The Patriots season ended a little sooner than expected, and now attention turns to the team’s needs as we start turning the page to next season.

What are the Patriots’ biggest needs?

“I think the team right now in general feels that it has to get more balanced,” Insider Tom E. Curran said on SportsNet Central. “The best way to do that is attacking the running game. That might be a running back. That might be an offensive line. One or the other has to be a high priority. While wide receiver is definitely on their mind, something in the running game has got to give.”
