Mike Vrabel's Patriots have made excellent strides in a single offseason. He's raised expectations to an extent that the 2024 last-place Pats are now looked upon in numerous circles as a playoff-contending team. That's no small feat.
Vrabel's reconstruction has included bringing in several players to replace the 2024 versions. Better players were signed in free agency, the draft, and even in undrafted free agency. On offense, he brought in more than half a dozen new offensive linemen, along with multiple receivers and running backs. All should be upgrades.
He also added playmakers to each level of the defense.
