NFL offseason power rankings: No. 25 New England Patriots had a remarkable offseason

The New England Patriots had as little talent as any in the NFL by the time Bill Belichick 's unprecedented run with the Patriots was done.

Last season , the Patriots suffered through a 4-13 season with a rookie head coach they obviously regretted hiring.

The Patriots signed 15 outside free agents for a combined total of more than $359 million .

The draft, led by offensive tackle Will Campbell , got the best consensus grade among all NFL teams.

New England has a win total of 8.5 at BetMGM , nearly double its 4.5 win total last season .

The Patriots haven't had a 1,000 -yard receiver this decade .

Mike Vrabel is a good defensive mind and he should have a positive impact on the defense.

It's hard to imagine the Patriots will be as bad as last season , but if the improvement is only a win or two it would be a disappointment.

Mike Vrabel is a very good coach and most of the players the Patriots brought in are big upgrades.

The product on the field will look completely different after adding many impact players.
