Belichick has drafted well on defense the previous 2 drafts before this one Chandler Jones, Dont'a Hightower, Logan Ryan, Alfonzo Denard, Jamie Collins, Duron Harmon have come into their own and infused a lot of talent on the Patriots defense. Belichick finally rebuilt the defense, but last year Talib, Wilfork, Mayo were all out before or during the AFC title game. The Pats took a gamble on Dominique Easley who if didn't get hurt would have been a top 15 pick. Seattle was going to take at 32nd pick if New England didn't take Easley.

The Patriots offense will be improved thanks to the development of Dobson, Boyce, Thompkins in the 2nd seasons, Edelman, and Amendola for the slot and Gronkowski is the best TE when healthy and he should be back during the season, and the Patriots have a stable of RBs good enough to win, and they spent this year's draft fixing their biggest weakness no depth on the interior OL. The Pats have 2 stud tackles Nate Soldier and Sebastian Vollmer and pro Bowl LG Logan Mankins the C and RG positions should be a lot more solid this season and Patriots barring injuries should be the best team in the AFC or 2nd depending on Denver's schedule.

I think the Jets are the 2nd best team and Bills are 3rd and Fins are 4th.
