Four draft picks between #31 and #95 could provide a couple of interesting, though inexperienced prospects.
The number/quality of NFL-experienced players the Pats might be able to acquire will be limited by their cap space situation. Even so, those guys would still be learning the Pats specific system and schemes from scratch.
OTOH, Marquis Flowers, with only 72 defensive snaps in his entire previous NFL career, and Eric Lee, with ZERO NFL defensive snaps prior to joining the Pats mid-season, both seemed to do okay. It would be interesting to see if either of them can improve on that with a full off-season and Camp.
seamless defensive repair via the draft:
1 - SS Ronnnie Harrison
2a - DE/OLB Hercules Ma'taafa
2b - FS Marcus Allen
3 - OLB/ILB Leighton Vander Esch
use FA on offense.....you have an old QB and there's really no room to 'develop' players at this time
