defense is good for a while , good skill position players on offense .
Needs
1) Help on the offensive line
2) another reliable receiver that can go deep
3) Legit starting running back
4) Pass rusher
Good thing the Pats don't have a 1st or 4th rd pick for no reason .....
(1) Agreed. I'm hoping the rookies improve with the offseason, and with our starting LT back. Pats certainly aren't going shopping for O-Line help, so it is either drafting or improvement.
(2) His name is Megatron.
(3) Either Blount will be back. Or, His name is Marshawn Lynch.
(4) They have some good pass rushers, and the D-Line is pretty good. It is going to be more a question of who they can retain between Jones, Hightower, Collins. Can they keep all three? Not sure the cap situation.
On (2) and (3), Megatron and Lynch are just for fun, but I could see those types of players coming to the Pats for various reasons (less so Lynch, though).
