The loss of Tom Brady is going to weigh heavily on this grade, but there is reason to be concerned right now if you are a New England Patriots fan. Yes, the greatest quarterback of all time is gone, but so too are pieces on the defensive side of the football such as Duron Harmon, Jamie Collins, Kyle Van Noy and Danny Shelton. So far they have just added wide receiver Damiere Byrd and retained Joe Thuney, Matthew Slater and the McCourty Twins. However, Bill Belichick does most of his damage on the secondary free agent market, so odds are they are not done just yet. Still, what has happened to date is concerning for Patriots fans.
