1. Patriots
The defending Super Bowl champions are suddenly facing major question marks entering the season. Not only did the team lose a bulk of talent in free agency, but the rest of the AFC East seemingly gained ground on the perennial division favorites at the same time.
Darrelle Revis, Brandon Browner, Vince Wilfork, and Shane Vereen are only a handful of the team’s major subtractions, and since the Pats elected to be quiet in free agency, they’ll have to replenish the roster with a strong draft class.
