I submit that the patriots will be better than the team that ended the year even before upgrading via the draft.
I expect that we will sign the following free agents:
CB, S/CB, WR, FB, LS, DE, STer
e.g. Bodden, Lew Sanders, Furrey, Evans, Leach, ???, ???
Note that none will be major acquisitions.
===================
THE OFFENSE (much better)
Brady replaces Cassel
Taylor replaces BJGE
Baker replaces DeVree
Maroney replaces Faulk as one of the returners
We need to replace the production of Evans, Paxton and Gaffney (presumably from free agency). Note that, if necessary, Hochstein can be our long snapper and fullback, with Thomas as our backup long snapper, and Morris as our backup fullback.
=====================================
THE DEFENSE (work in progress, but should be at least as good even before the draft)
Thomas replaces Vrabel
Crable and TBC replace Colvin and Seau
Wheatley to replace O'Neal
Woods is back
we need a 6th DL to replace Wright
we need to replace or re-sign Lew Sanders
we need to replace O'Neal
Wilhite, Wheatley and Richardson should all be better with experience.
