6. Roster Depth – Bill Belichick is a master at making sure he has all of the right players to fulfill very specific roles and the 2014 will be no exception. With versatile players like Julian Edelman, Chris Jones, Devin McCourty and Matthew Slater capable of performing in a wide variety of roles for Patriots in offense, defense and special teams, the Patriots have one of the most versatile depth charts in football.
5. Darrelle Revis – From 2009 to 2011 Darrelle Revis was the undisputed best CB in football. An injury to Revis in 2012 ended his tenure with the Jets, but he made a full recovery with the Buccaneers in 2013. However, an inflated contract made him easily cuttable at the end of 2013. The Patriots were quick to sign their former rival and paired him with FA Brandon Browner for what might be the best CB tandem in the AFC.
