I don't know about the love for SD and Chicago. Both are aging teams. I actually think the Browns could be a pretty good situation for the right coach given the talent available if they weren't, you know, the Browns. Still, their new owner wants to be the Steelers and is willing to spend to get to that point. I would have kept Shurmur myself as the Browns got a lot better this year, but in almost every key position, they have young talent.
I also dispute the notion that the Redskins had just one glaring need. A lot of their defense are castoffs or overpaid (D. Hall). The receivers are better than the James Thrash years, but still not exactly Rice and Taylor. I actually think drafting Morris was the more intelligent pick in last year's draft. He's been dynamite and has carried the team in the games Griffin hasn't (see last Sunday's night's game).

Good points. I think success in SD will hinge on the ability to get Phillip River's head out of his ass. Somehow. He as shown in the past the ability to play at a championship level, and while the loss of Vincent Jackson and Darren Sproles hurts, he still has weapons and they will likely use a top pick on the offense to address one of those positions (in addition, I think we can all agree that Antonio Gates is done)
Chicago suffered from the injury bug, I'm still shocked Lovie lost his job over this. They are indeed aging, but think that Cutler & Forte have a good year or two left in the tank.
Philly is interesting - there is no doubt they have one of the strongest run defenses in the league, but the secondary could use a little help. Solid at TE, back field with a healthy Leshawn McCoy and Bryce Brown, the need consistency at WR and a reliable QB.
KC as I've said is only a QB from contending in that division.
Of the last 3 the Browns are probably best in regard of staff - young and talanted - will not contend next year but the following year watch out.
The problems in Buffalo and Pheonix are deeper than a position or two and would be a challenge without the now famous Mike Shanahan "5 year commitment"
