The gloves are off in Part 2 of our NFL offseason power rankings.Dave Clarke, Bob Kelly, and Rayshawn Buchanan pick up right where we left off last week after torching the league’s bottom 12. Now we’re getting into that middle-to-upper tier — teams that could swing either way in 2025. Contenders in the making, pretenders in disguise… we’re calling them out. We kick things off with the Seattle Seahawks at 19. Sam Darnold’s running the show, Cooper Kupp’s in town, and Mike Macdonald’s defense is going to have to keep this thing from falling apart while the offense figures it out. From there, it’s a ride through breakout candidates like Kyler Murray and Marvin Harrison Jr. in Arizona, a 49ers team that lives or dies on Christian McCaffrey’s legs, and a Pittsburgh Steelers squad that suddenly has Rodgers, Ramsey, and DK Metcalf but still has to survive that brutal schedule. We talk Caleb Williams’ rookie year in Chicago, why Houston might be better than people think (if Mixon and Nico can stay healthy), and how Kevin O’Connell somehow keeps the Vikings relevant even with a rookie QB. Denver’s defense looks terrifying, Jim Harbaugh might be the missing piece for the Chargers, and the Jordan Love debate rages on in Green Bay. You’ll hear plenty of “are you serious?” moments, QB ranking fights, and some very real questions about coaches like Kyle Shanahan and Mike Tomlin. Agree, disagree, yell at us on Twitter — it’s all part of the fun.

RUNDOWN   Mitch and Hotshot recap the Mariners' Ichiro celebration weekend, praising the team's tribute while questioning the odd inclusion of Tom Brady in the video montage—especially after deliberately omitting Alex Rodriguez to avoid boos. Episode 346's “area code spotlight” on Houston's, highlights a long list of famous residents and musical talent from ZZ Top and Kenny Rogers to Beyoncé and Travis Scott. Mitch and Hotshot marvel at the Mariners' blistering run—seven straight wins, 13 games over .500, and now just a game behind the Astros with 43 to play. With stars like Gino Suarez yet to heat up and pitching still not at peak form, the duo wonders just how high this team's ceiling might be. In this Mariners No-Table, Mitch, Joe Doyle, and Brady Farkas break down Seattle's 9–1 homestand, surging offense, and remarkable lineup depth even with Gino Suarez and Cal Raleigh struggling. They debate bullpen concerns—especially Andres Muñoz's command—plus looming roster decisions with Luke Raley and Victor Robles returning. Jacson Bevens joins Mitch for some key takeaways from Seattle's preseason opener, spotlighting rookie WR Tory Horton's strong debut, dynamic fullback usage, and a cleverly schemed interception that showcased Mike Macdonald's defense. They discuss the ceiling and depth of the defense, the roles of Kenneth Walker and Zach Charbonnet, and the need for top performances from CBs Riq Woolen and Devon Witherspoon. In this re-aired classic, John Tesh tells Mitch the now-famous story of how “Roundball Rock” was born, from humming the tune into his answering machine in Europe to bringing it to life in the studio.
