Minnesota Vikings: Brett Favre is retired. (Cough*yeahright) Without the NFL's best sexter, what will the Vikings do? Go get themselves a QB, I suppose. Sidney Rice, Ray Edwards, Pat Williams and Chad Greenway are just some of the team's many potential free agents. Minnesota's offensive line was just that this season, offensive. Every QB that trotted onto the field was battered and beaten by game's end. They must get younger on the line, now.
The Vikings still have a chance to be very effective defensively, if they can get back to rushing the passer and upgrade the secondary a little bit.
Detroit Lions: Since ridding themselves of Matt Millen, the Lions have made quite the turnaround. Shocking, I know! Detroit has the opportunity to add a few more pieces this off-season to make themselves into a contender.
The Lions need to add talent in the secondary, particularly at CB. Other than Alphonso Smith and Louis Delmas, it is a collection of misfits back there. OLB is another upgrade area. It seems crazy, but that is it for Detroit's immediate need areas. They can actually look at the best player available this year. Who woulda thunk it just a few years ago?
Green Bay Packers: Aside from Cullen Jenkins, the Pack have little to worry about in the Free Agency game. Green Bay has the ability to dominate games on both sides the ball, but hasn't been able to find consistency doing that.
Therefore, the team can look to upgrade everywhere, addressing depth issues at RB, CB, OG, WR, TE and OLB.
Chicago Bears: Daaaa Bearse, clearly held a firm grip on the division all year, but where did they come from? Aside from the folks near the shores of Lake Michigan, did anyone believe this team would be where they are today... on the verge of the Super Bowl? Lovie Smith sure worked his magic.
Looking over the roster, do any of Chicago's WR keep DC's awake at night? I don't think so. The Bears can use an infusion of talent there, along with supports for OT, OG, CB and OLB. It's hard to argue with success, but what they do in this draft could be critical to their ability to contend year after year.
