AFC Team Needs

The 2014 NFL Draft is only a week away! The anticipation is almost too much to bare. Well, maybe it's just me. Anyways, with free agency basically off the grid until the draft is completed, I felt it was time to update each team's positional needs, starting with the AFC.

AFC North:
Bengals- OLB, CB, G, DE
James Harrison was a failed experiment, and with him out the door they still need an outside linebacker. I like Ryan Shazier to fill that void. But they may go cornerback considering their top guys are on the wrong side of 30.
Browns- QB, OL, RB, CB
The Browns need a quarterback, it's the same story every year. I think they'll select wide receiver Sammy Watkins with their first of two first round picks, and a quarterback with their second. An upgrade at guard is in order, other than that this team is in pretty good shape.
Ravens- OT, WR, SS, CB
As usual, GM Ozzie Newsome did a great job in free agency. Right tackle, wide receiver, and a safety to pair with Matt Elam are all more than worthy voids to fill with their first round pick. Calvin Pryor or Marqise Lee would be a solid fit.
Steelers- CB, OT, DT
It seems the Steelers are in need of quality offensive tackles every year. If Zack Martin or Taylor Lewan fall to the 15th overall pick, I expect the Steelers to take whichever is available. But I don't see that happening, so I think they'll bring in some youth to their secondary, Darqueze Dennard or Bradley Roby make the most sense.

AFC East:
Bills- TE, OT, ILB
The Bills have a talented roster, they're just very young, with subpar coaching, and play in the same division as New England. The one position that could most use an upgrade is tight end where Scott Chandler is the starter but a guy like Eric Ebron would surpass him with relative ease.
Dolphins- OL, CB, RB
The Richie Incognito and Jonathan Martin "scandal" put the Dolphins offensive line in flux. Not that they were that good to begin with (gave up 58 sacks last season). Right tackle and/or guard are going to be targeted early in the draft.
Jets- WR, CB, OLB
Eric Decker was a good addition, but what good is he if he doesn't have help? Behind him the wide receivers are not impressive, but Rex Ryan needs a cornerback just as much if not more! It's a toss up, he could go in either direction, but I think wide receiver and specifically Odell Beckham, Jr.
Patriots- DE, TE, G/C, CB
The Patriots have no quality edge-rushers behind Chandler Jones and Rob Ninkovich, that has to be a point of emphasis in the draft. And since Gronkowski can't stay healthy, another tight end is in order. Also a versatile offensive lineman who can play both guard spots and center. Also, planning for a potential life without Revis after this season.

AFC South:
Colts- OL, SS, WR, CB
Andrew Luck needs better protection up front, and more receivers. A replacement for Antoine Bethea is also in order, along with depth at cornerback.
Jaguars- QB, WR, CB, OLB
Head coach Gus Bradley is a "defense first" kind of guy, but there's no doubt he'll target a quarterback in the draft -- Chad Henne is only a stop-gap solution. The depth is thin at corner and wide receiver.
Texans- QB, DE, ILB, CB, WR
The Texans suck, plain and simple. Their roster is low on quality talent aside from J.J. Watt, Arian Foster, and a few other players. They need a quarterback, but I think Clowney is the best option with their number one overall pick in the draft.
Titans- DE, RB, QB, CB, SS
Ken Wisenhunt is successful with quarterbacks, so it's possible he can turn Jake Locker's career around. But he'll probably draft a QB of his own. Running back is also a position in desperate need of an upgrade. Look for pass-rushers to be targeted by Tennessee in the draft.

AFC West:
Broncos- G, CB, ILB, WR
With Zane Beadles in Jacksonville, there's a huge void at left guard and Xavier Su'a-Filo is potential choice with their first round pick. Middle linebacker must be addressed and Chris Borland would be a great fit. Cornerback is also pretty thin.
Chargers- CB, NT, OLB WR
San Diego will select a cornerback with their first round pick, this I'm almost sure of. Jason Verrett and Kyle Fuller may be the two best corners available at that point. If they don't select a corner, Louis Nix III would be a great choice capable being the starting nose tackle.
Chiefs- OL, WR, DE, CB
The Chiefs need a star wide receiver to complement an inconsistent Dwayne Bowe, and there should be plenty of options with the 23rd overall pick. They're also in need of a dynamic tight end, added depth in the secondary and offensive line, and bring in competition at defensive end.
Raiders- QB, DE, FS, WR
The Raiders' new regime looks to be headed in the right direction, despite their below average free agency haul. They signed a handful of quality veteran free agents this offseason but have plenty of improvements to make. Matt Schaub isn't going to lead them to many wins, so drafting a quarterback will be important. Bringing youth to their pass-rush should be an area of focus, as Justin Tuck and LaMarr Woodley are the two starters at this point. Also, Charles
