If one NFL team has been more productive than the other 31 this off-season, it very well could be the New England Patriots.
Of course, the final pieces of each puzzle are falling into place this week.
The Patriots had the most effective tool for transforming a roster, of course; the most salary cap space among all 32 organizations entering March. Despite the several pressing roster needs, having in place a young and promising early-first-round quarterback was a major benefit.
While NFL fans are aware of New England’s shopping spree with substantial cap space in play, it's interesting to look at the roster development following Round 1, and how the remaining needs could be addressed through Friday (#38, #69, #77) and Saturday (#106, #144, #171, #220, #238).
