Herd Hierarchy: Chiefs top Colin Cowherd's post-NFL Draft rankings; 49ers slide
The NFL Draft is over, and Colin Cowherd is back with another Herd Hierarchy, ranking his top 10 teams in the NFL.
Few will be surprised that all three teams atop Cowherd's list are among the four squads that made their respective conference championship games last season, including the now two-time defending Super Bowl champion Kansas City Chiefs.
But Cowherd is not nearly as high on the team that took the Chiefs to overtime in that Super Bowl — the San Francisco 49ers.
Here is a look at Cowherd's top 10 now that the dust has settled on the 2024 NFL Draft, with odds from FanDuel Sportsbook.
10. Los Angeles Chargers
Super Bowl odds: +5000
Cowherd's thoughts: "Justin Herbert and Jim Harbaugh are great, but they lost a lot of offense — Austin Ekeler, Keenan Allen, Mike Williams, Gerald Everett. They lost productive, veteran dudes. I like [Ladd McConkey], I like Joe Alt — both good picks. They got Hayden Hurst, they got J.K. Dobbins and Gus Edwards, but I don't think they're going to be quite as lethal offensively. But I love the coach, I love the quarterback, and I love their offensive tackles."
9. Houston Texans
Super Bowl odds: +1600
Cowherd's thoughts: "I may be wrong. They may be higher than this. I just love the way they're run. I liked their draft. I liked their free agent moves — Stefon Diggs, Danielle Hunter, Joe Mixon. The last two years in personnel, they've done as well as anybody in this league. … I like the way they're coached, their quarterback, their front office."
8. Philadelphia Eagles
Super Bowl odds: +1400
Cowherd's thoughts: "Offensively, the team's stacked, with or without Jason Kelce. They have star receivers, a star tight end, and now Saquon Barkley as a star running back around Jalen
