2017 NFL Power Rankings: Preseason

I would be an irresponsible blogger if I let the NFL season start without dropping some preseason NFL power rankings for 2017. This batch of rankings is bound to be severely shaken up by the time mid-September rolls around, but it's always a good time to take a look at where the NFL hierarchy stands before the chaos of the regular season hits. Make sure you check back in mid-November and laugh at how naïve I was in mid-August.
