AFC East preview: Patriots still rule, Dolphins to surprise in 2018

 

By Jeremy Bergman - Around The NFL Writer
 
With the dawn of a new NFL season almost upon us, we're going division by division to highlight the players and storylines to watch in 2018. Jeremy Bergman tackles the AFC East below.
 
Most significant changes from 2017
 
Fresh off its first postseason run in nearly two decades, Buffalo offloaded its starting quarterback by trading Tyrod Taylor to Cleveland and hand-picked a shinier, younger, taller model in Josh Allen by trading up to select him seventh overall in the draft. But the rookie isn't assured the starting gig in 2018, and maybe it's for his benefit -- Buffalo lost three starting offensive linemen this offseason, too.
 
One player to watch on each team
 
BUFFALO BILLS: Tremaine Edmunds, linebacker. Buffalo's other first-round rookie is the more likely of the two to start as a first-year player. After picking Allen, the Bills traded up again to select Edmunds 16th overall, and the middle linebacker has lived up to the hype thus far, save for some rookie growing pains. Edmunds replaces the departed Preston Brown and his league-leading 144 tackles in the middle of Sean McDermott's defense, a unit that, more than anything (aside from the LeSean McCoy-led running game), propelled Buffalo back to the postseason. If the Bills can maintain their top-tier takeaway tendencies once again, it will be because Edmunds held down the fort.
