Probably too early to grade but a half-hazard guess.
Patriots - D. Resigned Moss which was big. But lost a few pieces (Starting CB, Starting S and top nickelback). Have not addressed aging LB's or gutted secondary. Patriots usually are not big on FA (last year was exception). They will probably make this up in the draft based on history.
Bills - C so far. Stroud is a nice player they acquired via trade. But he is not young and had a couple of injuries. Lets see how much value he still has left. If they acquire Johnson at WR will help some.
Dolphins - B+. No homeruns but acquired at least one proven starter (Smiley) and a few YOUNG solid guys who can start (Starks, Wilford and Torbor) with some upside. Traded for another stopgap starter in Fergunson who can help train our future NT's. Also signed some special team standouts (Anderson, Kircus). No overly large bonus given that can kill cap room such as a Joey Porter last year.
Jets - D. If they had a legitimate QB and a couple of playmaking WR's I might make this an A. But a team without a single above average player at any skill position (T. Jones is average and Coles can be if healthy) should not be spending so much on 2 aging players over 30 (Woody and Faneca). A declining 29 yo D-lineman with attitude and 2 major injuries in last 4 years (Jenkins). And a DE converted LB who has one season at slightly above average play and 3 with below average play (Pace). By the time the Jets develop a QB, Faneca and Woody will be in mid 30's and possible cap cuts. Jenkins is a wild card and you may be sursing the Pace signing the way Dolphins curse the Porter signing.
Good luck.
