Ranking Every Team's 2026 Draft Class by Weight
This popped into my head during the draft, when I saw my fellow Vikings fans talking about how physically large our draft class was. Now on a bored Sunday it popped into my head again, so I looked up the weights of all 257 selections and ranked each team by their Pounds-Per-Pick (PPP). Weights come from Pro Football Reference, and when available there I used their combine weigh-ins (which caused some discrepancies between their "listed" weights and combine weights, but it was usually around the same).
So here it is.
All 32 draft classes ranked by pure, unprocessed beef.
| Team | PPP |
|---|---|
| Chargers | 274.6 |
| Giants | 267.7 |
| Eagles | 263.5 |
| Titans | 259.9 |
| Texans | 259.5 |
| Bengals | 258.9 |
| Rams | 258.4 |
| Vikings | 256.8 |
| 49ers | 253.7 |
| Cardinals | 253.4 |
| Broncos | 252.7 |
| Panthers | 252.6 |
| Buccaneers | 252.4 |
| Lions | 251 |
| Patriots | 248.2 |
| Browns | 246.8 |
| Jaguars | 246.1 |
| Falcons | 244.2 |
| Steelers | 243.7 |
| Packers | 242 |
| Jets | 241.9 |
| Bills | 241.6 |
| Bears | 240 |
| Dolphins | 238.5 |
| Cowboys | 238.4 |
| Colts | 237.5 |
| Ravens | 237.4 |
| Commanders | 236 |
| Saints | 233.1 |
| Raiders | 228.1 |
| Seahawks | 227.5 |
| Chiefs | 214.3 |
So what did we learn? Not a ton, really.
Most teams hovered around the average of 246.9 PPP, without much variation on either side.
The teams that DID vary are the most interesting.
The Chargers, Giant and Eagles are the most beefy, with the Chargers coming a whole 7 PPP over 2nd place, and a whopping 60 PPP over the lightest draft class in the Chiefs.
Speaking of the Chiefs, they're the only team to not select a single player over 300 pounds (Peter Woods weighed in at 298 at the combine).
As for my Vikings, who started this whole thing, at the 8th most beefy, it IS on the heavier side, but nowhere near an outlier.
So that's it. Its a list of weights, what do want from me?
