I voted for pass rush, I love that most of the secondary will be back (hopefully Bodden resigns) and if a consistent pass rush can be established, it would take some pressure of the secondary and give them a chance to make some game changing plays.

This offseason, it's almost like Belichick is saying, "I'm never going to let that happen again."

I think a decent running back might do more to protect Brady than anything else. The Patriots offense is totally one dimensional and teams are going to continue relentlessly come after Brady until the Patriots can prove that they can run the ball.

true that. we could get someone decent in the 2nd round like a matthews or jonathan stewart. cj spiller i don't see dropping to 22. if the pats decide to trade up, he's the guy to get.

but light is getting older, neal retiring, kaczur is just not good. they definitely need an upgrade here. plus baltimore found holes in our oline that worries me greatly. brady just didn't have much time to throw.

Or just perhaps our fine receivers Stanback and Aiken weren't open enough.

I don't want to see Stanback or Aiken as anything but STers this year

In other words don't fu^k up and draft another Chad Jackson,The future depends on a bonafide WR to be drafted.

This draft is a 'must do well draft' and we need to hit it near perfect with moves and selections or it could spell doom for years with more mediocre to flat out sucky picks.

I don't want that stupid ass 'look for value' idea to move down with your top picks and get more mid round picks this year,Its time to get a first round talent and pay them what they are worth as a #1

I agree on Aiken and Stanback, but I'd rather see a free agent wide receiver signed on than one taken in the first round.

I hope they get another stud O lineman, but they need a pass rusher much more IMHO. The Patriots OLine gave up zero sacks in 6 different games. Despite the 5th highest pass attempts of any team in the NFL, the OLine gave up the 3rd fewest sacks in the entire NFL (18 sacks). Even their running game averaged over 4 yards a carry. They have a Pro Bowler in Mankins, and likely future star at tackle in Sea Bass, and the OLine set the franchise record this year in consecutive pass attempts without a sack.

On the other hand QB after QB sat back there seemingly all day looking for the open receiver. The QB pressure was at times non-existant. It was the worst I've ever seen as a life long Pats fan. They were 23rd in the league in sacks, and it seemed worse than that.
