The NFL Draft is now just days away, and coming off of a Super Bowl win the Patriots will look to improve a roster that returns the vast majority of talent on the offensive side of the football, while the defensive side still has some question marks after losing some key players this offseason.
The obvious losses are Darrelle Revis (Jets) and Brandon Browner (Saints), both of whom left via free agency and were key players on the defensive side of the football. However, they also lost linebackers Akeem Ayers (Rams) and Jonathan Casillas (Giants), which while not as significant, the two were decent role players and will affect how the team continues to address some needs in the coming months.
