00:00Every year for the NFL I think sometimes we can get a little bit too caught up in

00:05okay well this and then this and what what about this thing and the schedule and that

00:10so this segment all about simplifying who's got the most talent let's figure it out who are the

00:17five most talented teams in the National Football League going into this upcoming season

00:22The NFL provides us with a lot of opportunities to analyze and overanalyze and overanalyze

00:34sometimes it just comes down to who's got more talent than the other and so today we're going

00:40to go through and pick the top five teams with the most talent in the NFL and we begin at number

00:46five I I put them in initially and I just I fought it and I fought it and everywhere I looked it's

00:52like well no no they're better than that no no they're better than that no no they're better

00:57than those guys it's the Denver Broncos they had the best defensive EPA per play last year

01:03um solid at basically all the skill positions um RJ Harvey getting some buzz as a rookie uh after they

01:10they drafted him JK Dobbins I still think is something Bo Nix is certain oh I was gonna say

01:15he's the worst quarterback on that list undecided for one and maybe that's giving away one of the

01:19teams on here but um he's up there with the worst quarterbacks on this list but he is good enough

01:25to be able to get all of those out there I think coaching wise I will begrudgingly admit Sean Payton

01:29is very good at it but they with a lot of teams on here it's the defense that wins it over when you

01:34just look at every position that they have um that they have the best DB in the game right now

01:38in Patrick Sertan so I I just look at them as one that was kind of undeniable even though they don't

01:45have the big first round draft picks for fantasy football on their team skill position wise it's

01:50just solid everywhere and so I have the Denver Broncos as my number one team in the end or sorry

01:57my number five team number five uh most talented team in the NFL uh number four I have the Buffalo

02:03Bills maybe a bit lacking at skill position but again we've talked about it I think that a breakout

02:08is coming for Keon Coleman and for Dalton Kincaid Josh Allen is at worst the second best quarterback

02:13in the National Football League James Cook is a really good running back and they have a couple

02:17talented guys behind him the offensive line is strong defensively um Joey Bosa isn't what he used

02:22to be but he is like their fifth defensive line option they have done a very good job of kind of

02:29insulating things after Milano went down with an injury a couple years ago and it just sewered the

02:33whole defense they have really done a good job of building depth and building veteran but still

02:38talented depth around um I like a lot of pieces on this defense I don't love the coaching but

02:43overall in terms of on-field talent this is a really really good football team and so Buffalo

02:49cracks the list coming in at number four uh over in the YouTube chat hi Connor D hey thanks for uh

02:53popping by sorry I missed the chat of yours a couple of weeks ago um working with a few different

02:58um kind of platforms or programs to try to figure out um and make sure I can see all the chats and

03:03all the channels that were on and um missed yours so apologies that I missed that a couple of times

03:08ago but uh happy to have you here today and happy to see that the the chat came through um our middle

03:14team on the most talented rosters and uh this is the one where I was like well maybe Bo Nix isn't

03:18the worst quarterback on this list because we don't know what JJ McCarthy is but we know what the

03:22rest of the Minnesota Vikings are and they're very good they I thought going into the offseason

03:28you have a roster that is set this is a really good football team um just a phenomenally coached

03:34team on the defensive side with a lot of talent um obviously you have best wide receiver in the

03:39world in Justin Jefferson really strong running back in Aaron Jones there's a lot to like about

03:45this team why not just bring in Sam Darnold you know it works you know he's comfortable there and

03:50just roll with it they went the opposite they got that giant contract out or potentially giant contract

03:56out they're going with a rookie on a rookie deal and because of that they were able to spend more

04:01on what is a fantastic roster already and built a really really strong program and so like honestly

04:10if we knew what JJ McCarthy was and if JJ McCarthy is any semblance of what the guys who are the most

04:17behind him think he could be this team could have made number one that is how deep they are and how

04:22talented they are at so many different spots I really really really like this Minnesota Vikings team

04:27um at number two Kansas City Chiefs yes the um the the wide receiving room not exactly what you want

04:38but this is still a a team that has the best quarterback in the National Football League uh

04:45and according to my list if you want to go check it out now um the best player in the National Football

04:50League you have a motivated legend as a tight end and a pretty good backup behind him and I think with

04:56Rasheed Rice coming back I'm not going to talk about this all the time but with Rasheed Rice coming

04:59back this knocking stuff over here um this wide receiver room just slots so effectively I think

05:05they improved slightly on the offensive line and I think defensively it is just stud after stud at

05:12every position on the field and they are so difficult to score against unless you're the Eagles in the

05:17Super Bowl so I still have to put Kansas City as the number two most talented team in the NFL and

05:22at number one we talked about how they built a championship team last year I'm not going to go

05:26so far as to say and they might be better this year but this is a really damn good football team

05:31out in Philadelphia incredible talent like um Jalen Hurts probably what third best quarterback on here

05:38maybe fourth depending on progression of a couple of guys but definitely third best quarterback um on

05:42this list right now but perfect for this system Saquon Barkley second best player in the NFL

05:49according to my list maybe the best wide receiver room when you look at AJ Brown Devonta Smith they

05:55just added Mechie as a really dangerous number three all reliable with Ertz at tight end offensive

06:01line stupid good defensive line they could rotate like do a full hockey line change on defense on the

06:07defensive line and still scare you they lost sweat at linebacker but it's a really talented linebacking

06:12group and then you had DBs who are picking Patrick Mahomes off for pick sixes in the Super Bowl like

06:17it's just everywhere you look on this team it's scary good this is I think without a doubt the most

06:24talented football team in the National Football League right now they are the best built team

06:29in the National Football League right now love everything I am seeing with them uh that's that

06:33that's where I have them they are the number one team in all the land in the National Football League

06:38so to recap I just a couple quick honorable mentions I guess um Green Bay was right there for me I just

06:44couldn't get there with the the defense wasn't quite up to snuff with the rest of these groups

06:48although you could argue their offense has more talent than a couple of teams on here depending

06:53on what you think of um of Jordan Love um Baltimore you can obviously get pretty close to that it's just

07:00the defense I have some concerns about um I just had a couple of spots that kind of kept them off of

07:06this list and a couple of teams that I just you don't love the quarterback for like Pittsburgh I think

07:10has a ton of talent everywhere and I think they are very worthy of making this list I think Chargers

07:17uh the quarterback doesn't keep them off but there's a couple things on defense that I don't love

07:22some of the losses they had but they were really close like there are some really good teams right now

07:26but your top five Denver Buffalo Minnesota Kansas City and the Philadelphia Eagles um we are going to

07:34continue with the NFL talk throughout the offseason and then full bore five days a week when it comes
