Oh it's the Raiders, Biscuit.
You know that they'll draft the fastest wr in the draft no matter what.

Hey guys. It's been a minute, but glad to see you all on here. Draft is less than 2 weeks away, and I'm stoked.
Simply because I'm bored, here are my "way too early" division predictions.
AFC East
Bills
Dolphins
Patriots
Jets
AFC North
Ravens
Bengals
Steelers
Browns
AFC South
Texans
Colts
Jaguars
Titans
AFC West
Chiefs
Chargers
Broncos
Raiders
NFC East
Commanders
Eagles
Cowboys
Giants
NFC North
Lions
Vikings
Packers
Bears
NFC South
Buccs
Falcons
Panthers
Saints
NFC West
Rams
49ers
Cardinals
Seahawks
The rankings above are obviously subject to change. We still have the draft, and post-draft cuts and pickups. This is simply an eye test based on the little I'm aware of for each team this off-season.
Some notes.
The AFC West is going to be tight. The Chargers and Broncos are closing in on the talent gap between them and the Chiefs. All of them have established head coaches Payton took the leap year 2 of his coaching helm with the Broncos. It took Bo Nix to do it, though. Will the same happen with Harbaugh, who's already had a good Year 1? It'll be interesting to see what Pete Carroll can do with a Raiders team that is in desperate need of leadership and experience. He's the oldest of the 4 head coaches in the AFC West, but what a gauntlet they are (Reid, Harbaugh, Peyton, Carroll).
The NFC North will be tougher this year. I put the Bears last in their division, but that's not any type of indictment on how they might fare next year. They finished at 5-12, but I expect them to add at least 3 more Ws in the win column. Ben Johnson really did a bang-up job with the O-line. With vets, it may be less needed, but hopefully they have the Oline coach to get them to be an above average line. It looks like Keenan Allen won't be back, so it'll be interesting to see what other pieces the Bears add in free agency. Being in a division with the Lions, Vikings, and Packers is no joke. The Vikings will have a ? at QB. They'll be rolling out McCarthy at the position, with no backups yet. Their O-line and WRs almost makes any QB a plug-and-play for success, but we'll see.
Can the 49ers rebound after last season? Is the departure of Deebo Samuel an addition by subtraction? Aiyuk should be back, and Pearsall will have hist first fully healthy off-season to go into Season 2. If Kittle and Purdy stay healthy, they should absolutely not finish last in their division again this season.
Possibly more stuff to come, but here's stuff for you all to build on.

That's the rumor. Carr will be out for an extended period of time, and most likely this signals the end for his time in New Orleans.
Keep your eyes on Tyler Shough. He's been a steady draft riser and is now considered a possible 1st round pick. I haven't read up on why, but a lot of team scouts like him (and again, not sure what they're seeing in him to warrant that kind of rise).

Hope not, have him going 4th or 6th. A fair bit and a larger bit. 5 is Death. @Biscuiteater1 Spencer Rattler is a low bar to clear. lolOn another note, and may be of interest to Sac, rumor has it that Bears have offered 10 and 39 for 5 and 107.

If the Raiders want a good run game, they should invest in a better o line. But they won't because they are the Raiders. Then they'll have Jeanty with no where to go. Like really shinny rims on a shitty car.
The Bears know this

Even with that being said Jeanty would still improve their run game. Hope all is well.

You and I agree, but with where they are picking they might want to go with the "generational talent" that Jeanty has been tagged as. Then figure out the O-line later. The only problem with that is that it's a weak class for all Olinemen. There are 2 Offensive Tackles that are projected to go around where they pick -- Will Johnson and Kelvin Banks. They're set at LT with Kolton Miller. Truth be told, I'm not sure how well DJ Glaze is at RT. (I actually didn't know who their RT was until I looked it up just now.)
Maybe it was just coaching. I have no knowledge in who they've brought in as their Oline coach, and if they're sticking with a gap blocking scheme or changing it up.
More steam coming in regarding Bears trading up for Jeanty.
