25. Buffalo Bills
The Buffalo Bills appear to be the real deal and made an aggressive trade to help with the playoff push. Kelvin Benjamin will really help the Bills in the red zone and provide Tyrod Taylor with a big-target down field.
26. Minnesota Vikings
Minnesota’s quarterback situation remains very fluid, but they have proven to have enough surrounding talent to survive. It will be interesting to see what quarterback emerges as the guy going forward for this team.
27. Dallas Cowboys
Dallas again appears to be on the verge of losing Ezekiel Elliott for six weeks. This loss will sting as he has been nearly unstoppable the past few weeks. There will be added pressure on Dak Prescott with Elliott out of the lineup.
28. Pittsburgh Steelers
Pittsburgh’s defense is playing really well which has helped a sputtering offense. Ben Roethlisberger and company are making just enough plays, but this is a group that was among the most explosive just a few years ago.
29. Seattle Seahawks
The Seahawks are hoping that their trade for Duane Brown will finally bring some stability to the offensive line. It will at the very least provide Russell Wilson with some extra time to find open receivers. They are also hoping to see a boost to the running game.
30. Buffalo Bills (via KC)
Kansas City remains one of the best teams in the league which means the Buffalo Bills are looking at receiving a late 1st round pick from the Patrick Mahomes trade. However, this trade still seems like the rare occasion where both teams benefit.
31. New England Patriots
New England is starting to find its stride and are back in the mix to earn home-field advantage in the playoffs. The key to their turnaround has been the improved play of the defense.
32. Philadelphia Eagles
The Eagles are coming off yet another win while also boosting the roster with the addition of Jay Ajayi. This trade provides the Eagles with another threat in the running game and a potential dominate runner.
