Team Needs
  • DE: In a year when top-tier rush ends are available, the Pats desperately need to scoop one up early.
  • WR: There's no longer a true deep threat on the roster. Tom Brady needs one to be Super.
  • OL: Across the board, money and age issues have the Pats looking to bolster things up front.
