Jake MarshBill Belichick is the best head coach in the NFL to lead a team right now
Bill Belichick [is the first pick]. I was taking it no matter what Hank said. I'm a neutral journalist, [picking] the best of the 32.
The Patriots went 4-13 in 2023 and Belichick was eventually let go, making this choice look poor in retrospect compared to Andy Reid or Kyle Shanahan.

Jake MarshThe Jaguars are a sexy pick to win the AFC South and challenge the conference elite
Doug Peterson [is my pick]. I think he did a tremendous job in year one with the Jaguars. And I think they're gonna be a very sexy pick to maybe make some noise in the AFC. I think outside of the big three—the Bills, Chiefs, and Bengals—I think they're gonna be knocking out that door.
The Jaguars started strong but collapsed late in the season, finishing 9-8 and missing the playoffs entirely.
