New England Patriots: Quick Look at the Offensive Line

One of the major concerns for the New England Patriots this offseason is addressing their offensive line. 

New England's left guard Logan Mankins has yet to accept the franchise tag tender, left tackle Matt Light's future is unclear, right guard Stephen Neal just retired, and backup lineman Nick Kaczur is likely to be cut. 

Bill Belichick has some decisions to make and some holes to fill. 

After Neal's retirement, here is a look at New England's depth chart at the offensive line:

Left Tackle: Matt Light, Mark LeVoir

Left Guard: Logan Mankins, Rich Ohrnberger

Center: Dan Koppen, Ryan Wendell

Right Guard: Dan Connolly, Quinn Ojinnaka

Right Tackle: Sebastian Vollmer

Out of the linemen listed, only six are under contract for next season, Light and Mankins being two that have yet to agree to a contract extension.

It's safe to say New England is extremely thin at a very important position.

Belichick needs to address the offensive line by adding reliable linemen blockers to protect the aging Tom Brady.

With the uncertainty of agreeing on a new CBA, free agents are currently in limbo. Consequently, New England will have to look at the draft to address their needs.

Noticeably, the Patriots biggest hole is on the left side of the offensive line.

Expect New England to draft a couple of linemen to play on the left side of the line for next season.
