Patriots have to add pieces to solve puzzle – Football – Boston.com

Good breakdown of Patriots offseason needs from Greg Bedard…

This is not a case of the Patriots being one or two players away from a Super Bowl title, so it would be an upset if the Patriots get in early at the luxury level like they did in 2007 with linebacker Adalius Thomas. The Patriots have significant voids on the depth chart to fill — 14 by my subjective count — so it likely will be more prudent for them to cast a wide free agent net.
