The AFC East is next up in our series of divisional breakdowns. ESPN.com's Mike Sando has analysis of all four teams:

Patriots: The defending AFC champions have questions to address in their offensive line and secondary.
Jets: Trouble may be looming in New York with disgruntled tight end Chris Baker, and the team still unsettled at the quarterback position. (SportsNation poll: Who should start under center for the Jets?)
Dolphins: Coming off a 1-15 campaign, the team has turned up the intensity of the offseason program while quickly striking deals with most of its draft choices.
Bills: The implementation of Buffalo's new offensive scheme is being overshadowed by All-Pro left tackle Jason Peters' contract concerns.

Meanwhile, the analysts at Scouts Inc. say that although the Patriots are far and away the best team in the division, the Dolphins made the biggest splash [Insider] of the offseason by hiring Bill Parcells.

ESPN.com's Jeffri Chadiha and Marcellus Wiley summarize the biggest challenges facing each AFC East team on "NFL Live."

New England Patriots, New York Jets, Miami Dolphins, Buffalo Bills
