One question, however: where does "talent" fit into your scale?
As good of a scale as I have seen, nice work but... I don't think we will see the Pats sign 5 B type players.
$20 M in cap space ($8M is locked up for Asante)
- 5 for rookie
- 5 (say to 4-6) for in season replacements and some room to redo contracts
$10~ left to sign FAs
Michael Lewis SS/LB - $2M cap hit - Safety is not a critical need, especially strong safety
Jarred Allen DE/LB - $2M - cap hit - is a drunk and is still under contract with KC
Kevin Curtis WR - $4-5 cap hit, good pickup
Dre Bly CB - $3-4 cap hit - requires a trade, likely a 3rd rounder plus he wants a new contract
Donnie Edwards ILB - $2-4 cap hit, good pickup in a rotation
I think you will see thje Pats sign 1 or 2 of the players in your list as well as some $1M or less veteran JAGs.

I think you're really, really underestimating the market this year. I bet Curtis beats the 5/$31 that Randle-El got last year. We'll know soon enough...
