Musket Fire

● By Michael DeVito
Free agency is approaching, and the draft will follow not long after. Patriots head coach Mike Vrabel has a monstrous challenge ahead with a roster that needs Supercuts and a shave, aka a massive makeover. The good news is that he has a lot of cap space and top draft picks to deploy to get that job done. Vrabel's offseason strategy, as reflected in this draft, is twofold and may be unprecedented. First, he'll allocate the majority of his cap space in free agency to restock his defense. Vrabel is a defensive coach and knows NFL players from firsthand experience. He will be more than able to select the several top players on D, who'll immediately upgrade that side of the ball. In the second phase of the reconstruction after free agency, Vrabel will employ the unheard-of accompanying strategy of drafting exclusively offense. This two-fold strategy may be unique, but since both sides of the ball will be dramatically refashioned, it's potentially kinetic. So, Let's go and draft just offense in this mock draft.
