Nearly all of the pieces are in place to provide a fuller picture of the 2018 NFL season. Thursday's regular-season schedule release was the appetizer for next week's draft in Arlington, Texas.

While we already knew who each team would face in 2018, we now know the when and where as well.

The release provides an early glimpse into each team's potential future after free agency and other personnel moves. A few teams will be far better, while others will falter.

The league prides itself on parity, as evidenced by the five new division champions that emerged in 2017. The Philadelphia Eagles went from a 7-9 record and last in the NFC East in 2016 to a 13-3 campaign and Super Bowl champions this past season.

How much turnover will occur this year compared to last?

The upcoming season doesn't appear primed for massive role reversals, but a few surprises are waiting. Let's walk through each team's projected win-loss record based on its current status in conjunction with its upcoming path.
