1. Quarterbacks

Until Brady shows serious signs of decline, quarterback will always be the Patriots’ best position. It also doesn’t hurt that Jimmy Garoppolo continues to study under the best quarterback of all-time, biding his time until that first NFL start.

Honestly, it’s looking increasingly likely that Brady will play good football well into his forties. As long as the Patriots address the offensive line depth issues and generate a potent rushing attack, Brady will have the protection he needs to continue throwing passes until Gisele taps him on the shoulder and insists he retires before his 45th birthday.

Here is some recent reading on Brady here on Musket Fire:
