I think that teams that can make positive turnarounds are the Chiefs, Vikings, Panthers, Eagles, Jets, Rams, and Raiders. I also think that teams that could fall next season are the Buccaneers, Patriots (a little bit), and Broncos.

My sleepers are Jamal Lewis, Hines Ward, Calvin Johnson, Ryan Grant, Tavaris Jackson, Anthony Gonzales, Reggie Williams, Chris Johnson, Michael Turner, Ricky Williams, Leon Washington, Felix Jones, Mario Manningham, Donovan McNabb, Antwaan Randle El, Ronald Curry, Darren Sproles, Edgerrin James, Marc Bulger, ...and more...

Matt Leinart, Cardinals QB?

...I think he'll do alright, but he's not much of a sleeper. The Cardinals offensive line is shaky, and Edge is getting old, so Leinart will have a pretty tough time by doing things on his own. At least he has the best wide receiver tandem in the NFL, with Larry Fitzgerald and Anquan Boldin, who each should post huge numbers. Leonard Pope is a decent tight end target as well...But one thing to watch for is that Leinart forces a lot of turnovers, and that he may lose playing time to Kurt Warner if he struggles.

Titans. I think people are really not understanding how big an impact Alge Crumpler will be to a mobile quarterback like Vince Young. A big moving target with sure hands for Vince who likes to scramble, albeit a bit too much, is a good thing now.

Titans will at the very least get 9 wins.

Yo Dude-LAP, why do you say that the Buccaneers will fall? (other than the weird relm of the NFC South where you go from last to first.) Tampa is still the best team in that division, we have 2 Fully healthy RB's that can play and make a difference The caddy will be back soon, Cenbter position is better, Defense is better and Gaines Adams is going to have a pro bowl season. Garcia is very, very solid, and the receivers arent too bad.

Well thts reasonable, but if you look at hi sstats from last season, he only started 8 games 55 total tackles, 6 sacks, and 2 forced fumbles, and a extra point block. Thats pretty good for only starting 8 games and playing here and there in a few others. Next year he is going to be th efull time starter, and well you could just double his stats and tht say pro bowl, but i odnt wanna jinx it lol

Crumpler is a good fit, but isn't enough. He will do well, but the Titans' passing game still won't be a big plus. Tennessee failed to make WR acquisitions in the offseason, and didn't even take one early in the draft. Justin Gage, Brandon Jones, and Justin McCareins are not enough to be a big factor in the air. I don't see them making the playoffs, especially with the Jaguars making a bid for an AFC South title (which I think they will accomplish this season).

Yeah, good picks.

The Jets and Panthers should both do better.

Many people already projected the Vikings and Titans to do well. I think they'll both do pretty good next season (especially the Vikings), so I wouldn't quite consider them "sleepers."

Oakland and San Francisco will depend. The Raiders have good skill positions on offense but a bad offensive line, and a good secondary but back linebackers and D line. The Niners have a good RB Gore, pretty good receivers, a mess at QB (Martz could help), a decent linebacker core and defensive line, and a bad secondary.

the raiders have a B+ lb core with should-have been pro bowler thomas howard 1 sack 6 ints 11 passes defended 2 tds and 95 tackles and their mlb kirk morrison 120 tackles 4 ints 10 passes defended and filling the other olb spot will be robert thomas and ed hartwell.

as for the d-line at DE you have the always great pro bowler derrek burgess, and filling the other spot will be greg spires(whom i bet duke knows) kalimba edwards, and jay richardson, and for DT William joeseph (whom i bet dude lap knows) former 3rd overall draft pick gerrard warren, and tommy kelly.

as for the o-line former 2nd overall pick has found his calling at LG and at RG cooper carlise the broncos long time starter holds that position. at center john wade former bucs starter, then at LT kwame harris the 49ers former starter then at RT corrnel green and mario henderson will compete for that position the raiders 9 to 10 wins this year and hopefully playoffs
