NFL Power Rankings, Pre-Training Camp

When you do your first set of NFL power rankings as training camps open, the tendency is to make it an exercise in looking backward, at the season that wrapped up almost six months ago. After all, what else do we have to judge by other than the most recent games and results?

But of course that's all wrong. At this time of year we should be looking forward, and trying to figure out where the NFL landscape has changed without any games -- other than the hiring, firing and personnel acquisition kind -- having been played.

So here's an early attempt to divine the relative strengths and weaknesses of teams as they report to camp, and keep in mind these aren't predictions of what will be in 2010 as much as they're a snapshot of where I perceive teams are right now in late July. As always, your results may vary. Of that I'm sure. (2009 records in parentheses.)
