9. Patriots will reload
Last year, the New England Patriots came up short in their quest for a Lombardi Trophy. So they identified their biggest weakness -- the receiving corps -- and bolstered it with Wes Welker, Donte' Stallworth and Moss.
This offseason, the secondary needs help. Cornerback Asante Samuel is free to leave as a free agent, and he most certainly will depart. Cornerback Randall Gay is due to become a free agent as well, and the team is unlikely to use the franchise tag on him. Safety Rodney Harrison might retire.
So look for the Patriots to address this area aggressively via free agency and the draft. It's the team's only real weakness. Based on the Giants' last drive in the Super Bowl, it's a big one.
