The Patriots head into an offseason where there aren't any secrets about their intentions: add offensive linemen to improve a position group that was a weak link in 2024.
Last season, New England's offensive line ranked 31st in pass-blocking win rate and last in run-blocking win rate, per ESPN's analytics. They were also second-to-last in pass-blocking efficiency, 31st in PFF pass-blocking grade, and 32nd in run-blocking grade.
