Now we need to address the LT position, acquire a few linebackers, and draft a QB to develop.
And hope we won't need a new TE.

You spoke too soon; Lions TE Eric Ebron is going to pay a visit to the Patriots this Sunday.

A dual TE lineup of Gronk and Ebron, along with getting Edelman back should make our offense even better than last year. Assuming Brady doesn't get blown up from the edge every drive.
At this rate of burning through cap, it looks it's going to be Cannon, Flemming, and whoever we manage to draft at LT. Ught.

Stand around $15.6M of available cap space at the moment.

Ughh... he is not good. I would rather get a guy in the 4th or 5th round with some athleticism than him.

Need to set aside about 8 mil for picks etc

I thought it was closer to $4-5M to set aside for picks. Also, Pats could free up space by cutting Dwayne Allen.

Also, for those that don't already know it, this guys the best when it comes to Pats Cap info:

i would be absolutely shocked if they don't cut allen, he was a major disappointment last year, especially when Gronk was out.

That is barely enough to fit Nate Solder's new contract. Not that there is another player of Nate Solder's caliber out there.

He is a terrific blocker and was overall a positive contributor, but there's no way he's worth that 5 mil cap number.

I don't know much about Clayborn, but I'm gonna temper my expectations here after getting excited last offseason about the Pats getting Kony Ealy only to cut him early in the season.

Draft news.   I think Indy just took the Jets to the cleaners.  Desperation for a QB is a stinky cologne.

I guess they didn’t want the Browns taking Barkley #1 and then stealing their QB at #4.

Think so.  Now it would seem to force CLE's hand to draft a QB at #1 instead.
