The Patriots appear to have oodles of money until you read that the projected value for Godwin is 20 million peer year. Twenty doesn't go into 58 million very many times.

To have any chance to compete, the Patriots need a much better veteran quarterback than Cam Newton. As you mention, the draft picks that you forfeit may cause the loss of a good wide receiver or tight end.

The Patriots have to be aggressive just to fill out their 53 man roster. In addition to weaknesses at many spots, they have more than 20 additional free agents in March to replace.

Slow and soft will fit in nicely.

I hope the Patriots rely more on their scouting staff this year while making draft picks. Their luck dealing with Belichick's pals like Saban and Harbaugh is running thin.

We have to judge this team assuming they lose most of their 20 free agents. During the last few years, most of the good ones have departed.

It would be nice to see the Patriots draft the highest ranked players rather than the players that impress BB in the interviews and get drafted four rounds too early.

Re-Sign Newton Re-Sign Byrd Re-Sign Eluemanor Let the other 18 free agents test the market.

Who is smart enough to choose the wide receivers once the quarterback is set? He currently isn't employed by this team.

The defensive backs on the roster consists of 6 unrestricted free agents, 3 undrafted players, and three draftees (Duggar, D. McCourty, and J. Williams). Based on his playing time, Williams may be the next second round failure.

The Patriots could use some help in drafting players. Too many #2 picks wasted on mediocre defensive backs (better luck with undrafted DBs), no recent success in evaluating wide receivers who can fit the system, and drafting offensive tackles who have slipped in the draft due to being injured...

I don't think the Patriots have to scheme to lose to the Jets. They are lousy enough to lose on their own.

The Patriots will be interested in the latter plus injured offensive linemen draftees.

What can you expect when you draft players one to four rounds ahead of where they are ranked?

Despite the pletho All of the players BB signs will be mid-tier players at best. Can you see him signing a player like Godwin for $17 mil per year?

It is not as simple as adding players to this current roster to get better. You have to account for any players you lose to free agency. If the Pats lose Andrews, Thuney, Butler, Guy, and Wise, the Pats will have their holes to fill in addition to getting some competent wide receivers and...

The only problem with your plan is that it does not take into account free agency losses. BB should aggressively try to re-sign players like Andrews, Thuney, Eluemuner, White, Jackson, Butler, and Guy. Otherwise, team strong points become weaknesses.

This team will gut automaticly when it loses most of its twenty free agents.

Bill Belichick has a monumental task ahead of him. He has been losing numerous good players to free agency and his drafts have not produced enough players to replace them. The shortage of inexpensive draftees has deprived him of the cap space necessary to invest in a few high end expensive...
