The Patriots can afford a luxory or two this year....with their bounty of picks. All I know is that the 3rd down deficiencies have to be solved NOW. Give Brady more chances to operate and this team could be scary good....in the playoffs. Add some extra pressure on the QB and imagine the INTs this secondary could amass.
What luxury do they have? Sure they had a very good record last year but have lost their last two playoff games so clearly they are not where they need to be.
The key attributing factors were lack of a pass rush and a running game that didn't scare anyone because the defense wasn't respected.
With the 6 picks in the first 100, they need to hit on 4 with two being on the o-line and two on defense, preferably at OLB and 3-4 DT.
