Surprise pick to win the AFC East. Thinking about the Dolphins they won the AFC East in 2008 and when you look at their offense last year they had an effective offense but then you think who their playmaker at WR was. They now have a playmaker and legitimate threat in Brandon Marshall. They will continue to dominate with the wildcat which they proven is not a gimmick with RB Ronnie Brown and Ricky Williams. Chad Henne isn’t the world’s greatest QB but seems to get the job done. Mike Nolan will be a nice addition to the defensive side of the ball as well.
NEW YORK JETS (10-6)
On paper the Jets have had one of the best off seasons in the NFL. They had some success last year and if Sanchez continues to improve and develop I’m confident the Jets will see similar success again. Shown Green is sure to have another good year and he has a nice backup in LT who in a more limited role should prove to be effective. Rex Ryan knows his defense and he has already built an impressive defense and made some moves this off season to improve it further. I got the Jets in second place but they could easily beat out Miami to win the AFC East this year.
NEW ENLGAND PATRIOTS (9-7)You read it right New England in 3rd place in the AFC East. The Patriots have regressed quite a bit from their 18-1 season in 2007. They have a young and inexperience defense that didn’t look too impressive last year. Tom Brady didn’t seem like he was back to his from before his injury and frankly I don’t think he will ever get back to the level he was at. I honestly thought the Patriots were going to draft Clausen with their first pick to eventually replace Brady don’t be surprised if he only last a few more years. The Patriots are still going to be a completive team but the competition within the division has gotten better and frankly the Jets and Dolphins are poised to be better teams this year.
“With the 1st pick in the 2011 NFL draft the Buffalo Bills select.” Sorry Bills fans your team is poised to be one of the worst teams in the NFL this year. Drafting a RB with their first pick was a real head scratcher. And who is their QB? They have no viable option at all. Not aware on any good WR on their team except for TO who is no longer there. One bright spot they do have Marshawn Lynch so naturally it made since for them to draft CJ Spiller! The Bills have a long way to go before they can be considered in the AFC East going to be a long season in Buffalo and Toronto!
That's it for the AFC East. Next time I will look at the AFC South
