2022 Preview

[Laimbeer40]

NFC CENTRAL

Chicago

QB: Wentz, M.Rudolph ©
RB: D.Harris, A.Abdullah, Juszczyk (C-)
WR: Deebo, D.Johnson, Aiyuk, Berrios (A)
TE: D.Schultz, D.Bellinger (A)
K: J.Sanders, Piniero (A)
DEF: (A)

... I made the mistake of underrating Chicago last season. QB and RB is still problematic However the rest of the squad is strong plus they have the Aaron Donald x-factor. 
-----------------

Detroit

QB: M.Ryan (B)
RB: E.Mitchell, Mostert, K.Herbert (C+)
WR: C.Kupp, Hardman, K.Osborn, K.Shakir (B+)
TE: Z.Ertz (B+)
K: G.Zeuerlein (A-)
DEF: (B-)

... I could see Matty Ice having a resurgent season and he plays in a division that is cheeks. Kupp, Ertz and Elijah Mitchell will be doing heavy lifting at the skill positions as DET is still working on their depth. This squad could make the playoffs with a solid defense alas they seem to be lacking in that category. 
-----------------

Green Bay

QB: Burrow (A)
RB: AJ Dillon, N.Hines ©
WR: A.Robinson, C.Godwin, K.Toney, I.McKenzie (A)
TE: B.Jordan, F.Moreau ©
K: J.Tucker (A+)
DEF: (B-)

... No work was done in free agency to help this squad so not sure if the owner is still active to be honest. The passing game is really solid. The two RB's they have aren't bad but they have zero beyond them. Justin Tucker is a GOAT. The defense lost a little luster with the odd Blake Martinez release. 
-----------------

Minnesota

QB: Tannehill (B-)
RB: M.Gaskin, T.Davis-Price, T.Montgomery (C-)
WR: S.Diggs, AJ Brown, McLaurin, N.Collins (A+)
TE: G.Everett ©
K: Gould (A)
DEF: (B+)

... Pretty solid squad here. RB has a lot of bodies but no bona fide starters. WR is fire and has excellent depth. Hope Tannehill doesn't lose his job to Malik Willis. Defense took a blow with Harold Landry's torn ACL but they should still be strong.
---------------

Tampa Bay

QB: Trubisky (C-)
RB: C.Edmonds, M.Gordon, M.Boone (B-)
WR: M. Jones, Q.Watkins, D.Eskridge, T.Sherfield (C-)
TE: D.Knox, Higbee, Tonyan (A)
K: M.Gay (A)
DEF: (A)

... Defense lost a little luster with Marcus Maye's gun charge but the rest of the D should be firing on all cylinders. Trubisky could struggle to keep his job. WR is pretty weak but TE is good and deep. 

WRAP-UP

- I don't see anyone running away with the division. Any of these teams could win it.
- Bears and Bucs defenses will keep them in the running. 
- Vikings aren't as strong on defense but the WR's could push them over the top.
- Lions and Pack lag behind. DET for lack of depth and GB for a potentially inactive owner
