Hopefully, the Patriots will sign a GOOD WR and a GOOD TE. This will require a substantial
investment and not the one year for minimum salary for a bunch of hasbeens and neverweres.
I doubt our talent shortage can be solved in one draft and free agency.
We have lots of cap money,
1) We need a top WR who might get $10M a year during 2021 and perhaps more after that,
2) A vet QB and a 1st round QB will obviously take some cap money.
3) We need to sign some players on the inside front 6. Is it too much to ask to get 3 players or re-signs, including Butler and Guy as possibilities?
BOTTOM LINE
Of course, we need more than one year to improve our talent. But also, let be real. If we had added a Jones or a Diggs or some other top WR, we'd have been a favorite to win the division. To those who want to be sure of this argument, we should have traded for an inside DT or LB before the trading deadline.
So, we DO need a lot. However, we were only a player or two away, this year.

AS AN ASIDE, some believe that we are seriously deficient we aren't one of the Super Bowl favorites every year. For you guys, I'll leave you with your dreams of the past (or suggest that you might have more fun rooting for the Bucs).
