Analyst Reveals Patriots’ Biggest Offseason Need After Super Bowl LX Loss

The New England Patriots suffered a loss to the Seattle Seahawks in Super Bowl LX and the focus has already shifted to the offseason.

Despite reaching the Super Bowl, New England has some major holes they need to address. Many point to the offensive line, especially after Will Campbell struggled throughout the playoffs, and there being though he could be shifted to guard.

Yet, Patriots reporter Chad Graff of The Athletic named edge rusher as the biggest need for New England entering the offseason.

“For a team that was in the Super Bowl, the Patriots have a lot of positions where they need to improve, including offensive line, wide receiver and tight end,” Graff wrote in a piece published on Thursday.

“But with K’Lavon Chaisson an unrestricted free agent, the answer for where the Pats need the most help is edge rusher. They dominated on the interior of the D-line this season. If they can improve on the outside, this could be a really good front four.”

Whether or not the Patriots will use their first-round pick, 31st overall, on an edge rusher is to be seen, as New England can also address that need in free agency.

Meanwhile, if Chaisson signs elsewhere, that only makes the need even bigger. However, if the Seahawks’ defense proved anything, the Patriots need to do a better job of getting after the quarterback.

Luckily, New England has plenty of cap space and 11 draft picks to bolster their roster.
