AFC East
New England Patriots- WR
Through the first four weeks of the season, the New England Patriots needed an offensive line. Tom Brady didn’t have enough time in the pocket to do anything productive, and the Patriots’ offensive line was exploited during their Week 4 loss to the Kansas City Chiefs.
Since then, the Patriots offensive line has been fantastic. Their whole team has been fantastic, but the Patriots still feel like they’re missing Randy Moss. Obviously, I don’t mean the actual Randy Moss, but a player like him that can stretch the defense and command double coverage every down. Rob Gronkowski is the Patriots best player and best weapon offensively, but can you imagine him alongside a dominant receiver?
The Patriots might win the Super Bowl this season, but they can automatically secure another deep playoff run next year by adding a star receiver this offseason.
Buffalo Bills- QB
No offense to Kyle Orton because he’s been great this season at times, but he’s Kyle Orton.
With the dominant defensive line, good receivers, and solid running backs, the Bills really would be a legit playoff team if they had another quarterback. They still might get in with Orton, but 14 touchdowns and 8 interceptions just isn’t good enough to become a contender.
Miami Dolphins- Coach
Like the Bills, all the talent is there for Miami to be a really good team. Unlike the Bills, Miami has a good quarterback who can take them to where they want to be.
Unfortunately, I think Joe Philbin has to go. He’s a good coach, don’t get me wrong, but he’s not the coach built to lead these Dolphins. I don’t know who is exactly, but there’s no reason the Dolphins, with offensive weapons all over the field and a good defense, should be 7-7.
New York Jets- Everything except DL, LB
Well, it’d be nice if the Jets actually spent some money on some players over the offseason.
I don’t want to get too far into because the Jets need help at, literally, every position. But, on the surface, a good quarterback would surely help. I don’t know if that means going out and getting a free agent QB or drafting another QB, but something has got to give with the Jets. They have to spend the money this offseason!
Next: Steelers, Bengals, Ravens, Browns
