Starters Only


1. Detroit Lions - 78 Points


Detroit jumps to the top with one of the most complete offensive units in the division.


Offense


  • QB: 7

  • RB: 9

  • WR1: 9

  • WR2: 7

  • WR3: 5

  • TE: 8

  • OL: 6


Defense


  • DE/EDGE: 7

  • DT: 2

  • LB: 5

  • CB: 5

  • S: 5


Special Teams


  • K/P: 3


Why they rank here: Elite skill position talent and a high powered offense push Detroit to the top spot. The only real concern is the interior defensive line.


2. Green Bay Packers - 75 Points


Green Bay remains right behind with a balanced, steady roster.


Offense


  • QB: 8

  • RB: 7

  • WR1: 7

  • WR2: 4

  • WR3: 5

  • TE: 7

  • OL: 4


Defense


  • DE/EDGE: 7

  • DT: 4

  • LB: 4

  • CB: 5

  • S: 7


Special Teams


  • K/P: 6


Why they rank here: Consistency across the board keeps the Packers competitive, but they lack the elite offensive ceiling Detroit has.


3. Chicago Bears - 67 Points


Chicago has a solid offensive foundation but still needs defensive improvement.


Offense


  • QB: 7

  • RB: 7

  • WR1: 6

  • WR2: 5

  • WR3: 3

  • TE: 8

  • OL: 7


Defense


  • DE/EDGE: 3

  • DT: 4

  • LB: 7

  • CB: 3

  • S: 4


Special Teams


  • K/P: 3


Why they rank here: A strong offensive line and tight end group stand out, but major defensive weaknesses keep them in third.


4. Minnesota Vikings - 60 Points


Minnesota rounds out the division with multiple question marks.


Offense


  • QB: 5

  • RB: 3

  • WR1: 8

  • WR2: 5

  • WR3: 2

  • TE: 5

  • OL: 4


Defense


  • DE/EDGE: 5

  • DT: 4

  • LB: 5

  • CB: 5

  • S: 3


Special Teams


  • K/P: 6


Why they rank here: Top end receiver talent is there, but inconsistency at quarterback and along the offensive line limit them. Really a lot of holes on this roster.


Final NFC North Rankings


  1. Detroit Lions - 78

  2. Green Bay Packers - 75

  3. Chicago Bears - 67

  4. Minnesota Vikings - 60


Takeaway


Detroit takes control of the division heading into the season, but Green Bay is right behind. Chicago could surprise but on paper it doesn't look like enough is there.


Who do you think takes this division this year? It's one of the tougher ones to choose.
