NFC South preview

Fascinating division this one with only the Panthers who are rebuilding from the Bryce Young trade really out of contention for the crown. Here’s how we see it:

1. Saints - New Orleans have drafted well & strengthened their O Line with Fuaga & cornerback with McKinstry. Chase Young & Willie Gay came in free agency & should help the defence. Derek Carr should show his best this year & coupled with an easier schedule could land the division title.

2. Falcons - big moves at QB in the offseason with Kirk Cousins & Michael Penix added to the already talented roster. Players such as Robinson & Pitts should prosper under Cousins & they will certainly be competitive. The issue might be at cornerback after losing Jeff okudah to Houston.

3. Buccaneers - baker mayfield earned his deal last year as the Buccs didn’t drop off post Tom Brady as most people expected. Dave Canales has gone & how will this affect baker? The receiving core remains & they still have good players but with the tougher schedule as division winners we opt for 3rd but top spot is in reach.

4. Panthers - after 63 sacks Bryce young will hope for better protection in year 2, Damien Lewis & Robert hunt were added to help this. Diontae Johnson joined from Pittsburgh which could help young too. Defensively they lost their best player Brian burns & DJ Woonum has come in to try to fill the big shoes, hard task for anyone. Carolina needs to see what they have in young & regroup as the draft fallout is only settling down now after Chicago got Caleb Williams with their pick. We take them for 4th.
