Would our D be as dynamic

Given that Wilfork is 31 (I think), he just tore his achilles and due 10.98 million next year, I believe it's very possible NE releases him (unless he takes a paycut).

Agreed. Opposing O-Lines would have issues defending both Star and Wilfork at the same time. Either way, I see G-Man drafting an interior lineman hybrid like Aaron Donald or Dominique Easley to replace Dwan Edwards.

I believe Gettleman will keep Cole or Dwan and we will go O-line heavy next year.

 

You don't find guy's like Wilfork unless your drafting high, which Patriots might have 2 do. NT in  3-4 defense is crucial part of the defense especially in the run game which there average has gone up without Wilfork.

If we had re signed Peppers to his current mega deal?

 

Chicago D seems to be sucking air and Pep still finishes games with the cleanest uniform on the team.

 

Personally, I am happy for Chicago and the Panthers about his departure

 

No doubt but Julius Peppers had great talent in his prime even though he was inconsistent at times. However, if the Panthers had paid him  the money Chicago did, the hit would have  been a big crunch on our salary cap.

 

Forget Peppers,I am elated with Hardy and Johnson as or DE's,just  hope we are able to resign Hardy,a vital and proven part of our front four..

Eh, I don't see G-Man drafting more than two OL. Remember, we drafted a LB when we assumed that position was all-clear. Don't be surprised if we draft a DT/DE, LB or S again if he finds a superior talent. His philosophy is BPA (building from the bottom).

Well, the 2014 draft will feature five great DT talents and I doubt more than two will go in the Top 15. The Pats could very well target a new NT in the draft.

 

Remember this is not only Gettleman input and in order for this team to compete next year and we have to take a another step  to build the Offensive side. Especially in the lower rounds (2-5) we can pick up  key pieces TE, WR, Tackle, Guard. The Defense is in good position besides secondary where we could get help. 

 

Especially playing AFC North & NFC North next year where we face 3-4 defense and High powered offense.

 

BPA  and Needs. 

 

drafting a LB/DE/DT - 2nd round vs drafting OG /T/TE

 

I believe the T/OG/TE would have far more impact vs a LB/DE/DT would would come behind a deep rotation of Luke, Davis, Blackburn, Hardy, Johnson,& Addison.
