So, now that the 2026 NFL Draft is in the books, let’s take a look at Cowherd’s updated top 10, with Super Bowl odds via DraftKings Sportsbook.<\/p>\n
Herd Hierarchy Post-Draft: Who will be on top? Cowherd’s thoughts: “Mike McDaniel, I think, is a perfect fit for Justin Herbert and Jim Harbaugh<\/a>. This team knew its issue. They had to get an edge rusher and they had to fix the O-line. Four of their eight pick were offensive linemen. I think I probably have them rate several spots below where they\u2019ll finish.”<\/p>\n Super Bowl odds: +1600<\/p>\n Cowherd’s thoughts: “I think [Eagles offensive coordinator] Sean Mannion is young, but he works. I think between Makai Lemon, Dontayvion Wicks and Hollywood Brown, they\u2019ll be OK once they move off A.J. Brown<\/a>. It\u2019s a very coordinator-dependent franchise. I think they upgraded in the draft, getting Jonathan Greenard from Minnesota, that will help their pass rush. I have so much respect for the organization and the GM [Howie Roseman].”<\/p>\n Super Bowl odds: +1600<\/p>\n Cowherd’s thoughts: “I think the Houston Texans have the best defense I\u2019ve seen in this league, in probably about seven to eight years. It’s unbelievable. Then they went and got David Montgomery to go with Woody Marks. So they have upgraded the running back room. They added three new starters on the offensive line. The old line has been their enigma and they\u2019ve won multiple playoff games last year with the 27th-ranked O-line. They upgraded their running back room. Tank Dell comes back. They upgraded their O-line and I think have one of the top two or three defensive minds in the game.”<\/p>\n Super Bowl odds: +1800<\/p>\n Cowherd’s thoughts: “Listen, folks, much like Philadelphia, much like the Rams, the good teams have selective drafts. They need like three or four spots, so they made splash moves getting the best running back in free agency, Kenneth Walker, the best cornerback in the draft [Mansoor Delane<\/a>] and two guys in the defensive front [Peter Woods and R Mason Thomas] also. Rashee Rice is back from injury. Josh Simmons is back from injury. Patrick Mahomes, ahead of schedule, is back from injury. It’s a quarterback-and-coach league. Don\u2019t sell your Chiefs stock, I\u2019ll buy it.”<\/p>\n Super Bowl odds: +1500<\/p>\n Cowherd’s thoughts: “I think Drew Petzing, former Cardinals OC, is a huge upgrade. I don’t think he’s Ben Johnson, but Arizona last year was like a top 10 third-down offense, and we’re like, how? I got a bad offensive line. They have a defensive coach when they were doing it because they have a really smart offensive coordinator. I love their GM [Brad Holmes]. They had to go get a left tackle. They were drafting for specific needs. I think their roster is excellent. It may not be Philadelphia, but it’s close. I think they’re a playoff team.”<\/p>\n Super Bowl odds: +1800<\/p>\n Cowherd’s thoughts: “Denver upgraded with Davis Webb at offensive coordinator. A lot of people were interested. They trade for Jaylen Waddle to ensure Bo Nix’s continued growth. They were the No. 1 seed last year. Now the Raiders will be better in the division and so will the Chargers. I don’t know if they’ll be the number one seed, but they went and got Jonah Coleman. They went and got another running back with [RJ] Harvey. Obviously, Sean Payton knows quarterbacks and has a lot of leverage, like Ben Johnson, when it comes to building this team through the draft. They\u2019ve got a stacked offense. Tremendous pass rush. Big home field advantage early in the season in the altitude.”<\/p>\n Super Bowl odds: +1900<\/p>\n Cowherd’s thoughts: “I think their first two draft picks are home runs. Dillon Thieneman and Iowa center Logan Jones are going to last a long time in this league. Everybody can say they didn\u2019t get a pass rush in, but did they upgrade their offense again and right now, this is an offensive franchise. Their young receiver group is going to grow and Sam Roush is arguably the best blocking tight end that allows them to run 13 personnel. The team lost to the Rams in a playoff game in which the Rams literally played perfect. No drop passes. One or two penalties. No turnovers. This team will vie for the NFC Championship.”<\/p>\n Super Bowl odds: +2500 Cowherd’s thoughts: “I don’t think they’re going to be as good. Klint Kubiak \u2026 are they as good at coordinator? Tariq Woolen, I mean, he made some mistakes, but he was a large, fast corner. Coby Bryant, Kenneth Walker, I just don’t think they’ll quite have the juice they did last year. But I love the coach. I love Sam Darnold. John Schnieder drafts and develops. They did get a running back out of Notre Dame [Jadarian Price<\/a>] that should solve, to some degree, their running back shortage going into the draft.”<\/p>\n Super Bowl odds: +950<\/p>\n Cowherd’s thoughts: “I like Buffalo’s draft. Everybody now, low-hanging fruit, let\u2019s beat up on Brandon Beane. \u2026 Skyler Bell, to me, could be one of those players that goes in the fourth round and I keep hearing how bad the draft is. Go watch Skyler Bell from UConn go to Buffalo and end up being a really nice, pleasant surprise. He won’t be their No. 1. He may be their No. 3 receiver, but now, when you put him with their slot, their tight ends, James Cook, Josh Allen, Dion Dawkins and Keon Coleman, [Bell] is going to continue to grow. I like him, and they went out and got Bradley Chubb. Their first pick was T.J. Parker, the rush end. I like their draft. I thought they did really well. My take is they’ll have a greater sensibility, a little more nuance and touch and satisfaction to their offense. Offensive guy now in the building. I like their draft. I thought they did a really good job with DJ Moore, who’s durable. A total pro. The Bears may miss DJ Moore more than people think.”<\/p>\n Super Bowl odds: +1000<\/p>\n![\"Herd](\"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/04\/8hz7njrx3ihuvuge.jpg\")
