The Chiefs addressed many of their needs with resigning their own players and adding some key pieces via trade and free agency. Though they retained offensive tackle Branden Albert via the franchise tag, they lost Eric Winston, their other starting tackle. With Albert ...more

The Texans have been searching for a complementary weapon to Andre Johnson for quite some time. And their lack of one last season led to their exit in the playoffs. Expect the Texans to grab at least two receivers, as they also look to replace ...more

The Bengals offense has vastly improved during the last two years, which included playoff appearances. But their rushing attack has held them back from being a top tier offense. Finding a feature back is a major priority if the Bengals want to ...more

With the release of linebacker James Harrison, Pittsburgh has a major need at finding a rush linebacker. Their pass rush has declined in recent years, which is surprising for a Pittsburgh defense. In addition to an outside linebacker, the Steelers could use upgrades ...more

The Miami Dolphins have been one of the biggest offseason spenders, but they were unable to lock up their former first overall pick, offensive tackle Jake Long. The loss of Long leaves a big hole on the offensive line, though the team ...more

Due to the Jets serious salary cap constraints, they are thin at just about every position. With so many needs, the Jets have the flexibility to upgrade at just about any position. Their top overall need though, does have to be ...more

The Cowboys haven’t been able to do much in free agency due to their cap situation meaning that they are pretty much having to rely on the draft to fix their needs.

The Lions lost both of their starting offensive tackles to free agency and retirement. While last year’s 1st rounder Riley Reiff will likely fill one spot the other is up in the air. Adding some interior linemen later makes sense as well since ...more
