The Jacksonville Jaguars had a fantastic season in 2025, but the NFL is year-to-year and teams must improve to keep having success. Jacksonville was one of the most quiet teams in the long so far this offseason and that may not be good enough to keep them moving upwards. If they want to actually take steps, they need to go BIG GAME HUNTING. The Tennessee Titans may buck the trends as a bad team and take a running back in Jeremiyah Love, but there is so much evidence to suggest it would not be a smart pick. The Houston Texans have rarely had smart picks on the offensive line and that trend must change if they want to solidify themselves as a contender. Finally, the Indianapolis Colts bet it all on Daniel Jones so saving a few pennies on the contract should not have Colts fans celebrating and especially not general manager Chris Ballard.

The New England Patriots are heavily rumored to be targeting AJ Brown in a trade, but for financial reasons, are waiting until June to make the deal. If this is the case, it gives the Patriots exactly what they need, but also allows them to sit out of the wide receiver part of the NFL Draft. The Buffalo Bills quit investing in receiver and it got them in trouble, with the trade of DJ Moore and potentially a pick used early in the draft, the Bills can reverse that trend and take their offense back to where it should be. The Miami Dolphins also need help at wide receiver after a major talent drain has left the Dolphins beached at the position. Finally, the New York Jets could also target a receiver early in the draft, but it won't be at pick #2. There, they must hit with a top-tier talent, no matter the position.

The AFC West is one of the best divisions in all of the NFL and this year will be another battle, but this time, there is a new team on top after the Kansas City Chiefs fell from grace. However, if Patrick Mahomes is ahead of schedule and motivated for revenge, he could make a push to regain his crown as the league's best player. Bo Nix missed the AFC title game, but as he bounces back from injury the Denver Broncos have put a Super Bowl team around him and it could elevate him to MVP status. Justin Herbert has the best offensive play caller of his career and if that can maximize his talent, Herbert could also be an MVP candidate. Finally, Fernando Mendoza may not have a shot at MVP, but rookie of the year is possible. Seems like though the Las Vegas Raiders could be looking to hold Mendoza back a little bit in favor of starting a veteran out of the gate.
