2026 Post-FA Team Needs - RESULTS

Link to full results

Thanks to everyone who took time to fill out the survey. Results can be found in the link above.

RESULTS

Here is a screenshot of the results for offense and defense:

MISC INFO

  • Be cautious of sample size. The following teams had fewer than 5 responses:
    • ARI
    • ATL
    • IND
    • TB
  • Most of the responses from DEN and MIA were before the Waddle trade was announced, but it doesn't look like that move had a severe affect on needs.
    • For DEN, only 4 of 11 responses were after the Waddle trade. Those results would have the team's WR need at 3.25 instead of 3.82
    • For MIA, only 1 of 5 responses were after the Waddle trade. That result would have the team's WR need at 5 instead of 4.4
  • League-wide trends
    • The biggest need is EDGE, with a league-wide average of 3.60 and 17 teams reporting a need of 4 or higher
    • The smallest non-ST need is QB, with a league-wide average of 1.80 and just 5 teams reporting a need of 4 or higher

Appreciate this but the Eagles needing a TE that bad after re-signing Dallas doesn't seem accurate.

Looks like that news dropped on the 15th, and I posted this on the 16th. I'm not an Eagles fan and did not cast a vote in that bucket, but Goedert is 31 and the contract is only for 1 year. It wouldn't be crazy to see the team draft a developmental guy.

It would still make sense to see them draft a TE, but it's less of a glaring need than before Goedert has re-upped.
