Offseason Question: How good is Mesko?
OK, so that’s not much of a burning question, but there isn’t much to go on with these three, who basically fly under the radar because of their consistency. Mesko has one of the strongest legs in the NFL, and he was tied for 10th in the league with an average of 46.5 yards per punt. He was third with a net average of 41.5 yards. Of Mesko’s 57 punts, 24 were downed inside the 20 (42.1 percent), 18 were fair caught (31.6 percent), three were touchbacks (5.3 percent) and 26 were returned for an average of 8.5 yards.
The Patriots don’t typically need to rely on Mesko to take over a game, but he is progressing into someone who could if called upon.

The Patriots might be the most watched team this offseason not named the Colts because it’s believed that coach Bill Belichick will reload by attempting to greatly increase the level of athleticism and speed on both sides of the ball.
I’m told Belichick knows he’s been getting away with all of this and wants to try and change things beginning this offseason by adding a fast wide receiver and more speed across the roster. We’ll see if he can.

There are a lot of opinions as to the Pats’ most glaring and primary personnel need going forward. Former Patriots great Willie McGinest voiced an interesting choice, well, for him. The three-time Super Bowl champion outside linebacker points to receiver.
McGinest, now an NFL Network analyst who did terrific work during Super Bowl week, cited an on-air chat with free agent-to-be receiver Reggie Wayne of the Colts.
“It came up in the conversation would he ever want to play for the Patriots,” McGinest said. “He smiled and said, ‘Who wouldn’t want to play there?’

Team Needs: CB, DE, WR. Their Super Bowl run proved once again that the Patriots are superbly coached by Bill Belichick and have a great QB in Tom Brady, which allowed them to overcome some personnel deficiencies. The team’s biggest problem area is the secondary, where the Patriots had to use wide receiver Julian Edelman late in the season. Their No. 31-ranked pass defense is somewhat misleading, as teams had to throw on the Pats once they fell behind. But the Patriots could not match up for 60 minutes with Eli Manning and his trio of wide receivers, so look for them to draft – or sign in free agency –corners and another pass rusher. The Pats need to re-sign or, more likely will franchise, free-agent-to-be WR Wes Welker and then add another impact wide receiver or two, while bidding farewell to Chad Ochocinco and perhaps Deion Branch. And the rich get richer – the Patriots have two first-round picks (No. 27, which they acquired from the Saints last year, and No. 31) with which to add talent.
