Four Free-Agent Offensive Tackles Patriots Should Call After Abysmal Start

There's no magic pixie dust for vice president of player personnel Eliot Wolf and the New England Patriots given the calendar is about to turn to October. But that doesn't mean the Patriots shouldn't do anything about their most glaring issue after four games.

Somehow, the left tackle position has been an even bigger disappointment than expected -- and expectations were quite low. Chukwuma Okorafor, who Wolf expected would make the transition from right tackle to left, lasted 12 snaps before he walked away from the team. Rookie Caedan Wallace, who Wolf projected would be able to switch from right tackle at Penn State to left tackle in New England, has struggled with production and is dealing with an ankle injury.
