With the 2016 NFL Draft now in our rearview mirror, it’s time to reevaluate the AFC East. The New England Patriots were the only playoff representative from the division last season, but the New York Jets and Buffalo Bills were in the hunt for most of the campaign. The Miami Dolphins went 6-10, but have retooled with a new head coach and a number of on-the-field additions as well.
With that in mind, here’s a look at where these four teams stand as we speak.
4. Buffalo Bills
Brad Penner-USA TODAY SportsRex Ryan talked a big game about his defense last summer, and it ultimately failed miserably all season. Buffalo really hasn't made an incredible number of impressive additions this offseason, and will probably win no more than seven games.
3. New York Jets

2. Miami Dolphins

1. New England Patriots
