The 2025 NFL Draft is just over a week away, and every team still owns its first-round pick. Not once since the league expanded to 32 teams in 2002 has each club entered Draft Day in possession of its original top pick. Every team also has at least one Day 2 selection.

It's not a coincidence that the team who reached the peak of the mountaintop, winning Super Bowl LIX, is known for investing heavily along the line of scrimmage, after all.

Just a week into NFL free agency, the bulk of the major deals are done. There's now an opportunity to evaluate which teams got better and why. Did they throw money at the big names? Did they spend wisely? Strategically? Who played the game the best? To figure that out, you can start with who got the most bang for their buck. For as many big contracts teams handed out, especially to wide receivers, there were some surprises on the other end of the spectrum.
