB; Brandon Marshall, LB; Von Miller, OLB; Aqib Talib, CB; T.J. Ward, S; DeMarcus Ware, LB; Derek Wolfe, DE
Where they stand: The Broncos have to lean on their defense this season -- again. Despite losing Malik Jackson and Danny Trevathan, defensive coordinator Wade Phillips is left with seven top-level defenders.
What could change: Denver hopes running back C.J. Anderson can break out and that quarterback Trevor Siemian -- or potentially first-round pick Paxton Lynch -- can manage the offense. Thomas has been targeted more than 140 times in each of the past four seasons, but his production could be down in 2016 if the Broncos run more, as is expected.
7. Kansas City Chiefs (10)
Offense (4): Jamaal Charles, RB; Travis Kelce, TE; Jeremy Maclin, WR; Mitchell Schwartz, OL
Defense (6): Eric Berry, S; Tamba Hali, OLB; Justin Houston, OLB; Derrick Johnson, LB; Marcus Peters, CB; Dontari Poe, DT
Where they stand: The Chiefs are different than Andy Reid's teams in Philadelphia. This team is built to run the football and play good defense, though there are concerns about each aspect. Charles is returning from a knee injury, while Houston could miss a significant part of this season due to his own knee injury. Hali has also been limited in preseason.
What could change: The linebacking corps has been the strength of the defense, but Houston's status is up in the air, and Hali and Johnson aren't getting any younger. Expect a bigger role for former first-round pick Dee Ford, who had 4.5 sacks last season. Will Eric Fisher, who was picked No. 1 overall in the 2013 draft and just got a huge contract, ever crack this list?
8. Carolina Panthers (9)
Offense (5): Ryan Kalil, OL; Cam Newton, QB; Greg Olsen, TE; Jonathan Stewart, RB; Trai Turner, OL
Defense (4): Thomas Davis, LB; Luke Kuechly, LB; Star Lotulelei, DT; Kawann Short, DT
Where they stand: The Panthers remain one of the best and most balanced teams in the league, despite letting cornerback Josh Norman leave. They should be good for years to come, as long as Newton stays healthy. The front seven is loaded.
What could change: How much will Norman's absence affect the team? They could start two rookie cornerbacks. Their pass rush is suspect, too. Three players to watch who could make this list in future years: linebacker Shaq Thompson, and receivers Kelvin Benjamin and Devin Funchess.
9. Pittsburgh Steelers (8)
Offense (5): Le'Veon Bell, RB; Antonio Brown, WR; David DeCastro, OL; Maurkice Pouncey, OL; Ben Roethlisberger, QB
Defense (3): Cameron Heyward, DE; Ryan Shazier, LB; Lawrence Timmons, LB
Where they stand: Despite the suspensions of Bell and wide receiver Martavis Bryant, the Steelers are loaded enough on offense to make a Super Bowl run. Roethlisberger and Brown could break records in the years to come, but the quarterback must stay healthy. The Steelers have tried to build up their secondary in the past two years.
What could change: Of the eight players listed, only Roethlisberger and Timmons are older than 28. The Steelers' core is young and talented. Again, though, Roethlisberger must stay on the field. Bryant was on his way to stardom before he was banned from the league for a minimum of one year.
10. Oakland Raiders (8)
Offense (6): Derek Carr, QB; Amari Cooper, WR; Rodney Hudson, OL; Latavius Murray, RB; Kelechi Osemele, OL; Donald Penn, OL
Defense (2): Khalil Mack, OLB; Sean Smith, CB
Where they stand: General manager Reggie McKenzie has brought this team to playoff level, and the AFC West is winnable this season. The offense is electric with a rising, young quarterback, and the offensive line is one of the best in the league.
What could change: If Michael Crabtree has another 85-catch season, I'd put him on this list. Same with free-agent addition Bruce Irvin, if he reaches 10-plus sacks. Suspended pass-rusher Aldon Smith has the talent, but he has to get on the field. Rookie safety Karl Joseph is a potential All-Pro.
11. Buffalo Bills (8)
Offense (5): Cordy Glenn, OL; Richie Incognito, OL; LeSean McCoy, RB; Sammy Watkins, WR; Eric Wood, OL
Defense (3): Ronald Darby, CB; Marcell Dareus, DT; Stephon Gilmore, CB
Where they stand: The Bills are more talented than given credit. Their offensive line has three top pieces, and quarterback Tyrod Taylor is knocking on the door to becoming a top player. At least he could be paid that way if the Bills pick up his option for next year. There is enough talent to make a wild-card run this season.
What could change: The season is already headed toward disaster. Dareus is suspended for four games and has entered a rehabilitation facility. Linebackers Shaq Lawson and Reggie Ragland, the team's top two draft picks who were both declared starters shortly after the draft, suffered serious injuries. And the Bills cut ties with running back Karlos Williams, who at times last season looked like a future star. Coach Rex Ryan can't catch a break.
12. Dallas Cowboys (8)
Offense (7): Dez Bryant, WR; Ezekiel Elliott, RB; Travis Frederick, OL; Zack Martin, OL; Tony Romo, QB; Tyron Smith, OL; Jason Witten, TE
Defense (1): Sean Lee, LB
Where they stand: The drafting of Elliott should bring excitement to the offense after an abysmal 2015 season. I think he's going to have a big season, and he's the favorite to win offensive rookie of the year. Once again, the Cowboys' offense isn't the problem -- even with Romo missing part of the season because of a back injury; the defense could be among the league's worst.
What could change: Besides Witten and Romo, who are both reaching the end of their career, the other players on this list are young and ascending. The offensive line is built to last. Byron Jones, Dallas' first-round pick in 2015 who flashed potential last season, is a player to watch. Jones could have a big season now that he's playing safety full time.
13. New York Giants (8)
Offense (3): Odell Beckham Jr., WR; Eli Manning, QB; Weston Richburg, OL
Defense (5): Damon Harrison, DT; Janoris Jenkins, CB; Jason Pierre-Paul, DE; Dominique Rodgers-Cromartie, CB; Olivier Vernon, DE
Where they stand: The Giants invested more than $200 million in contracts on defense. If Vernon, Harrison and Jenkins work out, the Giants' defense suddenly looks formidable. That's still a big "if," however. I don't expect the Giants to make the playoffs this season, but there's no doubt they have some building blocks.
What could change: Pierre-Paul needs a bounce-back season, and Rodgers-Cromartie is 30. The Giants' homegrown talent, meanwhile, is lacking. Safety Landon Collins, last year's second-round pick, is solid but not spectacular.
14. Philadelphia Eagles (7)
Offense (3): Lane Johnson, OL; Jason Kelce, OL; Jason Peters, OL
Defense (4): Connor Barwin, DE; Fletcher Cox, DT; Malcolm Jenkins, S; Mychal Kendricks, LB
Where they stand: The Eagles are top heavy with good starting players. They could be better than expected in 2016, but some of that depends on if Johnson's 10-game suspension is upheld. They don't have much depth there. Quarterbacks Sam Bradford is an enigma, and this could be his last shot to prove he's a starting-caliber signal-caller. New defensive coordinator Jim Schwartz should improve that unit.
What could change: The Eagles have questions at wide receiver and running back, though there are intriguing players. The offense could struggle to score. One young player I like: linebacker Jordan Hicks, who was a third-round pick last year. Hicks played well last season until a pectoral muscle injury ended his season.
15. Minnesota Vikings (7)
Offense (1): Adrian Peterson, RB
Defense (6): Anthony Barr, LB; Sharrif Floyd, DT; Everson Griffen, DE; Linval Joseph, DT; Xavier Rhodes, CB; Harrison Smith, S
Where they stand: Through great drafting and great coaching, the Vikings have one of the fastest-rising teams in football. Coach Mike Zimmer is building a defense that fits his vision -- great along the line of scrimmage, speed at linebacker and a tough secondary. Minnesota is a contender.
What could change: The jury is still out on quarterback Teddy Bridgewater. He needs to make a leap in 2016. Second-year wide receiver Stefon Diggs had a fast start to the 2015 season before his targets decreased. The defense is young and on its way to being great. I liked what I saw from linebacker Eric Kendricks last season.
16. Detroit Lions (7)
Offense (3): Marvin Jones, WR; Matthew Stafford, QB; Golden Tate, WR
Defense (4): Ezekiel Ansah, DE; DeAndre Levy, LB; Glover Quin S; Darius Slay, CB
Where they stand: The retirement of wide receiver Calvin Johnson was a huge loss, but the Lions might get by with Jones and Tate playing in a no-huddle offense run by Stafford. The defense has retooled at defensive tackle and is much improved in the secondary. They are a mystery team headed into 2016.
What could change: Detroit doesn't have much young talent. The Lions have to hope some of their 2016 draft picks turn the tide. And then there's a big decision looming about Stafford, who can be a free agent after the 2017 season.
17. Baltimore Ravens (7)
Offense (2): Joe Flacco, QB; Marshal Yanda, OL
Defense (5): C.J. Mosley, LB; Jimmy Smith, CB; Terrell Suggs, LB; Eric Weddle, S; Brandon Williams, DT
Where they stand: The Ravens are set for a bounce-back season. Flacco looks healthy. Despite one of the worst seasons for injuries of any team in the past several years, the Ravens stayed competitive in 14 of 16 games. Good health could turn last season's losses into wins.
What could change: The Ravens have a few aging starters who would have made this list a few years ago, including wide receiver Steve Smith Sr. and pass-rusher Elvis Dumervil. Weddle is 31, too, and was discarded by the Chargers.
18. Miami Dolphins (7)
Offense (3): Branden Albert, OL; Jarvis Landry, WR; Mike Pouncey, OL
Defense (4): Reshad Jones, S; Ndamukong Suh, DT; Cameron Wake, DE; Mario Williams, DE
Where they stand: The roster alone is good enough to win eight or nine games this season, but the Dolphins need to get out of the 8-8 rut.
What could change: Behind new coach Adam Gase, quarterback Ryan Tannehill could catch fire and jump to the next tier of quarterbacks. Wide receiver DeVante Parker also has the potential to join Landry as a top receiver, and first-round pick Laremy Tunsil could quickly become a top guard, though the Dolphins see his future at tackle. Williams was a risky signing.
19. New York Jets (7)
Offense (3): Matt Forte, RB; Nick Mangold, OL; Brandon Marshall, WR
Defense (4): Darrelle Revis, CB; Sheldon Richardson, DE; Muhammad Wilkerson, DE; Leonard Williams, DT
Where they stand: The emphasis is on defense. Todd Bowles has three great defensive linemen and a great but aging cornerback. Last season, Bowles set up what he wants to see from his defenders. The Jets won 10 games on an easy schedule, but the schedule should be much tougher this year.
What could change: Revis, Mangold, Marshall and Forte are in their 30s. If their games decline this year, the Jets could have a big drop from their 10-win season. They also haven't identified a quarterback who could take the reins from Ryan Fitzpatrick.
20. Houston Texans (6)
Offense (2): Duane Brown, OL; DeAndre Hopkins, WR
Defense (4): Brian Cushing, LB; Johnathan Joseph, CB; Whitney Mercilus, OLB; J.J. Watt, DE
Where they stand: This team will likely win more games than the 20th ranking suggests, but I'm not including running back Lamar Miller, quarterback Brock Osweiler nor linebacker Jadeveon Clowney on my list just yet. Miller and Osweiler have much to prove, while Clowney needs to stay on the field and produce. Houston will rely on all three this season.
What could change: The Texans could start the season without Watt and Brown because of injuries. Miller, Osweiler and Clowney could potentially make this list next year, meaning a huge rise for the Texans. Cornerback Kevin Johnson, a first-round pick in 2015, is another player to watch.
21. Washington Redskins (6)
Offense (4): Pierre Garcon, WR; DeSean Jackson, WR; Jordan Reed, TE; Trent Williams, OL
Defense (2): Ryan Kerrigan, LB; Josh Norman, CB
Where they stand: It seems wrong to see the defending NFC East champ below the divisions' others teams, but don't feel sorry for the Redskins. They have good players, but not as much top-end talent. Depending on quarterback Kirk Cousins' performance, they should be in the thick of the division race again in 2016.
What could change: Cousins could make this list with another 4,000-yard season, and Brandon Scherff could develop into one of the league's best young guards. If that happens, the Redskins would have six of their best players on offense. There could be turnover at receiver; Garcon and Jackson are free agents after the season.
22. San Diego Chargers (6)
Offense (3): Keenan Allen, WR; Antonio Gates, TE; Philip Rivers, QB;
Defense (3): Melvin Ingram, LB; Corey Liuget, DE; Jason Verrett, CB
Where they stand: Rivers remains one of the best quarterbacks in the league, but he needs more talent around him. A healthy Allen and Gates give him hope. There isn't a bad nucleus of defensive players. The AFC West is winnable, but the Chargers probably don't have enough to win eight games.
What could change: The offense could improve if running back Melvin Gordon lives up to his draft hype and if Travis Benjamin becomes a legitimate No. 2 wide receiver. Things could get worse if no star develops along the offensive line The Chargers invested a lot of money in Orlando Franklin and a high draft pick on D.J. Fluker. Talented first-round pick Joey Bosa could be a future stud, but he remains unsigned.
23. Atlanta Falcons (5)
Offense (4): Devonta Freeman, RB; Julio Jones, WR; Alex Mack, OL; Matt Ryan, QB
Defense (1): Desmond Trufant, CB
Where they stand: The Falcons are slowly building back their roster. The offensive line is better, particularly with the signing of Mack. Freeman stunned everyone with his explosiveness last season. Ryan should be better in his second season with offensive coordinator Kyle Shanahan.
What could change: The offensive line could make a huge jump if the Mack signing puts things over the top. Ryan Schraeder is becoming one of the best young right tackles. Jake Matthews has the talent to be a top left tackle. Left guard Andy Levitre could improve having Mack next to him.
24. Indianapolis Colts (5)
Offense (3): Dwayne Allen, TE; T.Y. Hilton, WR; Andrew Luck, QB
Defense (2): Vontae Davis, CB; D'Qwell Jackson, LB
Where they stand: With Luck back healthy, the Colts should be able to operate a 26-point-a-game offense. If so, they could vault back to the top of the AFC South. Running back Frank Gore remains a tough runner, but his age keeps him out of the top class of players. The Colts have a good three-receiver set and should be dangerous.
What could change: The Colts have to worry about the defense. Davis is a question mark for the start of the season because of injury, and Jackson isn't getting any younger. Dropoffs for Davis and Jackson could leave them without a top defensive player.
25. New Orleans Saints (5)
Offense (4): Terron Armstead, OL; Drew Brees, QB; Brandin Cooks, WR; Max Unger, OL
Defense (1): Cameron Jordan, DE
Where they stand: As long as Brees is the quarterback, the Saints will have a good offense. They are younger and talented at the wide receiver position, and the addition of Coby Fleener gives them a quality, pass-catching tight end. The NFC South is tough, however, and New Orleans' defense needs to improve a great deal. Carolina is going to be good for years to come.
What could change: Jordan is the Saints' only stud on defense, and they have been plagued with some key defensive injuries in preseason. New Orleans needs former first-round pick Kenny Vaccaro, a safety, to be much better. On offense, offensive lineman Andrus Peat, last year's top pick, should see more time in 2016.
26. Jacksonville Jaguars (5)
Offense (2): Allen Hurns, WR; Allen Robinson, WR
Defense (3): Tashaun Gipson, S; Malik Jackson, DT; Jalen Ramsey, CB
Where they stand: This team is on the rise, but it isn't there yet. By next season, it's not out of the question for the Jaguars to have eight to 10 top players. They have loaded up the defense, and quarterback Blake Bortles is primed for a big season on offense.
What could change: The defense could make a big jump if Dante Fowler Jr. and Myles Jack show flashes of stardom this season. I'm putting Ramsey on my list because I expect him to play well early and often. That would give the Jaguars a core of five potential Pro Bowl defenders. Bortles could also move into the top level of quarterbacks. If that happens, the Jaguars would be on the verge of having a playoff-caliber team.
27. Los Angeles Rams (5)
Offense (1): Todd Gurley, RB
Defense (4): Michael Brockers, DT; Aaron Donald, DT; Alec Ogletree, LB; Robert Quinn, DE
Where they stand: Coach Jeff Fisher has a quality defense and that shouldn't change. The question is what he has on offense. The Rams are thin at receiver and in transition at quarterback.
What could change: The roster would improve if Tavon Austin has a big year at wide receiver and former No. 2 overall pick Greg Robinson comes on at left tackle. It will take time for Jared Goff to establish himself, so the Rams -- and their fans -- will have to be patient.
28. Tampa Bay Buccaneers (5)
Offense (2): Mike Evans, WR; Doug Martin, RB
Defense (3): Kwon Alexander, LB; Lavonte David, LB; Gerald McCoy, DT
Where they stand: The Bucs are building things the right way. They spent 2014 and 2015 stocking up the offense, and they have a quarterback ready to ascend in Jameis Winston. They are slowly building a quality defense, but they need one more draft to fix up that unit.
What could change: If the Bucs made the right draft picks with defensive end Noah Spence and cornerback Vernon Hargreaves III, they could be one draft away from having one of the most improved defenses in football. They would have five top-level defenders. Their core is young.
29. Tennessee Titans (4)
Offense (1): Delanie Walker, TE
Defense (3): Jurrell Casey, DE; Derrick Morgan, OLB; Brian Orakpo, OLB
Where they stand: This could be a little misleading, but running backs DeMarco Murray and Derrick Henry don't make my list, and neither does Marcus Mariota, who needs to move into the top-15 group of quarterbacks. The Titans are trying to have a run-oriented offense, but let's see it in action first.
What could change: If the Titans run the ball as well as they hope, they could put Murray and Henry on the elite running back list. Mariota could also jump to the next level, and I think he's headed there. A good rushing season could also elevate the rating of left tackle Taylor Lewan.
30. Chicago Bears (4)
Offense (2): Alshon Jeffery, WR; Kyle Long, OL
Defense (2): Pernell McPhee, OLB; Danny Trevathan, LB
Where they stand: The Bears are in the middle of a three-year build-up of their defense. Jay Cutler is on the fringes of the top quarterback rankings, and another positive season could put him back there.
What could change: Running back Jeremy Langford, the Bears' ready-made replacement for Matt Forte, could have a breakout season. As could former top-10 pick Kevin White, who didn't play in 2015.
31. San Francisco 49ers (3)
Offense (1): Joe Staley, OL
Defense (2): NaVorro Bowman, LB; Eric Reid, S
Where they stand: The 49ers are rebuilding, but they are better than you think. They have several young draft choices -- particularly along the defensive line -- ready to emerge. Their offensive line also isn't bad.
What could change: DeForest Buckner and Arik Armstead could become top-level defenders soon. Their improved play would also raise the stock of nose tackle Quinton Dial, giving the 49ers the foundation of a quality defensive front seven.
32. Cleveland Browns (3)
Offense (2): Joel Bitonio, OL; Joe Thomas, OL
Defense (1): Joe Haden, CB
Where they stand: The Browns are in complete rebuilding mode, and it will take years to reach contending status. They lost a lot this offseason.
What could change: I don't think coach Hue Jackson will get Robert Griffin III back to the way Griffin played his rookie season with the Redskins, but he could still be decent. Wide receiver Josh Gordon has been among the elite level before, but he is dealing with a suspension, and he didn't come to camp in good shape. First-round pick Corey Coleman is promising, too. Tight end Gary Barnidge is on the fringes of being among the top tight ends.
