I could see the Pats drafting defensively next season in the 1st round. But most defensive players aren't drafted in the first 10 picks, so yeah they might try to trade down. But their LB core is getting a little older. Even Rodney Harrison is gettin older. They've already got 1 star QB, good ass o-line, 1 star receiver, and 3 other role player receivers. Lawrence Maroney is a good back. Defense is still solid. Man I hate to say this but the Pats aint goin anywhere anytime soon. Bastards.
