The Patriots have a HoF QB that just puts the team on his back and carries them. I havent been impressed by their drafting. They hit sure and have plenty of misses. But they get veteran discount free agents that fortify the team every year. Guys chasing championships that arent all about money.
If we had a bonafide HoF QB and HoF head coach with some championships and a revolutionary cheating department maybe we could ignore need. But Dalton is not yet one of the greatest of all time. And Marvin doesnt out coach other teams very often.
They had a need on the DL and took an injury question mark DL in the first round in 2014. He just got cut. And they drafted another DL in the first in 2015. And they signed two pretty solid veteran free agents who play DL just this year. And one last year.
