The Patriots did not re-sign Dan Connolly and drafted two guards in the 4th round
In this camp battle, there is not one but two open spots. Both sides are in an open competition with the best players will get to flank 2nd year center Bryan Stork. The offensive line was shaky at times last year, but they held together enough for the Patriots to capture their 4th Super Bowl title. As the defending champions, their opponents will come at them with the best they've got. The best way to fend them off is to give Tom Brady 3 seconds to throw the ball.
