Analysts Grade NFL, College Teams' Offseasons

National analysts, including Pro Football Focus and Bleacher Report, have issued offseason grades for NFL and college football teams. The Dallas Cowboys received a C+ due to concerns about new head coach Brian Schottenheimer and limited impact in free agency, despite a strong draft and the addition of receiver George Pickens. The Kansas City Chiefs earned a B for addressing roster needs and retaining key players, though the loss of Joe Thuney and uncertainty about new signings were noted. The Houston Texans received a D from PFF after losing star lineman Laremy Tunsil and failing to address offensive and interior defensive line concerns, despite improvements at receiver and in the secondary. The Texas Longhorns were ranked as having the fourth-best offseason in the SEC by ESPN, credited to a top recruiting class, key transfer additions, and minimal roster losses, making them strong national title contenders. These varied assessments highlight different team strategies and the factors shaping expert opinions on offseason success.
