I'm not going to grade everyone individually, but it does seem that Buffalo, NY and Miami all closed the gap on NE a little. NE still probably wins the division this year barring injuries, but it will at least be a challenge this time. NE really needs to address their secondary and LB corps now. The Jets seem to be gearing up for a big push now, which is understandable as Mangini needs to show something this year. I think they overpaid Pace a little, but it's still a solid pickup and Faneca especially is an upgrade. If the Bills get Bryant Johnson then I would actually give them the best shot at challenging NE this year. They made good moves. Mitchell is an excellent player. Stroud is a gamble, but could potentially be huge.
As for Miami, well we did get some good young players. No immediate stars, but solid role playing guys who will help the team. It almost feels like we just had our 2003-2004 draft the last couple of days. I like the addition of Wilford especially. He's a known hard worker. I'm hoping that he can be a good possesion receiver for us and out jump smaller CB's in the redzone. (what I like to call "The Gadsden Maneuver" ) Smiley should be solid at G for not too much money and hopefully Ferguson can stay healthy.
