The NFL's NASCAR division just keeps running the same boring race each season, over and over. The result? Another offseason in which the middling teams of the AFC South face the exact same questions. So, here we go again. Can the find a QB? Can Wes Iwundu Jersey the build something resembling an NFL roster around ? Will the and ever make it back to the playoffs?This division has been an annual contender for the NFL's worst for nearly a decade, dating all the way back to 's salad days with the Colts. It desperately needs an NFC South makeover. The Jaguars have lost more games than any other NFL team since 2012, when Shahid Khan bought the franchise, and own the NFL's fourth-longest playoff drought, going on nine seasons. The Titans aren't much better, with an eight-year playoff drought of their own. And just so we're clear, a 9-7 record has won this division the last two seasons, with the Texans somehow getting to the playoffs despite uneven QB play. So what's to say anything changes in 2017? With free agency and the NFL Draft in the books, and training camp just two months off, here's how the division shapes up. Oh, Romo, Romo! Wherefore art thou, Romo?The Texans' offseason was a Shakespearean drama in three acts. There was a former lover scorned ( ), a failed pursuit of a new object of desire ( ), followed by a hasty, short-sighted deal (trading away a future first-round pick for ) to try to save face. If Romo had opted to fly south from Dallas and don a Texans uniform, instead of joining our team at CBS, the Texans would be a trendy Super Bowl pick. Instead, Houston, led by the NFL's top-ranked defense last season, is pinning its Super Bowl hopes on and his 92 career pa ses and Watson, the poised rookie from . While that's an infinitely better plan than sticking with Osweiler, who the Texans would've seemingly given away for a ham sandwich and a few Gatorades, it's still a huge gamble.The Texans were the talk of the league last offseason after giving Peyton Manning's former backup a four-year, $72 million deal that came with a whopping $37 million guaranteed. For that vote of confidence, Osweiler went out and completely sucked in 2016 J.J. Barea Jersey , becoming the new poster boy for free agency fool's good while completing only 59 percent of his pa ses and chucking 16 interceptions to 15 TDs in 15 starts. The Texans gave the a 2018 second-round pick just to take Osweiler, which makes the trade up for Watson even more dicey. With no picks in the first two rounds of next year's draft, and without making any splashy free-agency signings, the Texans will try to keep their Super Bowl window open with two unproven commodities at QB. Houston also let shutdown corner A.J. Bouye and starting safety walk in free agency, with Bouye bolting to the rival Jags. Demps, who signed with the , led all safeties with six interceptions last season. Still, the return of a healthy J.J. Watt should be huge, and the Texans likely got a steal with three-down linebacker , who fell to them at No. 57 overall. Cunningham should eventually overtake an aging , while third-round pick , the downhill runner from , should immediately help an eighth-ranked rushing attack that had to do the heavy lifting in 2017, given Osweiler's struggles. That said, Houston's running game averaged just 3.4 yards a crack, with (2.4 YPA) and (2.0 YPA) facing stacked defensive fronts that continued to dare Osweiler to pa s. If Watson ends up being the franchise QB that the Texans envision, the big move up to get him could help the franchise Josh Reaves Jersey recover quickly from the Osweiler debacle, but that's a big if. 'Exotic smashmouth' gets some air supportThe rise of the Titans is the talk of the AFC South entering 2017. Powered by the NFL's best offensive line, according to Pro Football Focus, and the two-headed rushing monster of and , Tenne se rebounded from a 1-3 start last season to challenge Houston for the division title. Those playoff hopes were crushed, however, in a 38-17 Week 16 lo s to the Jaguars. snapped his fibula late in the third quarter of that game, and the Titans wound up on the outside looking in at the playoffs despite beating the Texans in Week 17 to finish with an identical 9-7 record.The Titans spent the offseason upgrading their 25th-ranked pa sing offense and their leaky secondary, which surrendered 269.2 pa sing yards a game, third-worst in the NFL. They signed corner to a three-year deal and swiped strong safety from the Jaguars in free agency. The Titans did let go of guard and tight end , a key cog in their running attack, as well as backup center , but kept the core of their line intact, led by mauling tackles and . PFF graded Conklin as the seventh-best pa s-blocking right tackle, while Lewan was PFF's second-ranked run-blocking left tackle.Taking with the fifth overall pick in the draft was somewhat of a shocker, considering top safety Jamal Adams, top corner and top tight end O.J. Howard, among others, were still on the board. There's a po sibility that Davis would have still been around at No. 18, but that's a big maybe, considering the nabbed two picks later and the took at No. 9. Neverthele s, Davis fills a pre sing need, and the Titans went DB at No. 18 with speedster . While not exactly polished as a corner, Jackson is a freakish athlete who will help in the return game. He could also see snaps on offense, given how electric he is with the ball.The Titans then doubled down in the pa sing game, taking Western Kentucky receiver and tight Tyler Bey Jersey end in Round 3. The shifty, nimble Taylor fits best in the slot, while Smith will be tasked with replacing Fasano's output as an extra blocker while hopefully being an upgrade in the pa sing game. It's not hard to see the Titans as a playoff team, given the QB i sues surrounding the Jags and Texans, and the pieces in place around Mariota to help him evolve as an NFL pa ser. But what about the Colts? If you subscribe to Prisco-metrics, then the Colts should win the AFC South every season. Best QB, best team. That was certainly the case under Peyton Manning, and in Andrew Luck's first three seasons, where the Colts were a surprise wild-card team in 2012 and division champs in 2013 and 2014. But since advancing to the AFC title game after the 2014 season (you know which game we're talking about), Ryan Grigson's lousy roster-building and injuries to Luck have conspired to turn the Colts into an also-ran. The biggest offseason acquisition was new GM Chris Ballard, the former exec, who started quickly turning over Grigson's roster, especially on the defensive side of the ball. The Colts signed linebackers (Patriots), (Texans), (Titans) and (Patriots), defensive tackles ( ) and (Titans), and defensive end (Bengals). Center Brian Schwenke was also signed away from the Titans, and Ballard brought in wide receiver ( ) and tight end ( ). Ballard didn't DeAndre Jordan Jersey stop on defense in the draft, taking ball-hawking safety (No. 15), corner (No. 46) and edge rusher
