“We have a great foundation as far as young guys getting the experience of a long season. A lot of rookies that were starting this year,” Ninkovich said. “Getting that in is going to help us. Having a full offseason with those guys is going to help us. I think, again, our future is definitely bright, so we’ve got to continue to be mentally strong and learn from it.”
Receivers. Branch is done; Welkah will probably test the market, and the Bear Jew is limited. Torey Smith-like ability to get behind the defense is needed.
I’d agree, but I think finding the proverbial deep threat that is also smart enough to play in the Patriots system will be a tough challenge. Randy Moss was special in that way.
There’s a growing contingent of Pats fans who are okay letting Welker walk, and spending that money on defensive backs and new receivers. I can’t say I’m totally opposed to that. But I think they need at least two new receivers who can play. I’d be fine with just a bigger, physical receiver on the outside even if he’s not a straight up burner like Torey Smith. Smith fits the Ravens, run, then play-action toss deep offense, but the Pats will require more than a one trick pony.
Who’s got Patriots questions?
If you’re ready to talk some Pats yet hit me up. We’re finishing up our internal defensive analysis and will move on to the offense next week. Then it’s Free Agency, and Draft.
So you tell me, what’s the biggest priority for this Patriots offseason?

Great read on what is the greatest book on football ever written. While I don’t own one I did take a copy out from my local library a couple years ago. It’s as dense as they say. I need to go back and take another look…
The book reinforced Belichick’s own belief in detailed planning, which is why he calls it and Jack Welch and the GE Way the two most influential books of his career.
