Hasn't Belichick been an admirer of Moss for a long time? Isn't that part of the reason he was traded for? If so, I'm sure the Patriots will make a competitive bid for Moss. After all, it's really Brady and Moss who are the critical pieces of what might be the best offense in NFL history? Why would Belichick let a critical piece of that just walk away?

As far as drafting a running back with a top 5 pick, don't make any assumptions about "what the Patriots do". Belichick's approach is to get the most out of his players/resources. In Brady's early years, they used lots of short passes as a pseudo-running game. Now, they air it out a lot. The reason for the change was due to new personel. If the Patriots find themselves with a running back who can regularly put up 100 yard games, you can be sure that running back will be given the ball 20-25 times. It would only make Brady a more dangerous QB if he had a great running back.
