It's obvious it all comes down to the QB, but the Pats don't have one. BB might be able to land a marquee FA to fill another position if a throws out enough money, but I find it hard to believe anybody would want to sign there. Among most players, Bill has not had the greatest reputation over the years and it doesn't help now that this team doesn't have a good veteran QB as the buffer and the guy teammates look up to. I can't remember what former player said it, but the "mass exodus" of current veterans will continue when their contracts are up as I think they want to move on. Bill's biggest needs are QB, WR, DT, DE, coverage/sideline to sideline LB. Bill's best bet on the D-line is seeing if Trey Flowers is a cap casualty (which I believe the next regime will), but I believe he would end up with Flores in MIA.
Bill is going to have to do something he won't like doing and that's get aggressive for top FA's. No more calling at the last second which he's done over the years and missed out on some talent for Tom Brady. He's also going to have to do something he hasn't done in 7 years and that's draft well.
