What if NFL teams were truly regional?

I can answer any questions or address any concerns in the comments.

Dallas Cowboys

This squad is a shoe in to win the NFC West and probably the entire NFC. Try to stop an offense with Brees and Peterson (Dallas will welcome him back to the league) in the backfield, Welker, Crabtree, Wright and Gresham catching passes and this line leading the way. I won’t even get too deep into the defense that has a lights out linebacker group and a monster front with outstanding depth.

QB Drew Brees – Austin (Purdue) – Matthew Stafford, Nick Foles

RB Adrian Peterson – Palestine (Oklahoma) – Justin Forsett, Fred Jackson, Chris Ivory

WR Kendall Wright – Pittsburg (Baylor) – Terrance Williams

WR Wes Welker – Oklahoma City, OK (Texas Tech)

S Kenny Vaccaro – Early (Texas) – Aaron Williams, Daniel Manning

S Tashaun Gipson – Dallas (Wyoming) - Michael Griffin

K Dan Bailey – Yukon, OK (Oklahoma State)

P Daniel Sepulveda – Dallas (Baylor)

New York Giants

This team is really hurt by having to split their roster with the Jets and the fact that the New York area is not great for football talent. They still have a very good running back, receivers/tight end and a decent offensive line. The defense is overall strong as well and would be one of the better units in the league.

QB Matt McGloin – West Scranton, PA (Penn State)

RB Ray Rice – New Rochelle (Rutgers)

WR Mohamed Sanu – Monmouth Junction, NJ (Rutgers)

S Mike Adams – Paterson, NJ (Delaware)

K/P Patrick Murray – Mahwah, NJ (Fordham)

Philadelphia Eagles

This seems like a pretty good, not great team to me. Ryan and McCoy would be a nice backfield and Ryan would have Colston and some promising young receivers to throw to. The defense would have some strong points at defensive tackle and cornerback and would overall be really good.

QB Matt Ryan – Philadelphia (Boston College) – Joe Flacco

RB LeSean McCoy – Harrisburg (Pittsburgh) – Bernard Pierce, Shonn Greene

WR Maques Colston – Harrisburg (Hofstra) – Jaelen Strong

S Anthony Walters – Springfield (Delaware)

K/P Brandon McManus – Towamencin Township (Temple)

Washington Redskins

Russell Wilson would lead a team with a strong offensive line and solid receivers/tight ends. The defense would be one of the toughest in the league as well with Long, Mayo and Chancellor holding it down.

QB Russell Wilson – Richmond (Wisconsin)

RB Ben Tate – Snow Hill, MD (Auburn) – Rashad Jennings

NFC North

Detroit Lions

This seems like a decent middle-of-the road team. There is nothing truly remarkable about the team, but it is solid and deep across the board. Roethlisberger to Gates would be the calling card of their offense.

QB Ben Roethlisberger – Findlay, OH (Miami, Ohio)

RB Mark Ingram – Flint (Alabama) – Jonas Gray

K Shaun Suisham – Wallaceburg, ON (Bowling Green)

P Brandon Fields – Toledo, OH (Michigan State)

Green Bay

This ended up being one of my favorite teams. The offensive line might be the best in the league, Romo could get the ball to crafty receivers and hand off to Gordon. On defense Watt will have to hold everything down, but he could give them a shot.

QB Tony Romo – Burlington (Eastern Illinois)

K Brett Hartmann – Menomonee Falls (Central Michigan)

Minnesota Vikings

This team has some sneaky great units like the receiver and tight end group and is decent on the offensive line, but will simply not succeed with their backfield and defensive backfield.

QB Danny O’Brien – Minneapolis (Catawba)

RB Zach Zenner – Eagan (South Dakota State)

NFC South

Atlanta Falcons

A heavy contender to be the best team, just look at this receiver group… A.J. Green is the third-best receiver. Newton could assuredly tear up defenses with those receivers and a good offensive line. The defense is utterly stacked and could easily be the best in the league.

QB Cam Newton – Atlanta (Auburn) – Jameis Winston

RB Zac Stacy – Centreville, AL (Vanderbilt) – Mike Davis, Storm Johnson

S Eric Berry – Fairburn (Tennessee)

K John Kasay – Athens (Georgia)

P Sam Martin – Fayetteville (Appalachian State)

Carolina Panthers

The Panthers don’t have much at quarterback, but the team is pretty legit outside of that. The receiver group and the defensive front would be top notch.

QB Tyler Thigpen – Winnsboro, SC (Coastal Carolina)

RB Todd Gurley – Tarboro (Georgia)

WR DeAndre Hopkins – Central, SC (Clemson) – Hakeem Nicks

S Marcus Gilchrist – High Point (Clemson)

S Earl Wolff – Raeford (NCState)

K Chandler Catanzaro – Greenville, SC (Clemson)

P Ryan Quigley – North Myrtle Beach, SC (Boston College)

New Orleans

Peyton throwing the ball to Jones, Beckham Jr and Randle would be a nice little connection and with Forte running behind that front, he would have plenty of help in the running game. Combine that with a defense with pretty much no flaws and a deep and deadly front and you should have the best team in the NFL South.

QB Peyton Manning – New Orleans (Tennessee) – Eli Manning

RB Matt Forte – Slidell (Tulane) – Alfred Morris, Stevan Ridley

WR Julio Jones – Foley, AL (Alabama) – Mike Wallace

WR Odell Beckham Jr. – New Orleans (LSU) – Doug Baldwin

K Stephen Gostowski – Madison, MS (Memphis)

P Mike Scifres – Destrehan (Western Illinois)

Tampa Bay Buccaneers

I thought that this team would be better, but it is still pretty good. Love the receiver group that Bortles can throw to and the Pounceys on the line is nice. The defense would have a strong front and a lot of depth across the board.

QB Blake Bortles – Orlando (UCF)

RB Chris Johnson – Orlando (East Carolina)

WR Brandon Marshall – Winter Park (UCF)

WR Sammy Watkins – South Fort Myers (Clemson)

WR Riley Cooper – Clearwater (Florida)

K/P Matt Prater – Estero (UCF)

NFC West

Arizona Cardinals

Not a bad team. A nice offensive line to pound Murray and Jackson with and a decent caretaker QB in Fitzpatrick with a potential franchise guy in Hundley in the wings. I like the defensive line and really like the linebackers.

QB Ryan Fitzpatrick – Gilbert (Harvard) – Brett Hundley

RB DeMarco Murray – Las Vegas, NV

K/P – Jeff Locke – Glendale (UCLA)

San Francisco 49ers

Could Brady turn this team into the new Patriots? He has some really nice tools at the skill positions, but would have some soft spots on the offensive line. The defense is a little aged up front and weak in the back, but I love the linebacker group.

QB Tom Brady – San Mateo (Michigan)

RB Doug Martin – Stockton (Boise State)

WR Julian Edelman – Redwood City (Kent State)

K/P Justin Medlock – San Jose (UCLA)

Seattle Seahawks

Due to a population hub that is frequently becoming less and less blue collar, the Northwest doesn’t really produce a roster that would keep the Seahawks playing in Super Bowls, but this squad wouldn’t be a complete pushover. With some talent on the offensive line and Sankey and Stewart teamed with Locker, the Seahawks could pound the ball on offense and then build a defense around Suh and a lockdown corner in Desmond Trufant with an aging star at safety in Polamalu.

QB Jake Locker – Ferndale (Washington) – Derek Anderson

RB Bishop Sankey – Spokane (Washington)

FB Jonathan Stewart – Olympia (Oregon)

WR Jermaine Kearse – Lakewood (Washington)

CB Isaiah Trufant – Tacoma (Eastern Washington)

S Troy Polamalu – Winston, OR (USC)

K Rian Lindell – Vancouver (Washington State)

P Johnny Hekker – Bothell (Oregon State)

St. Louis Rams

This team has some really nice spots on defense such as the line and at safety, but also really lacks talent and depth as much as any team in this restructured league like offensive line, cornerback and receiver. I do like their depth at running back and having Maclin though, but overall, this is not a great team.

QB Blaine Gabbert – Ballwin (Missouri)

RB Montee Ball – Wentzville (Wisconsin) – Ezekiel Elliott

RB Peyton Hillis – Conway, AR (Arkansas)

K/P Neil Rackers – St. Louis (Illinois)

AFC East

Buffalo Bills

The Bills simply suffer from not having enough football players and their not well-populated region.

Miami Dolphins

A favorite to at least contend for the AFC title, this team is stacked at receiver and everywhere on defense. Could be better at quarterback and some other spots, but this team doesn’t have a real weakness.

AFC West

Denver Broncos

I like this team a little bit more than I thought I did at first. They could pound with Asiata and pass to Woodhead out of the backfield with a decent offensive line and throw the ball to Jackson. The defensive front would be loaded and damn near impossible to run on, but this team would come undone in the back seven where the region just doesn’t produce NFL talent.

Kansas City Chiefs

This team has no quarterback, but with Sproles, Nelson, Green-Beckham and Paul, they could be pretty electric at skill positions even if their offensive line isn’t very good. The defense probably wouldn’t be anything special, but it is pretty solid for a non-major city.

QB Shaun Hill – Parsons, KS (Maryland)

Oakland Raiders

This team is all about the Rodgers/Lynch combo that never truly got to happen at Cal, but the only problem is that they would not be protected by the best offensive line as it is pretty sparse outside of Mankins and Leno. The good news is that they have an excellent second running option in Helu and solid receivers along with a tight end. The defense also has major issues up front, but does have an excellent linebacker group whose second unit is better than many starting units.

QB Aaron Rodgers – Chico (Cal)

San Diego Chargers

This might be my favorite team. I just wish they had a better quarterback. My favorite part is the offensive line, you could hand off to Foster, Mathews, Vereen and Bush behind that offensive line and probably run over everyone. I also love the defense, which teams Sherman and Browner again with Weddle and has a great front seven.

AFC South

Houston Texans

This offense wouldn’t have the best line, but Luck handing off to Charles and tossing the ball to Bryant, Sanders, Evans, Amaro and Bennett would be unfair. The defensive line would be unbelievably stacked and Orakpo and Thomas would add star power in a back seven that surprisingly would not be very deep.

Indianapolis Colts

This team is simply limited by how small of a region they have due to being penned in by other cities while not having a huge metro area themselves. Cutler would have a lot of trouble winning games with this roster.

Jacksonville Jaguars

Despite being penned in by a lot of other NFL cities, this team is loaded with talent, primarily on defense. That defense, especially up front would be nasty.

QB Tim Tebow – Ponte Vedra (Florida)

Tennessee Titans

I love this team. Rivers could hand off to Williams behind a good offensive line and throw to Tate, Cobb and Matthews. The front of the defense would be beastly with Memphis locals holding it down.

AFC North

Baltimore Ravens

The offense is solid across the board, but far from spectacular and weak at quarterback. The defense is scary though and would be one of the best in the league.

RB Terrance West – Baltimore (Towson) – Lorenzo Taliaferro

WR Tavon Austin – Baltimore  (West Virginia)

WR Brandon Coleman – Forestville (Rutgers)

Cleveland Browns

This is a team that doesn’t really have any strengths, but also doesn’t really have any weakness. Regardless, I don’t think it would be a very good team.

QB Brian Hoyer – Cleveland (Michigan State) – Connor Cook

RB Dan Herron – Warren (Ohio State)

WR Brian Hartline – Canton (Ohio State) – Devin Smith

P Dave Zastudil – Bay Village (Ohio)

Cincinnati Bengals

Like Indianapolis, Cincinnati suffers from being too close to other NFL cities, but they would still be pretty decent. Bell would pound behind this offensive line and the defense would be built around Kuechly.

QB Brady Quinn – Dublin (Notre Dame)

RB Le’Veon Bell – Groveport (Michigan State)

Pittsburgh Steelers

This team has some serious weakness (like at QB), but is good on the offensive line and as one of the league’s best playmakers in Gronkowski. The defense is anchored by Donald and Revis and doesn’t have any glaring weaknesses.

QB Chad Henne – West Lawn (Michigan)

RB LaRod Stephens-Howling – Johnstown (Pittsburgh)
