NFL Power Rankings Poll: Buccaneers Rise, Patriots and Texans Fall in Offseason Edition

We've now crossed a few of the NFL's major offseason milestones. And while much of the remaining offseason is in flux, one thing is a certainty in this world ... power rankings!

Three teams tied for the biggest jump, with the Bucs, Eagles and Lions all jumping seven spots. And the Browns and Cardinals came up six each. So it's not just about signing Tom Brady, or even upgrading QB.
