7-9, 3rd AFC East
Final
This is not a pretty picture for the New England Patriots, who have usually had a hold of their weaknesses. After a down year offensively, it will likely get worse losing Tom Brady and failing to bring in any sort of offensive weapons. They will bring back the same set of wide receivers, which is headlined by an older Julian Edelman. They also have N'Keal Harry and Mohamed Sanu, who both failed to make much of a difference later in the year. Sony Michel and James White will operate as the one-two punch in the backfield, while Jarrett Stidham projects to be the starting quarterback.

Stephon Gilmore is a cornerback for the Patriots, playing most of the time on the right side. Gilmore will shadow opposing number ones at times but fits in a defensive system that limits passing production.
The Patriots had a typical draft where they traded back and also picked a lot of small school players. New England will not be starting any rookies early in the season as they are still more veteran based and will rely on some second-year players too.
Stephon Gilmore and Jason McCourty are the two starting cornerbacks for the New England Patriots. This secondary ranked top-three against the pass last season, and Gilmore is coming off an award-winning season.
