Their interior defensive line was a definitive weakness for the New England Patriots, and they tried their best to bolster it through free agency. But even though players were re-signed to multi-year deals and added from outside the organization, the long-term outlook of the group is somewhat uncertain particularly at the nose position: Davon Godchaux and Carl Davis are playing on two-year and one-year deals respectively.
While Godchaux is projected to serve as the top option at the position at least this season, adding a developmental player to groom behind him might be a good course of action for the club.
