In the third installment of my Building the Big Board series, I focus on what might be the Patriots biggest need. We all saw last year what can happen when a team becomes one dimensional, and it is not good. With Tom Brady getting older, the Patriots need to develop a running game to take some of the burden off of Brady’s shoulders, both literally and figuratively. The Running Back position has been devalued league wide over the years, so it will be interesting to see when the Patriots decide to pull the trigger on a Running Back.
