How I see the AFC east
East:
Patriots-They won the SB so lucky or not they are the team to beet. They lost some role players on D, but more than what they did on the feild Cox and Buckley were the leaders on D. They added some good TEs, but can Antwan Smith and Brady repeat their outstanding seasons of last year? The answer to that question controlls their fate.
Dolphins-Obviously adding RW greatly improves a team that finished 11-5 last year. The Dolphins fate lies with the health of players like Gardner, Dixon, and Smith who all are returning from major injuries.
Jets-The expansion draft really hurt this team. The loss of the CBs was huge, but they did sign Beasley and Abraham. Sam Cowart really upgrades their LB core that was already pretty good, but his health is a big question. The lost a very good RT in Ryan Young and with theh loss of Szoct remaing one of the best o-lines in the game will be tough.
Bills-Had a great draft by getting a true stud a LT. He is probably a year or 2 away from being great. Untill he devolops their o-line is still not that great. Added a very good vetrean QB in Bledsoe, but untill he proves he can adjust to a new system and survive playing behind a shaky o-line i wont say he is their savior. Their D has some bright spots with a couple emerging DBs and one of the best young run stuffing DTs in Williams, but they have some holes at DE and safety. They are deffinitly up and comming but i think it will be another year or 2 before they can trully compete in the east.
