What happened: Garrett ranks No. 1 after joining Los Angeles, with A.J. Brown second and Trent McDuffie third. The evaluation measures expected first-year impact across trades, signings and draft picks.

Why it matters: Training camps have shifted attention from transaction costs to how quickly newcomers can reshape lineups. Garrett enters 2026 after a 23-sack season, while Brown gives New England a proven lead target.

What to watch: Preseason roles will offer the first test of whether the highest-ranked additions are positioned for immediate workloads.
