Links to the Best in AFC East Coverage: April 5 Edition

New England Patriots

Here's a tip for Patriots fans: go to the ESPN Madden '13 cover vote and vote for Lions wide receiver Calvin Johnson. That is, unless you're as confident as Rob Gronkowski that the Patriots tight end can overcome the Madden Curse, as B/R Patriots featured columnist Aaron Dodge tells us. 

Comcast SportsNet New England had two great pieces yesterday: the first, a look at a new stat from Pro Football Focus, Average Depth of Target, by Mary Paoletti; the second, a round-up of mock drafts around the web from Tom E. Curran.

New York Jets

B/R AFC North blogger Andrea Hangst has her video take on the battle of Tim Tebow vs. Mark Sanchez, and says that a battle could be brewing.

While the signing of rugby player Hayden Smith may be unconventional and does have some potential, Brian Bassett of The Jets Blog isn't holding his breath.

Buffalo Bills

The Bills have a talented duo of backs in C.J. Spiller and Fred Jackson, and both figure to play a key role in the backfield in 2012. B/R Bills featured columnist Eli Nachmany speculates on Spiller's role in the offense next season.

Miami Dolphins

Joe Philbin has preached faith in the organization, but B/R correspondent Soven Bery is quick to point out five reasons why the Philbin era is off to a rocky start.

Craig Davis of the South Florida Sun-Sentinel writes that the Dolphins may be looking at changes to their logo for the 2013 season.
