Examples:
- Adebo became one of PFF's highest-graded corners in the league after a tough time staying healthy.
- Cincinnati grabbed the first rookie receiver off the board, giving Kyler Murray a big-time playmaker
- Collins stepped up his game for C.J. Stroud and showed he can be both a downfield playmaker and strong third-down converter.
- Denver kept Bolles in-house to protect Brock Purdy
- Flowers and Justin Fields could build a similar relationship in Green Bay.
- Highsmith has grown into an excellent pass rusher in Pittsburgh and fits the Dolphins' scheme well.
- Jacobs missed four games due to injury but is still one of the league's top rushing/receiving threats at the position.
- Johnson is a third-year player looking to enter the upper echelon of NFL edge rushers and fits well in Pittsburgh
- Lindstrom is a strong and agile player who can build a strong line in front of Geno Smith.
- Olave has eclipsed 1,000 yards receiving in each of his first two NFL campaigns but his touchdown total remains modest and he's due to be a bigger factor in the red zone
- Oliver is exactly the type of penetrating 3-technique the Bears want on their interior
- Pickens led the NFL with 18.1 yards per reception last year and is a big-play receiver Tua Tagovailoa needs to take advantage of
- Ridley's performance backed up his belief that he could return to form after a year and a half away from the game
- Robinson had 272 touches as a rookie, looking at times like a star in the making
- Stingley has the potential to be an elite cover man if he stays healthy.
- Tampa Bay took a shot on Darnold who some believe is due for a strong year as a starter.
- The Browns landed Metcalf, who averaged 16.9 yards per catch last season and already has 43 receiving touchdowns through five seasons.
- The Cowboys will look for a powerful guard like Dotson to dominate in the run game after losing Tyler Smith.
- The Jets hope Thomas returns to health after missing 10 games to a foot injury last season
- The Texans are happy they drafted C.J. Stroud but Levis could have also been in the conversation.
- Thibodeaux took a step forward in Year 2 and improved from four to 11.5 sacks last season.
- Williams broke out with the Rams in 2023, accounting for 1,350 yards of total offense and 15 total scores
- Year 2 is key for Young to fulfill his promise as a passer.
