AFC East after Free agency

 1. Bills- The Bills were magicians with the cap, resigning Milano, Williams and Feliciano. Made a great move bringing in Hollister who is more dynamic than Kroft at tight end and the cagey veteran Emmanuel Sanders to pair with Diggs and Beasley. That's a pretty nifty group. Now, they need to revamp the defensive line and the defense will be set. They got over matched  at times in the run game but with a few tweaks defensively, they are the team to beat in the AFC. Expect them to sign a few vets to sure up the defensive line, although they have invested a tremendous amount at that position over the years.

Biggest draft need: DE

The Bills were able to re-sign guard Jon Feliciano (76) ahead of free agency.

1a. Patriots- The Patriots were bad last year because they had the worst skill position players in the league. When you dont make plays offensively, your defense is on the field more so stats get inflated. They had a very good offensive line and it only got better with the addition of Trent Brown and bringing back Andrews and Karros. 12 personnel will be dynamite with Jonnu Smith and Hunter Henry.  Huge upgrades at wr with Agolar and Kendrick Bourne

On defense they added Judon, Van noy and an underrated Harry Anderson from the Jets. They have the best cb in the league in Gilmore so watch out the Patriots are back. Also bringing in Davon Godchaux will help the defensive line. Jalen Mills at safety is one of the best steals in free agency. 

This team is very complete and will compete for the AFC East.

Biggest Draft need: QB, LB

3. Dolphins-Every time the Dolphins do something, everyone loves it. But I think trading the #3 pick was dumb. That's a Belichick thing, trading down all the time accruing picks and hoping 1 of them pans out. Why would you trade the best tackle prospect in the draft, Sewell when your offensive line needs upgrades and you have a rookie qb who needs help. It may be a great move but I like the idea of #3 really hitting on a great player. Put Pitts in that offense and think about the dynamic their. Parsons is a great lb who would drastically improve any defense with his skillset. They must see value deeper in the draft. They lost 2 of their better defensive players in Van Noy & Shaq Lawson and replaced them with Mckinney who is on the decline. Is the plan to play him as an Olb and not inside at this point of his career? He is a liability in coverage so I am assuming they plan on using him more in that role.  They took a step back on defense.

I still have questions about the offensive line which was not very good last year.  They did play with three rookies. Solomon Kindley has ability but struggled at times in pass protection.   Hunt improved greatly towards the end of the year but Austin Jackson was a disappointment at left tackle for his first year. They added Matt Skura which is a lateral move in regards to the center Karras. Curious to see if they replace flowers at left guard. 

Overall, The only real upgrade was Will Fuller, who gives them a burner in the slot.  That should help. Brissett, is a solid NFL backup qb but not as dangerous as Fitzpatrick in the passing game. Malcolm Brown is another band aid at running back as they went that route last year with limited success. 

Biggest draft need: interior o line, Guard and center,  Edge, Rb, TE, Wr

4. Jets- The Jets did an excellent job addressing their wr room with Davis and Cole, TE with Kroft who will improve their run blocking and allow them to use Herndon as more of an hback. They also did a great job bringing in players such as Lawson, Rankins and Curry to give them some depth on the defensive line.  They have built a very strong unit there. 

I'm not going to talk about qb, but with either Sam or the rookie, you still have the 4th best qb in the division going into the season. Watson talk has tailed off and all fingers point to Wilson being the qb. 

Also, the most important unit has not been improved, the offensive line where they were the most pressured team in the league last year. They have major holes up front. They got eaten up at times in pass protection and struggled running the ball.  They also were one of the worst stats in rushes over 10 yards last year and really need some dynamic running backs that can make some plays. Now that being said, the wide zone system has always made average running backs look good so we should see more production there. 

Lastly, they need more depth at cb to really finalize the defense. 

Biggest draft needs: QB, OG, RB, CB, FS, Nickel, LB
