We have Mankins, Faulk, Watson and Neal.
I think that there is a good chance that all will be re-signed, Mankins being tendered if necessary.
If all are re-signed, I think that we should expect the 2009 offense to be at least as good as this year. After all, we expect to have a healthy Brady for the entire season.
There would then be opportunities for upgrades, but there would be no absolute NEEDS on offense.
Personally, I think that Neal is always an injury waiting to happen, so I would use a top draft choice on an OG. And, yes, I would bring in the usual free agent suspects at wide receiver to compete with Tate, Edelman and Stanback for reps at wide receiver. I might hope to find to draft a running back who can also return kicks. But that isn't much of a list of needs.
