Charles Woodson is going to be available, what do you think? I think although he’s lost a step or two his experience and smarts would help the secondary in a big way. BB could plug him in anywhere and get good play out of him. I think I am the only pats fan in wisconsin, so I’ve seen a lot of packers games lately, haha

I don’t really see it with Woodson because I think McCourty is more of the free safety-type that would play his role. Greg Bedard had some commentary about this today on twitter and I agree with him. They really need more of strong safety-type and Tavon Wilson should be given every chance to compete for that starting job. Someone like Dashon Goldson is the best free agent fit in terms of type.

But really I don’t see safety as a prime need that needs to be filled with a prime free agent. Ed Reed would be an interesting option given BB’s love affair with him and his penchant for always kicking the tires on special veterans who may or may not be past their prime.

Aaron Schatz of Football Outsiders says that for the third-straight offseason, the Patriots’ biggest need is to address the cornerback position. Beyond finding a starter to play opposite Dennard, Schatz says the Patriots need a nickel cornerack to play in the slot. Given the team’s recent history of drafting cornerbacks, Schatz says it could be time to address the position via free agency.

I watched an interesting video about team building with BB today (see here) and he makes the point that you build your team from the middle out. The guys in the midde (OL/DL/LB/S/QB/RB) are they ones involved in EVERY play, whereas corners and receivers might only be involved in a handful of plays.

This is why I’m sticking to DT being the biggest need.
