Free Agency Making Waves

We're less than a week into free agency, and already the open market is causing a stir. A lot of faces changing places, and, from a draft perspective, it is helping to make the pictures a bit clearer - or in some cases, a bit muddiers.

Kansas City Chiefs: The acquisition of Matt Cassel guarantees the Chiefs will not be using the No. 3 overall pick to select a quarterback. Instead, they'll almost certainly improve their defense. Look for LB Aaron Curry to be the pick for KC. Plus, think about how he'll be able to learn from the other Patriot acquired via trade, Mike Vrabel.

New York Jets: The Jets have once again been incredibly busy, signing former Raven Bart Scott and trading for Lito Sheppard. There are also heavy rumors New York will make a run for safety Jim Leonhard and cornerback Corey Ivy. As Rex Ryan continues to raid his former team, the Jets continue to present a draft day question mark. Will they target USC QB Mark Sanchez? If they acquire Ivy, will they still go after the best available defensive back? Are Florida State's Everette Brown or LSU's Tyson Jackson, both defensive ends, in the cards? And with the release of Laveranues Coles, is a wide receiver possible? Still a lot of questions left to be answered.

Denver Broncos: The Broncos have brought in four defensive players thus far, including S Brian Dawkins. I don't think they're done adding to that side of the ball. If one of the big three offensive tackles falls to them at No. 12, they'd have to consider, but with a new 3-4 scheme being put in place, I think one of the edge rushing defensive ends would be the fit here.

Washington Redskins: The signings of Albert Haynesworth and DeAngelo Hall (re-signed) mean the 'Skins will have a formidable defense this year. I'd expect them to make a run for one of those offensive tackles, perhaps by trading up in to the back end of the top 10.
