It’s a balance, but weighted toward best available. You never know for sure what your exact needs will ever be. So you just have to try and find guys who fit what the Patriots demand.

Patriots leave door open for Greg Schiano
I’d love to see Schiano on BB’s staff with so many of his former players already here. Between him and Lombardi there would be a good influx of new ideas and perspective.
Source on Schiano and #Patriots: “Sounds like he could go if he wants, but also considering taking the year off or doing media.”

As for the remainder of the team’s key free agents, it’s been completely silent on wide receiver Julian Edelman, and there haven’t been any negotiations with center Ryan Wendell or running back LeGarrette Blount, according to sources. And the Pats also appear unlikely to trade quarterback Ryan Mallett due to a faded market, according to a source.

Patriots to Meet with Aqib Talib – Pats Pulpit
Good sign that they’re in contact with Talib at the Combine. Don’t want to say that it’s rare for them to do something like this, but I can’t remember any non-draft business ever being reported during the combine.
