Here is the result in plain text:
Last week, we released The Athletic’s top 150 free agents, a player-by-player look at the best of the class.
Unfortunately for teams that need roster help, the “best of the class” is relative, as this year’s group is one of the thinnest in recent memory. However, there are clear positions of strength and others featuring great depth, especially along the offensive line and on defense.
Below, we’ve broken up the pool of 150 into top-10 lists for each position.
Quarterback: It’s not the most enticing group. How many of these 10 QBs will be starters in Week 1 of the 2025 season? Perhaps only one or two, even if a few others compete during training camp. Darnold should start (and get paid handsomely) somewhere, whether picking his team in free agency or being franchise-tagged and traded.
Cornerback is right behind edge for the deepest position in the class, with 19 players in the top 150, tied with wide receiver for second most. It’s also a strong group at the top, featuring several proven starters, along with useful contributors down the board.
Safety: Most of the top five are at their best closer to the line of scrimmage, led by Reid. He would probably have ranked behind Xavier McKinney and Antoine Winfield Jr. in 2024’s class, but his versatility and tackling will make any defense better.
