DJ's 12-Spot "Championship Foundation"

[jdlboot14]

This was an interesting blueprint and discussion. If you're not aware, you should check it out.
It's interesting enough to become a thread here... so do the Patriots have the "Core 12" that fit this criteria to be championship caliber?
1 QB
3 Offensive Playmakers
3 Quality Offensive Lineman
2 Pass Rushers
3 Back-7 Playmakers

1 QB - Maye
3 Offensive Playmakers - Brown, Henderson, (Boutte & KW may qualify?)
3 Quality Offensive Lineman - AVT, Onwenu, Moses (Campbell is on verge)
2 Pass Rushers - None qualify (Jones & Landry are capable, Ponder & Jacas could develop, but not solid)
3 Back-7 Playmakers - Byard, Gonzo, Spillane (Jones & Davis could apply too)

It obviously boils down to what criteria you use to define playmaker.

QB- check
3 O playmakers - Brown, then do 2 of Doubs, Henry, Henderson (explosives) count? Boutte would probably qualify as a downfield receiver based on last year's performance. I think Pop and KW have the potential to qualify.

3 Oline- AVT(*injury risk?), Onweno, one or two of WC, JW (rookies) MM (age)

2 Pass rushers- Williams, Barmore interior (I'm going to assume the intent is for Edge to be in the mix)? Not sure we have an answer here.

3 back 7 playmakers - Gonzo, Byard, one of Jones, Davis, Woodson. The overall quality of our starting CBs and Safeties should qualify.
