2. New England Patriots — The team with the best record in 2010 not only is expected to return all its key starters, but also will get some defensive players back that missed all of last season. DE Ty Warren and CB Leigh Bodden will return to improve a unit that used opportunistic play to make up for a poor passing "D." The only thing hanging in the balance is the future of OLT Matt Light and OLG Logan Mankins. If they are re-signed, there will be essentially no turnover on the field. Bill Belichick systematically drafted mostly developmental prospects and won't have to worry about rushing rookies into learning the team's complex playbook to get on the field early.
