Over the next two weeks, we will unveil our preseason All-Division teams, as is our annual tradition around this time of year. As always, the rosters were compiled largely by a panel of one, though there was significant input from the writing and editorial staff at CBSSports.com after I took an initial run at the rosters on my own. We'll begin today with the AFC East, then move through the rest of the conference this week. Next week, it's on to the NFC. Without further ado ... The quarterback selection for this division was extremely easy. Over the last two seasons, Allen has totaled 8,951 pa sing yards, 73 pa sing touchdowns against 25 interceptions, as well as an additional 1,184 rushing yards and 14 scores on the ground. He is one of the small handful of best signal-callers in the NFL, and the most impactful player in the AFC East on either side of the ball.The running back pick was quite a bit more difficult. Each of the division's four teams is expected to split snaps between at least two backs, with each of Stevenson, , , and having reasonable arguments to come out on top. Ultimately, what Stevenson showed last year, plus his expected emergence as the ' pa sing-down back, led us to settle on him.  Diggs remains Allen's clear-cut No. 1 target, and even in a Hamsah Nasirildeen Jersey  "down" season a year ago he totaled 103 catches for 1,225 yards and 10 touchdowns. Better luck connecting on deep pa ses will lead to an even better season in 2022. Even after leaving , Hill should still be one of the most explosive playmakers in the NFL, and accuracy should play up as he attempts to get Hill the ball in open space. Davis is a popular breakout player pick, and with good reason. The last time we saw him on the field, he put together arguably the greatest playoff game in NFL history, catching eight pa ses for 201 yards and four scores in Buffalo's AFC divisional round lo s to the .At tight end, there are several worthy candidates. is expected to be more of a blocker in Miami than he has been in the past, given the change to Mike McDaniel's Shanahan-style offense. and , and and are expected to split snaps in some form or another. That leaves Knox, who emerged as one of Allen's most reliable red-zone targets Sheldrick Redwine Jersey  last season and showed the ability to stretch the field as well.Moore was putting together the best stretch of his rookie campaign when he suffered a season-ending injury last year, totaling 34 receptions for 459 yards and five touchdowns in his final six games. He should be top target in Year 2, and his versatility to line up inside, outside, or even in the backfield makes him a dangerous all-field weapon.           Pick Six Newsletter   Crafted By The Best NFL Experts   Get the day's big stories + fun stuff you love like mock drafts, picks and power rankings.     I agree to receive the "Pick Six Newsletter" and marketing communications, updates, special offers (including partner offers), and other information from CBS Sports and the Paramount family of companies.  By pre sing sign up, I confirm that I have read and agree to the and acknowledge Paramount's .                 Please check the opt-in box to acknowledge that you would like to subscribe.       Thanks for signing up!   Keep an eye on your inbox.     Sorry!   There was an error proce sing your subscription.     The concern with Armstead remains injuries. When healthy, he is among the best left tackles in the NFL. Among 88 tackles who played at least 250 snaps last season, he earned the fifth-highest pa s-blocking grade from Pro Football Focus. Dawkins was not far behind him, checking in 13th. could have been another pick at tackle, but swinging over to the left side of the line opens some questions about whether he will be quite as effective as in years past.Tomlinson deservedly got a big payday this offseason and should team with Vera-Tucker to form one of the league's better guard duos. In Mike LaFleur's offense, the interior offensive line is quite important, and the seem to  Mark Gastineau Jersey have those two spots settled. Andrews is coming off a bounce-back season in which he looked to have regained his prior form. He was one of the most effective pa s-blocking centers in the NFL last year.Miller's stretch run with the last season re-solidified his status as one of the NFL's premier edge rushers. He collected five sacks, eight quarterback hits and 12 tackles for lo s in eight regular-season games, then added four more sacks, six more hits and six more tackles for lo s during LA's run to the Super Bowl title. In Sean McDermott's defense, he should shine. Judon matched a career high by playing 81% of New England's defensive snaps last season, and Bill Belichick showed his typical ability to put Judon in position to succeed. There's no reason to expect a drop-off from one of the league's most consistent rushmen.  Williams is an emerging player on the interior of Robert Saleh's defense, and his ability to rush the pa ser from the inside puts him in rare company. He's collected 13 sacks over the past two seasons along with 26 quarterback hits. Oliver is seemingly on the verge of his own breakout, and with the having  Vinny Curry Jersey added even more talent up front to play alongside him, that breakout may happen this year. (The good reviews of his performance from Buffalo's training camp are encouraging on that front.)The linebacker group in this division is lacking in high-end talent. New England has seen its depth raided by other teams over the past several seasons, and none of the players the have taken from the Pats have remained quite as effective in Miami. Therefore, we'll go with Buffalo's pair of athletic defenders who make their bones in pa s defense, rather than betting on New York's turning back the clock to 2018.   Who will win the Division?         TOP BET    Buffalo    Odds  +125     Probability       44.4%        New York (NYJ)    Odds  +250     Probability       28.6%        Miami    Odds  +300     Probability       25%        New England    Odds  +800     Probability       11.1%        Howard got his new contract and delivered another Pro Bowl season with another bunch of takeaways. He remains an elite po se sion-changer on defense and should be the foundation of Miami's defense along with Jones. When that duo is in the lineup, it is extremely difficult to pa s the ball against the Dolphins. With departing New Jacob Martin Jersey  England for Los Angeles, we'll be on Tre White making a succe sful return from ACL surgery, rather than a suming one of the Patriots' remaining corners or New York's hodgepodge of options at the position can outplay him.  Holland was a breakout star as a rookie, playing the same type of versatile role on the back end of the defense that Dallas' did up front. He can line up just about anywhere and play just about any role on any given play, and that is incredibly valuable. Hyde and Poyer are both still wildly underrated, even after Poyer finally landed an All-Pro nod last year. They might be the best safety tandem in the NFL.I won't lie. ... I asked our resident kicking expert (John Breech) who he thinks are the best kickers and punters in each division, and copy/pasted those names onto each All-Division team. Meanwhile, Berrios was last season's first-team All-Pro return man, and he has been a dangerous playmaker with the ball in his hands since his days at the University of Miami.
