The 2015 NFL draft is only weeks away, and now that the big free agency frenzy is over, the needs for the New England Patriots are becoming increasingly clear. While there aren’t many huge holes in the roster, there are a few certain areas that could use an infusion of young talent, particularly in the trenches on both sides of the ball. I have said from the beginning of the offseason that upgrading the interior of the offensive line is the top priority for the Patriots, and even after losing Darrelle Revis and Brandon Browner, I maintain that position. I’m not saying the Pats don’t need help in the secondary, because they do, but the offensive line is more important, as well as the defensive line, which is what I am going to focus on today.
