Every free agent class is loaded with game- and season-changing players and although some years boast more big-time talent than others, you can always find dozens of impact players.
And the 2016 class is packed with both players that can play huge roles on potential playoff teams, including Josh Norman, Kirk Cousins and Chris Johnson, and second tier guys that add much-needed depth, including James Starks, Tim Hightower and Will Tye.
