Three ESPN NFL analysts combined ballots for all 32 teams and put the Rams atop the 2026 preseason roster rankings, ahead of the Eagles, Seahawks, Bills and Ravens.
Los Angeles led on overall talent, age and production after an aggressive offseason, with reigning MVP Matthew Stafford coming off 4,707 passing yards and 46 touchdowns in 2025.
Philadelphia landed second behind its tackle duo, while defending champion Seattle ranked third despite running-back concerns after Kenneth Walker III left and Zach Charbonnet tore an ACL.
Buffalo and Baltimore rounded out the top five, with the Bills leaning on Josh Allen and the Ravens boosted by Kyle Hamilton-led safety play despite interior offensive-line questions.
At the bottom, Miami ranked 32nd in full rebuild mode, with Cleveland 31st and Arizona and Atlanta tied for 29th as analysts weighed each roster's strengths, weaknesses and X factors.
