ESPN.COM pre draft power rankings. What yall think?

RANK    TEAM/RECORD    COMMENTS
1
   Giants
9-7    The Giants have lost significant pieces from their Super Bowl team and won only nine regular-season games in 2011, but they are the defending champs. They will be the team to beat. (Fox)
2
   Patriots
13-3    Adding deep-threat receiver Brandon Lloyd could give the Patriots the NFL's most versatile passing attack. (Walker)
3
   Packers
15-1    Yet another quiet offseason for Ted Thompson as the Pack await help in the draft. (Clayton)
4
   49ers
13-3    All 11 defensive starters return from last season, with Aldon Smith expected to crack the lineup after 14-sack rookie season. (Sando)
5
   Ravens
12-4    QB Joe Flacco's strong finish in the playoffs gives the Ravens hope they can get over the championship hump. (Walker)
6
   Texans
10-6    Have lost a great deal: Mario Williams, Eric Winston, DeMeco Ryans and Mike Brisiel. (Kuharsky)
7
   Lions
10-6    The Lions have spent their free-agency period re-signing key free agents. (Clayton)
8
   Broncos
8-8    If healthy, Peyton Manning should lift all of the Broncos' boats. We've already got them as tops in the division and they'll still be adding pieces around him. (Kuharsky)
9
   Steelers
12-4    The salary cap crashed hard on the Steelers. But you can never count out this consistent franchise. (Walker)
10
   Bears
8-8    The Jay Cutler-Brandon Marshall combo will be hard for defenses to stop. (Clayton)
11
   Saints
13-3    Saints fell nine spots in rankings from last season, tied with Oakland for the biggest drop of any team. (Sando)
12
   Eagles
8-8    The Eagles finally have a quality middle linebacker in DeMeco Ryans, whom they stole from Houston. And they have a happy DeSean Jackson. (Fox)
13
   Falcons
10-6    Falcons have to like their chances with the Saints reeling from sanctions levied in the bounty scandal. (Sando)
14
   Cowboys
8-8    The Cowboys have filled some holes through free agency, but they have more work to do. Atop the list: finding another pass-rusher. (Fox)
15
   Chargers
8-8    They did a nice job recovering from Vincent Jackson's departure. But the head coach is still the same and until Norv Turner breaks through with the Chargers, a lot of people are going to presume he cannot. (Kuharsky)
16
   Titans
9-7    Added one veteran to both lines, but still need more help. (Kuharsky)
17
   Chiefs
7-9    Getting healthy will make a big difference for the Chiefs, who are under new leadership with Romeo Crennel. But is that enough to make up ground in the AFC West? (Kuharsky)
18
   Panthers
6-10    Can Cam Newton shatter expectations for a second season in a row? (Sando)
19
   Bengals
9-7    The Bengals haven't had back-to-back winning seasons in 30 years. But young guns Andy Dalton and A.J. Green aim to end the streak. (Walker)
20
   Jets
8-8    Tim Tebow-mania invades the Big Apple. But will Tebow help the Jets win games or cause a distraction? (Walker)
21
   Cardinals
8-8    Cardinals still hoping to win their bet on Kevin Kolb, but John Skelton will compete for the starting job. (Sando)
22
   Seahawks
7-9    Matt Flynn's acquisition in free agency gives the Seahawks fresh hope at quarterback for the first time in years. (Sando)
23
   Bills
6-10    The Bills are not done making improvements, but DE Mario Williams was a huge step in the right direction. (Walker)
24
   Buccaneers
4-12    Buccaneers jumped five spots in our rankings from last season after moving aggressively in free agency. (Sando)
25
   Redskins
5-11    By trading for the No. 2 pick in the draft, the Redskins and Mike Shanahan will finally have a legitimate quarterback around which to build. (Fox)
26
   Raiders
8-8    A new GM and a new coach are overseeing a roster that's been dented by a lot of salary-cap cuts. Carson Palmer's a question mark as they try to get it together. (Kuharsky)
27
   Jaguars
5-11    The defense is near championship caliber. The offense is an entirely different story. (Kuharsky)
28
   Dolphins
6-10    This once-promising team has been gutted by the front office. (Walker)
29
   Rams
2-14    Jeff Fisher, Dave McGinnis and Chuck Cecil fill the void left by defensive coordinator Gregg Williams' indefinite suspension. (Sando)
30
   Browns
4-12    The Browns can't run, throw or catch on offense. Other than that, they're fine. (Walker)
31
   Vikings
3-13    The Vikings officially are in rebuilding mode. (Clayton)
32
   Colts
2-14    Indianapolis could draft first again in 2013. Matt Barkley could bring a nice trade package.
