"With the Buffalo Bills' loss on Monday Night Football, the Patriots moved to first in the AFC East at 4-2. Their next two opponents, the Tennessee Titans and the Cleveland Browns, are a combined 2-10. With the team on such an astronomical rise, adding further support should be a no-brainer. For New England, the main areas of need come on offense, specifically at running back and wide receiver."
"The latter of those defensive holes might be more of an offseason fix, but the former could be remedied very quickly. MassLive's Karen Guregian even suggests this weekend's matchup could feature the pass rusher New England's depth chart desperately needs. The New England Patriots could solidify their defensive front by trading for Titans edge Arden Key The Patriots rank 18th in the league in sacks per game at 2.2."
The New England Patriots are 4-2 and lead the AFC East entering Week 7 after the Buffalo Bills' loss. The next two opponents, the Tennessee Titans and Cleveland Browns, have a combined 2-10 record. Offensive needs focus on running back and wide receiver, while defensive priorities include another pass rusher and more defensive back depth. New England ranks 18th in sacks per game (2.2), with most pressure coming from interior defensive tackles Milton Williams and Christian Barmore. Edge contributors include Harold Landry III, K'Lavon Chaisson, Keion White, Anfernee Jennings, and rookie Elijah Ponder. Arden Key is identified as a potential trade target; he recorded 21 sacks at LSU and entered the NFL as a 2018 third-round pick.
