The NFL trade deadline came and went, and the New England Patriots — true to their name — opted to stand pat.
Jokes aside, the team of head coach Mike Vrabel did make a pair of moves the week before the trading window closed, shipping defensive edge Keion White and safety Kyle Dugger to San Francisco and Pittsburgh, respectively. Those trades, paired with no significant follow-ups by Tuesday afternoon, did create some minor draft capital and future financial relief but they also put pressure on the team’s depth at two positions.
Even though the Patriots are 7-2 and well on their way to end their postseason drought after three years, those depth questions are a concern. Are they the biggest issues at the moment, though? That is precisely the question in our latest SB Nation Reacts survey.
