Without further ado, Nugg Love will now introduce to you our Pre-Draft Power Rankings for the 2016-2017 season.

Higher ranked teams with the “(draft)” by their name are more depended on how the draft plays out; this is only for Denver, Minnesota, and Boston who have high lottery picks, and those picks could determine their season outcome.

Some teams are in perfect place to entertain much success next season, and others are in a position of trouble for the upcoming season. The draft will potentially determine the ultimate fate of a couple of these teams, but free agency will most likely determine the fate of more.

Each team has an abnormal allowance of CAP space due to the increase in CAP, and that makes free agency even more exciting than it normally would be. This article’s CAP space discuss will be based of this article describing each teams CAP space availability.
