The NFL season is back!
On the eve of NFL training camps, which begin across the league next week, we put together our first NFL power rankings of the 2015 season.
To make the rankings, we took into account last season's DVOA (an advanced stat from Football Outsiders), roster moves, draft picks, and age.
The top of the rankings will look familiar, but we threw some sleepers we like into the top-10 to mix it up.
1. Seattle Seahawks
2014 DVOA rank: 1st
Key additions: Jimmy Graham (TE), Cary Williams (CB)
Key subtractions: Byron Maxwell (CB), James Carpenter (OL), O'Brien Schofield (LB), Max Unger (C)
One thing to know: The Seahawks addressed their biggest weakness in the Jimmy Graham trade, but they had to sacrifice depth to do so.
2. Green Bay Packers
2014 DVOA rank: 3rd
Key additions: Damarious Randall (rookie, DB)
Key subtractions: Tramon Williams (CB), AJ Hawk (LB)
One thing to know: Don't read too much into their lack of key additions. The Packers never sign free agents, and it has been a wildly effective strategy.
3. New England Patriots
2014 DVOA rank: 4th
Key additions: Brandon Gibson (WR), Malcom Brown (rookie, DT)
Key subtractions: Darrelle Revis (CB), Vince Wilfork (DT), Shane Vereen (RB), Kyle Arrington (CB), Tom Brady for four games? (QB)
One thing to know: Bill Belichick's off-seasons always look like head-scratchers and end up turning out fine, but this one might be different with Tom Brady's status uncertain.
