The Dolphins just narrowly missed the playoffs going 10-6 in the 2nd year of their rebuild while the Bills made it as far as the AFC Championship before being eliminated. The New England Patriots are looking to get back on top, and they spent big in Free Agency to try and get there. The NY Jets are looking to the future, with 7 picks in the first 2 rounds in the next 2 years.
