THE PATRIOTS ARE IN GREAT SHAPE.
We had the #1 Offense last year. We are in better shape now than we were in the playoffs.
We had a top 5 Defense last year. We are now three players away.
We are 11 DAYS into the offseason.
We have 7 weeks until the draft.
The patriots try not to go into the draft with critical needs for rookies to fill.
Therefore, we have 3 primary needs to fill before the draft or through draft trades.
We will also pick up veterans to compete for spots or as depth in case of injury
(for example, Aiken and Webster)
And then there's the draft and post-draft additions and trades!
