Is anyone comfortable with having the same cast coming back next year?I still feel this team doesnt have that deep threat.Branch will be 32 and Welker is what he is.A slot guy who catches passes underneath.I dont think Tate will be nothing much.Price is an unknown.

Branch and Welker better be back. Other than that, I don't really care.

They were good enough to score over 500 points.

Welker will be 100% healthy next year. Branch is a great role player, but I don't think he is a true #1.

I don't think the Pats need to build anywhere except the trenches. I'd like to see a boring draft with a lot of big, huge guys taken in the early rounds.

It wouldn't hurt to have one big receiver like Edwards, as it would just allow them to exploit another matchup problem.

Im more concerned with how Hernandez and Gronk will perform in their second years... They were the surprise packages for most of our opponents... After having such good rookie seasons, how will their second years pan out?

They have score 500 points but that doesnt matter come the playoffs.The playoffs are a different beast!!Its about execution.You have to worry about Branch because he's much older

Pretty obvious that Brandon Tate isn't the answer on the outside, we need a true #1, a big physical WR that TB can turn to when he needs a big play outside of the dink and dunk hash marks. Someone mentioned Braylon Edwards, that is exactly the type of WR we need right now to complete this offense.

Hey Rex have you met our new Tightends? Say Hi to Aaron and Gronk !

When Branch had to be open, he was open. Brady just didn't hit him.

I'm fine with short receivers when we have TEs like Gronk and Hernandez.

The big issue on offense is the OL.

If they can get better on D, this offense has more than enough weapons next year to make a good run...

TriplecHamp

Works in progress: Price, Tate, Edelman, Slater
knowns: Welker, Branch
TE: Crumpler, Hernandez, Gronkowski

I would like to add a WR target like Steve Smith of the Giants as a replacement for Branch who's getting up their in age and injuries. I doubt Slater returns.

Next year I'd like to see Smith, Welker, and Branch starting with Tate/Price coming off the bench and Edelman taking snaps in Welker's spot. There is always the possiblity of drafting a big target like Julio Jones or signing Vincent Jackson if the price is right.
