I found this article to be very interesting and agree with many of the proposals. Sorry if this is a repost. Beware, it's Volin.

I'm so anxious for off-season news, I clicked on a Volin article, adn I actually agree with most of it. Weird.

Ben Volin: 10 moves the Patriots should make this offseason - The Boston Globe

Except for number 8 he was perfect imo.

10. Draft needs:

DE - We need a starter to pair with Flowers
LB - We need another playmaker
TE - We need to double-dip.
RB - If we can double dip ( assuming we get multipl picks for JG) better. Even if Blount is gone, Bolden is a expensive ST.

CB - Deep class + Butler/ Rowe/ Jones is better than almost everything we had in
the last 10 years. Rowe did a GREAT job against JJ
S and OT - They need S and T both for depth purposes.

Yeah, I found it to be damn near spot on in almost every category.

I see OT as a serious need. Vollmer will likely retire or be waived. I don't think Solder is trending in the right direction. Cannon stepped up unexpectedly, but we're an injury to either tackle away from disaster. Ideally , I'd like a tackle who could push Solder this upcoming season.

Solder, to me, has been so up and down. You never know when the whiff is coming. That said, Shaq Mason was such a disappointment in the SB. Many of us were concerned with Thuney, but it was the other G who struggled. He made Jarrett, who only had 3 sacks all season, look like Michael Bennett. He's a few years in now and he really needs to improve in pass protection. Great run blocker, though.
