NEEDS ANALYSIS
There's now a Gronk-sized hole at tight end and uncertainty surrounding the future of suspended wide receiver Josh Gordon. Bill Belichick has to find Tom Brady some pass catchers. New England obviously wasn't sweating the departures of Trey Flowers and Malcom Brown in free agency, but there's work to be done up front on D, even with the acquisition of Michael Bennett. Investing in young depth for the secondary and offensive line would make sense. Brady continues to play at a high level, but it wouldn't be a surprise to see the Pats take a flier on a QB to develop.

PLAYER
PLAYER ANALYSIS
Back-shoulder boss who thrives with contested catch opportunities outside the numbers but lacks explosive traits. Harry's ability to body-up opponents and win with ball skills is undeniable, but his inability to find a threatening top gear or shake loose from tight man coverage must be accounted for within his new employer's scheme. His experience playing inside should help and teams will love his impact as a run-blocker. His competitiveness and ability to come down with the ball could make him a productive member of wide receiver trio in short order.

ACQUIRED VIA
PLAYER ANALYSIS
Long press corner who has shown an ability to use his size and aggression as a zealot in contested catch battles. While he has traits to build upon, the Georgia game shined a light on his press inefficiency, lack of speed and inconsistent ball skills with his back to the quarterback. Coaching and scheme can improve or cover some of those areas, but the early results could be a bit uneven. If the technique catches up with the traits, the play demeanor and talent should make him a solid NFL starter.

ACQUIRED VIA
PLAYER ANALYSIS
Physical edge defender who plays the game like he has zombie blood pumping through his veins. Winovich is relentless, determined and takes no plays off, but his lack of physical traits and explosiveness as a rusher could limit his upside. Scheme fit could determine his role as 4-3 defensive end or 3-4 rush linebacker, but his football character and physicality improve his odds for success as an eventual starter.

ACQUIRED VIA
PLAYER ANALYSIS
Disciplined and rugged with a very strong sense of who he is as a running back. He operates with a good feel for blocking schemes and finds the designed yards while adding extra with his power and some elusiveness. He lacks game-breaking juice as a runner and will need to keep his weight down or he'll end up in the "grinder" category of runners. Harris is more likely to be good than great as a pro, but his size, every-down game and ball security give him a chance to have fruitful career as a solid starter.

ACQUIRED VIA
PLAYER ANALYSIS
Well-built with physical ability to stay in front of NFL pass rushers if he continues to refine his pass sets and improve his hand usage. Cajuste has the traits and talent but doesn't play as "bendy" in his lower body as expected, which causes inconsistencies with balance in both the run and pass game. He might end up being more of a positional and stalemate blocker than drive blocker in the run game so he will need to shine in pass pro, which will take work. He has starting tackle talent with the body type for consideration inside.

PLAYER ANALYSIS
Froholdt has primarily lined up at guard, but a move to center might give him his best shot as a pro. He has good power to absorb and neutralize at the point of attack, but there just aren't enough wins as an in-line blocker due to his lack of push. Froholdt also struggles to protect his edges through foot quickness or functional power and he should be able to get the help he needs at center. His ability to play both guard and center strengthens his case to become a solid backup who can step in and start in a pinch.

ACQUIRED VIA
PLAYER ANALYSIS
The 2017 Alabama win showed a mobile quarterback with good mechanics and intelligence who played with confidence and was able to convert in key situations. The 2018 tape shows a player who lost both his confidence and poise and began to play a rushed brand of football that seeped into his pre-snap planning and his post-snap accuracy. Stidham went from ascending prospect to developmental quarterback and he needs to find the right set of coaches and system to help rehab his confidence and timing.

ACQUIRED VIA
PLAYER ANALYSIS
Former five-star prospect who flopped at Auburn but showed signs of life this season at Maryland. Cowart posted modest production, but scouts will take note of his size, length and power at the point of attack. He is more likely to be considered an interior defender with some rush potential in odd or even fronts, but he needs to turn the flashes into consistency to become a reliable rotational defender.

PLAYER ANALYSIS
Bailey's touch as a pooch kicker needs work, but he does have the tools to improve in that area. His ability to flip the field and sky punts to eliminate return yardage could get him drafted and put him in position to make an NFL roster.

PLAYER ANALYSIS
Part-time outside cornerback who has failed to live up to expectations after a fast start at Ole Miss. Webster is compact and strong and shows some talent as a run defender, but he lacks juice as man cover corner and is too inconsistent from press. His best opportunity might be to re-brand as a run-support nickel cornerback or dime linebacker on the next level.
