Well free agency isn’t over yet and I’m sure there will be quite a few more signings to come. It’s hard to predict what the Pats will do on draft weekend especially with that first round pick because the value in the second round isn’t all that much different than what you’re getting at 29.
I think they’ll fill more of those remaining holes, but when I look at where they need youth the most the interior offensive line is the first place that jumps out.
Yes we need pass rushers and that’s a big priority but the youth and ascending talent. If Gronk comes back, has a great, dominant year it’s hard to worry about tight end and with Chris Jones/Siliga/Vellano/Armstead, the youth at DT is okay to.
Just don’t see the talent potential nor depth at interior OL and it’s not like Dante Scarnecchia can be simply relied upon to make solid players out of nobodies anymore. Mankins is getting up there in age now and his salary is going to be a yearly issue now.
So if there’s anywhere they need to strike earlier than later in my book, it’s at center/guard.
