An upgrade for the Pats, because their WR corps was a WR corpse.

The Eagles had NO running game or at least failed to use it to keep defenses honest. New Orleans had no QB when Stallworth was there. BOTH Stallworth and the Pats will do much better this year with each other. Great signing.
The Pats have done a great job with player aquisition this offseason. The LB they signed from Ravens - Adalius Thomos is poised to have an impact season playing next to Richard Seymour, Mike Vrabel, Rosevelt Colvin, Teddy Bruschi..etc. They are going have the deepest front seven in the NFL with LSU DE Marquise Hill 6' 7" 300 pound will be 5th string DE behind Semour, Ty Warren, Jarvis Green and Mike Wright.
They planned well because they can now spend their entire draft on their one remaining weakness CB. With two first round draft picks and the draft being deep in DB they have done their homework.
