Finally, below is the complete consensus rankings for all 32 NFL teams:

1 Arizona Cardinals
2 Carolina Panthers
3 New England Patriots
4 Green Bay Packers
5 Seattle Seahawks
6 Pittsburgh Steelers
7 Cincinnati Bengals
8 Denver Broncos
9 Minnesota Vikings
10 Kansas City Chiefs
11 Oakland Raiders
12 Houston Texans
13 Washington Redskins
14 Indianapolis Colts
15 Dallas Cowboys
16 Buffalo Bills
17 New York Giants
18 Jacksonville Jaguars
19 Baltimore Ravens
20 New York Jets
21 Atlanta Falcons
22 Chicago Bears
23 Detroit Lions
24 Tampa Bay Buccaneers
25 Miami Dolphins
26 Los Angeles Rams
27 Philadelphia Eagles
28 New Orleans Saints
29 San Diego Chargers
30 Tennessee Titans
31 San Francisco 49ers
32 Cleveland Browns

The top three teams (Arizona, Carolina, and New England) were very close to each other and all three were the top team on at least one set of rankings. The next three teams (Green Bay, Seattle, and Pittsburgh) were also very close in averages as well. I once again agree with the national guys on this one.

I would put the Cardinals, Panthers, and Patriots in the top tier of teams and the Packers, Seahawks, and Steelers in the second. Then I would put the Bengals, Broncos, Vikings, and Chiefs in the third tier of NFL teams. The fourth tier would be the Raiders, Texans, Redskins, Colts, and Cowboys. After that I think you get away from teams that have much of a chance to be a contender in 2016.

So what do you think, Addicts? Do you think these consensus rankings are pretty good or are the national sports media guys all wrong? Do you think the Chiefs are ranked fairly? Do you agree that the AFC West could be a pretty even three team fight? Are there any teams that you feel like are way too high or way too low in these rankings? I’d love to hear your thoughts in the comments below

As always, thanks for reading and GO CHIEFS!!!

P.S. – Sorry for the short piece this week, I’m knee deep in a house painting project that’s cutting into my “Chiefs obsession time”.
