The Patriots are not the dynasty they are because they have a consistently dominant defense...or a consistent who’s who of superstars at skill positions.  Great coaching and a great QB goes a long long way.  

They need to draft Burrows and sit him behind a serviceable Veteran QB as they build the o-line.  They need to hire a seasoned defensive Coordinator.  Jonah Williams returning along with a 2nd round OL pick will help the line improve...not game changing but an improvement.  Cordy Glenn at G will give them 3 of 5 decent lineman.  But they will have to be more aggressive early in free agency and most likely overpay the right guys to come in on defense to help out.  With the last place schedule this team could win 6-8 games next season.  3 seasons from now they could be poised to compete with a good core of young players.

Exactly ! You don't pass up a chance at a very good possible franchise QB because you have a lot of needs. 

1. when will we be in this position again ?

2. Raise your hand if you think MB is trading up for whoever at QB in next couple seasons ?
