They are pretty good at drafting on the Oline, but their starting WRs (Hogan, Amendola, Cooks), RBs (Lewis, Burkhead, Blount), DBs (Chung, Gilmore, Coleman), LBs(Ninkovich, McClellin, Van Noy) and DL( Ealy, Branch) are heavily imported from other teams. And, obviously, many of their high profile players from past teams, such as Welker, were imports as well.

They are built via free agency, trades and Tom Brady.

That's not a bad thing, but they're actually pretty mediocre in the draft.
