We’re through the free agency frenzy and the draft now, and we’re settling into the dead part of the offseason. Over the next few weeks, teams will report for OTAs and a few free agent signings will trickle in for those teams waiting to make moves until after the draft, but for the most part, camp rosters have been set. With that in mind, let’s take a look at the biggest remaining need for all 32 teams post-free agency and the draft. Some teams have glaring holes at multiple positions, while others might only have one or two where they’d like more depth. But no roster is perfect, so let’s examine what each team still needs moving forward. Arizona Cardinals Biggest Remaining Need: Quarterback No, drafting Carson Beck at No. 65 doesn’t mean your quarterback depth chart is fixed. The Cardinals cut former No. 1 overall pick Kyler Murray this offseason, ending his time in Arizona. They signed Gardner Minshew and returned Jacoby Brissett , who started the bulk of last season in Murray’s stead. But Brissett and Minshew are both career backups and bridge starters, and neither is the future under center. It gets worse, too, because now Brissett is holding out for a new deal and Arizona may be forced to trade him. That’s right: the Cardinals are so down bad at quarterback that their bridge starter has the leverage to hold out for a new deal. The good news is the 2027 quarterback class is shaping up to be a great one, but that doesn’t exactly solve any problems in 2026. Atlanta Falcons Biggest Remaining Need: Wide Receiver Drake London finally had the monster breakout season he’d been primed for last year, and he’s one of the league’s better receivers. But the depth chart around him is lacking. Jahan Dotson has struggled to make a consistent impact since his rookie season in Washington, and while Olamide Zaccheaus is a quality complementary option, he can’t be relied upon as a WR2 like he’s projected as now. The strength of Atlanta’s wide receiver corps probably depends on third-rounder Zachariah Branch . He’s an explosive slot weapon who can handle having the offense funneled through him, at least in college. If he develops into a reliable piece, this position could flip from a need to a strength for the Falcons. Baltimore Ravens Biggest Remaining Need: Center I’m not the only one saying it: Ravens GM Eric DeCosta said after the draft that they might need to trade for a starting center. After losing Tyler Linderbaum in free agency, Baltimore failed to sign a suitable replacement. Despite the strength of the position in the draft, they didn’t take one there either, leaving their depth chart pretty thin. Corey Bullock is the projected starter, and the Ravens did sign Danny Pinter , who was a backup and spot starter in Indianapolis for the last few seasons. But neither of those options inspires much confidence as regular starters, so Baltimore may need to turn elsewhere. Buffalo Bills Biggest Remaining Need: Defensive Tackle The Bills did an impressive job of shoring up some of their weaknesses this offseason, especially considering the coaching change and cap constraints they were under. Still, this team couldn’t stop the run last season, and the only addition they made at defensive tackle was drafting Zane Durant in the sixth round. If second-year players T.J. Sanders and Deone Walker take another step with more experience under their belt, this position suddenly doesn’t look so bad. But that’s a big ask, and Buffalo really needs both of them to…
