Another year, another fantastic draft in the books.And for many teams, positive draft results on the heels of a productive free agency period equal renewed hope in a league built for turnarounds from one season to the next.Here are nine NFL squads destined to improve on their respective records from a year ago and generally take it up to the next level.NOTE: Click on team names to view entire draft hauls.1) (2014 record: 8-8)The are poised to make the playoffs this year. And if they don't, they will find a head coach who will take them there in 2016.Yes, I love what Miami has done this offseason. is a game changer. He makes everyone around him better. On Friday, Mike Tannenbaum joined my SiriusXM Radio show, "Schein on Sports," and the executive vice president of football operations compared Suh to Curtis Martin in that regard. He's right. Suh makes every level of the Miami defense better. He's worth every penny.Getting rid of malcontent was addition by subtraction. Trade acquisition and free-agent signee improve the receiver position, but the real coup was drafting with the 14th overall pick."He's an interesting player because he is coming in with a lot of production: 156 catches," Tannenbaum told me. "He can high-point the ball and he has really good ball skills and good change-of-direction and can run all the routes. He has good play speed, not just time speed. He's really good in traffic and the red zone. And when the field is compre sed, he makes a play on the contested ball -- and that's really important."Parker dropped right into Miami's lap on Thursday night. The Louisville product will be in play for Offensive Rookie of the Year -- he's that perfect a fit for , who grew at the quarterback position last year and is destined to truly blo som in 2015. Tannenbaum raved about Tannehill's talent, work ethic, love of the game and toughne s. He rightly stated, "I'm really excited he's here, and our future is bright, and I'm really comfortable with him as the leader of our football team."I'm not a big believer in Joe Philbin as an NFL head coach Ken Hodge Jersey . With all the talent now in South Beach, he's out of excuses. Behind Suh, Tannehill and Parker, among others, Miami should climb into the postseason.2) (2014 record: 4-12)BREAKING NEWS: The NYPD is looking for general manager Mike Maccagnan, who's wanted for stealing talent in the 2015 . is the best defensive player -- and quite po sibly, the best overall player -- in this draft cla s. , pointing out that Todd Bowles' defense could be the best unit in the NFL after adding some dynamic pieces this offseason.But wait, there's more!The needed a receiver on Day 2, and they brilliantly picked up Ohio State speedster , an ideal addition. They needed depth at quarterback and snatched in Round 4. That's value. Lastly, I liked . Maccagnan, running his first draft, picked with aplomb.Now, no more excuses for . The will win about eight games this year and be in the mix for a wild-card slot. But like Maccagnan's old team, the , Gang Green will fall a game short of the playoffs.3) (2014 record: 10-6)At the beginning of April, -- if they were to enjoy a solid draft.Well, per usual, Ozzie Newsome, Eric DeCosta, John Harbaugh and Co. just dominated the draft.Baltimore replaced receiver , who left via free agency, by drafting a better version of : . He has the size, speed and sponge-like propensity for learning to be an instant succe s with in the vertical pa sing attack.Tight end and defensive lineman were great Day 2 picks. And Ozzie predictably found depth and potential gems on Day 3.Baltimore will improve by winning the AFC North and by making it to (at least) the AFC title game.4) (2014 record: 3-13)I think Jacksonville drafted a whopping five players who can contribute right away. Jr. was the best pure edge rusher in the draft. can start at running back, while should start in the interior of the O-line. Defensive back is a perfect fit in Gus Bradley's defense. Receiver can play and will help in the pa sing attack.It's a big year for Bradley and Dave Caldwell. The coach and general manager both need to show progre s. I believe in the combo and believe the Jags, who , will surprise some folks with the arrow pointing up.5) (2014 record: 3-13) in Round 1 -- the won the opening night.Oakland suddenly has a good young core and an energetic new coach in Jack Del Rio.The are on track to win eight games and perhaps avoid the basement in the AFC West. That's progre s.6) (2014 record: 7-9)Minnesota did the right thing -- the only thing -- when it came to . Though Peterson tried to drive the bus out of town, GM Rick Spielman and coach smartly held their ground. Why? Because remains one of the best running backs in the NFL. He will thrive in coordinator Norv Turner's offense and significantly help in the development of second-year pro , who enjoyed a solid rookie year despite not having Peterson beyond the season opener, at quarterback.I loved the pick at No. 11. The Michigan State product is a legit lockdown corner prospect, perfect for Zimmer's defense. Also, I thought the Vikes stole linebacker in Round 2 and offensive lineman in Round 4 -- the latter would've gone much higher if he didn't have some health concerns.7) (2014 record: 6-10) -- the should've nabbed instead -- but Atlanta made up for it as the draft progre sed.I loved the pick in the second round. The big LSU product is a Dan Quinn kind of corner.And the got tremendous value in Round 3, drafting Frederic Brunet Jersey running back . I thought he was a second-rounder. He should start for Atlanta.Truthfully, though, the biggest offseason pickup for Atlanta was Quinn himself. With his coaching style and infectious personality, the ' defense will be vastly improved -- and the team's win total will spike, thanks to improved toughne s and general play.8) (2014 record: 6-10)The have long been an offseason media darling, with many annually picking them to surprise and make the playoffs. With the and firmly entrenched as the cla s of the NFC West, I'm not quite ready to make that exact proclamation. But I do think the will be much better than last year and compete for a wild-card slot. is a legit starting quarterback. And the backed him up in savvy fashion by drafting late in Round 3. This represents a vastly improved and more reliable quarterback depth chart than the one St. Louis rolled out in 2014.What really stands out, though, is the selection of . Appearing on my SiriusXM Radio show Friday morning, GM Les Snead appropriately called Gurley, "A once-in-a-while special talent." And the , according to Snead, have a smart plan with the running back, who is coming off ACL surgery. They want him to pace himself -- there's no rush or time frame for him to be game ready.On Day 2, Snead and coach Jeff Fisher addre sed a major area of need -- the offensive line -- taking and . They'll help Foles and Gurley.9) (2014 record: 10-6) how I love what Chip Kelly has done (with the exception being his actions at the quarterback position, as the injury-riddled and overmatched don't inspire much confidence). And I thought Chip acted responsibly when he refrained from overpaying in free agency. Not surprisingly, the drafted Maclin's replacement, scooping up with the 20th overall pick. He's a legit WR1, one of the best route-runners in a loaded receiver cla s. Then Philly loaded up with defensive reinforcements the rest of the draft.The new-look are poised to win the NFC East for the second time in Kelly's first three years at the helm.Follow Adam Schein on Twitter .
