Default Question: Besides Tom Brady...

. . . who can the Patriots not afford to lose if there is any hope of competing in (and hopefully winning) the Superbowl? Is there any other player that is completely indispensable?

Wilfork. Only because we don't know how Brace would do in the event that he had to play NT.

That is actually a good question and a tough one to answer. I think most people would agree that it would be Vince Wilfork. However, there are some teams that are able to get away with running a 3-4 without an elite NT. With that said, I can't really think of anybody else.

What about Welker? He's been the leading receiver (in receptions) for the past two seasons. Had the Patriots finished the deal a few years ago, he would have been MVP (I'm sure). He was the most consistent in the playoffs overall that year. He's been the most consistent throughout. I know he operates in the slot, and Moss is being double-teamed a lot, but maybe that's what makes Welker so necessary. What do you all think?

We'd have to see what Welker would be able to do without Moss lined up on the other side. Hopefully that NEVER happens.

How about Adalius? I think losing him again would be scary.
