Over the years, the fine NFL analysts over at ESPN have always done a variety of preseason rankings prior to the start of the new season. These rankings usually focus on specific position groups and coaching staffs, but some of their bigger exercises include variations of offensive and defensive units i.e., skill positions, secondaries, front sevens, etc.
On Monday morning, Bill Barnwell released the first edition of his “offensive weapons” rankings, which takes into account the skill players that teams are able to surround their quarterbacks with. After being considered one of the best teams over the last two seasons, offensively and defensively, the Rams offense took a bit of a hit after they lost both Brandin Cooks and Todd Gurley this offseason.
