Says Mel Kiper. Yes, they need major infusion of talent at WR, OL and LB, but above all need a serious attitude adjustment, as the team looked "disinterested" in the Baltimore playoff game.
Never thought I would hear that said regarding a Tom Brady led team.

Is there a link to his comments, or were they taken during an interview or segment on TV/Radio?
The Pats have obviously lost a decade's worth of attitude, accountability & leadership (and talent) with the losses of Harrison, Bruschi, Troy Brown, Willie Mac, Heath Evans, Vrabel, Givens, TJ, Grahambo, Andruzzi, and even Branch, Law & Seymour. And in almost every case, each loss has not been replaced with a comparable player in terms of either talent or character.
From 18-1 to 11-5 to 10-7: you are what your record says you are. And right now, we are a franchise in decline. Bill has one last chance to turn it around, and that chance is this year's draft. 12 picks, incl. 4 in the first 2 rounds, should be the ammunition needed to replenish the talent pool, as long as that talent also comes with love of football, coachability & self-motivation. We also need a couple of gems to be found in the 6th & 7th rounds, too.
I have no problem whatsoever with Kiper's words. The Pats' last 2 PO games should've told us that already.
