"When Mike Vrabel decided to accept the job offer to become the Patriots next head coach, he knew he was walking into an undesirable roster situation oustide of the quarterback. Although having Drake Maye as the QB1 was far better than no quarterback at all, much of the roster needed a lot of upgrading, especially around Maye. That led the new regime to prioritize the offensive line in this year's draft,"
"However, all that work might not translate to much in the upcoming season, as one problem persists: a lack of proper depth on the offensive line. It could become problematic if any injuries occur throughout the year, which could make one recently released veteran that much more appealing. The Patriots might want to kick the tires on Cowboys' veteran La'El Collins"
Mike Vrabel accepted the Patriots head coach job while inheriting an undesirable roster outside the quarterback. Drake Maye stands as QB1 but the surrounding roster required significant upgrades, especially around Maye. The new regime prioritized the offensive line in the 2025 draft, selecting left tackle Will Campbell with the fourth overall pick. The team also added a blocking running back, a center, and a seventh-round swing tackle. Depth along the offensive line remains limited, creating vulnerability to injuries. The Cowboys released veteran La'El Collins, who played 74 games (71 starts) and mostly served on the right side, making him a potential insurance option.
