AFC East offseason exit interview 3 good

[lovelystyle]

The roster-building portion of the NFL offseason is all but over. Your favorite team's lineup is pretty much set, with the big names in free agency all snatched up and the 2016 in the books. More offseason exit interviews  How did your favorite team do addre sing its biggest needs heading into May and June OTAs? We're taking a team-by-team look with offseason exit interviews for each division. Next up: The AFC East. Three positives 1. They have plenty of offensive weapons You can argue that the Bills to land Sammy Watkins, but he ranked 9th among all wideouts in ' efficiency metric in 2015, despite mi sing three games (60 receptions, 1,047 yards, 9 TDs). The thinking is that he'll be even better in 2016 after playing with quarterback Tyrod Taylor for a full season. There's also LeSean McCoy who, despite mi sing four games, still among all running backs in efficiency (895 yards, 4.4 YPC, 32 receptions, 292 yards, 5 total TDs). Tight end Charles Clay is coming off a disappointing first season in Buffalo (51 receptions, 528 yards, 3 TDs) but he can be a difference maker. And then there's Taylor, who signed a modest deal Rasul Douglas Jersey  to join the Bills and not only won the starting job, but surpa sed everyone's expectations in the proce s (3,035 yards, 63.7 completion percentage, 20 TDs, 6 INTs, 568 rushing yards, 4 rushing TDs). The offense ranked 9th overall last season and there's no reason to expect that to change in 2016, partly because of the aforementioned playmakers, but also due to that offensive line. Which reminds us... 2. They kept two key cogs in very good offensive line Instead of losing both Richie Incognito and Cordy Glenn to free agency, the Bills re-signed both, which means one of the most dominant left guard-left tackle combos will remain in Buffalo for the foreseeable future. A year ago, the Bills were catching hell for giving Incognito another chance, but it paid off in 2015. Now he's signed for the next three years, and Glenn inked a five-year deal. Questions remain about the right side of the line but the Bills also signed center Fernando Velasco, an underrated veteran journeyman who solidifies the middle of the unit.   3. They addre sed the front-seven needs On paper, first-round pick Shaq Lawson was a . And second-rounder Reggie Ragland was thought to be the only inside linebacker with a first-round grade. And third-round defensive tackle Adolphus Washington could contribute immediately. The infusion of youth comes on the heels of letting Mario Williams, Alex Carrington and Nigel Bradham walk during free agency. And while the moves were all expected, the lack of depth was a Preston Smith Jersey  concern heading into draft. On paper, things couldn't have gone better. Whether reality mirrors that in the coming months and years is another matter.Three negatives 1. Two Ryans are probably worse than one Rex Ryan has been known to let his mouth get ahead of his brain when it comes to making grand proclamations that he can't back up. To his credit, he was more cautious with his words in Year 1 in Buffalo than he was during his rocky tenure with the Jets, but that all changed when he hired twin brother Rob Ryan this offseason. Rob, , is already blaming his previous employer for his failings -- and to take down the Patriots. So yeah. Worth noting: The Bills last made the playoffs in 1999; the last thing they need is more distractions. Also worth noting: The Ryans are known for fielding great defensive teams. Rob's underachievements have already been noted and Rex's unit ranked 24th last season, according to .   2. They don't seem  Dennis Kelly Jersey sold on Tyrod Taylor Taylor had an impre sive first season in Buffalo, but general manager Doug Whaley on him in the weeks leading up to the 2016 draft. The Bills eventually selected Cardale Jones in the fourth round, though he's more of a long-term project than short-term solution. That leaves former first-rounder EJ Manuel, who seems to be an afterthought at this point, and Taylor, who is -- and understandably, is angling for a new contract. 3. They could be without Shaq Lawson for a while On paper, first-round defensive end Shaq Lawson was a no-brainer pick. In reality, recent shoulder surgery , which does nothing to bolster a front seven desperately in need of bolstering. The plan was for him to replace departed Mario Williams, but that will have to wait. The good news is that the Bills still were able to upgrade the front seven this offseason. The bad news -- in addition to Lawson's prolonged absence -- is that Buffalo gave up two fourth-round picks to move up for linebacker Reggie Ragland. Yes, Ryan loved the former Alabama star, but it was a high price to pay on a team that is perpetually chasing the Patriots.Three positives 1. They hired Adam Gase, quarterback whisperer If anybody can fix Ryan Tannehill, it's Adam Gase. The 38-year-old first-time head coach arrives in Miami after working (relative) wonders with Tim Tebow in Denver, and then getting the most out of Jay Cutler in Chicago last season. Now he's tasked with getting perennial underachiever Ryan Tannehill on track. Last season, Tannehill was in the bottom third of starters, according to Football Outsiders, behind the likes of Josh McCown, Sam Bradford and Blake Bortles. That Ty Summers Jersey  doesn't exactly scream ." If Gase can change that, the Dolphins, a six-win outfit in 2015, could make up some ground on the Bills and Jets in the AFC East. If Gase can't fix Tannehill, Miami will almost certainly be in the market for their next franchise quarterback during the 2016 offseason.   2. They landed the best offensive lineman in the draft Based on the sheer ridiculousne s of the details surrounding Laremy Tunsil's draft-day slide, no one could have predicted that he'd  Lucas Patrick Jersey be on the board when the Dolphins went on the clock with the 13th-overall pick. Yet there Tunsil was, and the team wasted little time in adding him to an offensive line in desperate need of a big-time talent. Of course, questions remain about Tunsil's "character" in light of the "using a gas-mask to get high" video that showed up on social media minutes before the start of the draft. That said, it's not like Tunsil's the only player in NFL history to ever smoke marijuana -- more than that, the Dolphins sounded sufficiently satisfied to draft him. And if his addition to the O-line makes life easier for Tannehill and Miami's running game, it's unquestionably the right move. 3. They improved the roster with smart free-agent signings A year ago, the Dolphins mortgaged the future to sign defensive lineman Ndamukong Suh. The six-year, $114 million contract and nothing that happened during the 2015 season has done anything to change our minds. But this offseason, the Dolphins bolstered the roster with cheap contracts, which, in addition to having a franchise quarterback, is how you build a playo
