Defensive End
If there lies a particular weakness in this Patriots roster, it has to their defensive end. In Adrian Clayborn, the Pats have signed a great defensive addition, but he is yet to prove his defensive credentials in the Patriots' system. After missing his entire rookie season, Derek Rivers will now have to prove his worth, along with the experienced Trey Flowers who enters his final year under contract. The likes of Deatrich Wise, Eric Lee and Keionta Davis will have to ably support if the Pats have any chance of reclaiming the Super Bowl.

The defensive tackle front looks weak, bothering the management and Bill Belichick in particular. They let Alan Branch leave, making us question their long-term depth. Much of their defensive prowess lies on the shoulders of Danny Shelton and Malcolm Brown, who enters his final year under contract.
