Most improved NFL team in each division for 2018/PFF

[www.profootballfocus.com]

With the exception of a handful of quality free agents still left on the market, the offseason craziness has come to a close. That means it’s time to examine which teams capitalized over the last couple months and set their rosters up for success heading into 2018. These are the teams in each division who improved the most with their free agent and draft selections this offseason.

West

Los Angeles Rams

Key Additions: DT Ndamukong Suh, WR Brandin Cooks, CB Aqib Talib, CB Marcus Peters, Edge Ogbonnia Okoronkwo

Key Losses: CB Trumaine Johnson, WR Sammy Watkins, Edge Robert Quinn, LB Alec Ogletree, Edge Connor Barwin

For all the money Trumaine Johnson has and will be paid, he never had a season graded above 81.0 in his entire career. You’d have to go back to 2015 to find the last time either Peters or Talib graded below 81.0. To say they upgraded their cornerback room is an understatement.

The Rams‘ loss of Sammy Watkins looked as if it could be critical as his deep threat ability keyed a lot of what the Rams did underneath in 2017. That loss was all but completely mitigated when they traded for Brandin Cooks – arguably the league’s most productive deep receiver last year. Cooks’ 608 yards on deep passes were more than Watkins had total last year.
