The New England Patriots aren’t going to rest on their laurels after going from 4-13 to a spot in Super Bowl LX.

Not if VP of Player Personnel Eliot Wolf has anything to say about it.

“I’m really proud of our players,” Wolf said as he met the media at the Indianapolis Scouting Combine on Tuesday. “Again, they bought in quickly. They figured out how to win. But I think everyone on the roster is aware that we still need some pieces, and we’re going to create as much competition as we possibly can.

“We’re going to explore every avenue to try to improve the team. We filled a lot of needs last year and we’re still building. We have areas that maybe we feel good about the starters, but maybe the depth is not where we want it to be. We have areas where we maybe need to add a starter.

” So, I think it’s going to be sort of a holistic approach, and working together with Coach Vrabel, his staff, the scouting staff, Richard Miller and Matt Groh on the on the contract side, and we’re going to try to build this thing to improve the team as best we can.”

One question is where the Patriots play current left tackle Will Campbell, who had a disasterous Super Bowl, likely thanks in part to a torn MCL that reports say will not require surgery. Wolf says the Patriots aren’t moving Campbell to guard.

“I mean, continuity is tremendously important,” he said. “We were actually fairly healthy on the offensive line this year, and I felt like those guys were able to gel and play well. And Will specifically, when he came back from that injury, I personally didn’t see the same level of lower body strength that you saw before the injury. I think the film would attest to that.

“He probably had three of his four worst games in the playoffs. But before that, I thought Will played really well all year. I know everyone talks about the arm length, but he has a set of skills that enable him to play with that arm length. He’s really quick out of his stance. He’s technically sound. He’s adding more and more different pass sets to his tool bag that he can use to combat different rushes. And again, he’s 22 years old and we expect some improvement out of him as well.”

Likewise, Wolf said the Patriots intend to keep up their defensive pressure on opposing quarterbacks, especially on the defensive line.

I know a lot of quarterbacks – talking to people throughout the league, a lot of quarterbacks actually are more worried about the interior pressure because they can’t step up,” he said. “We’re excited to have [Milton Williams and Christian Barmore], and not only them, but Khyiris Tonga, who’s a free agent, Cory Durden and some of the other guys that we had that were playing in there that were able to provide that push.”

That being said, Wolf did not discount searching for edge rushers in this April’s NFL draft.

“I think this draft offers a lot of different depth at varying areas, edge being one of them,” Wolf said. “I think it’s a fairly deep class at that position that’s obviously an area of need for our team, so it matches up nicely.”

Of course, one position the Patriots don’t have to worry about is quarterback. Wolf said he didn’t think Drake Maye’s shoulder was an issue in the Super Bowl, and is looking forward to the future.

“Drake made a ton of progress in a lot of areas, not only at the start of the season, but throughout the season,” Wolf said. “I think people forget that he’s 23 years old, there’s been a lot on his shoulders, and there will continue to be with the expectation that it has being a quarterback for the New England Patriots. But I’m just really excited about him, his toughness, his competitiveness. He’s always the same guy. There’s obviously areas on the field that he’s going to improve, and he’s going to work with Coach [Josh] McDaniels and Coach [Ashton] Grant and get those things taken care of.”

 Meanwhile, the reason all the NFL execs and coaches are in Indy is to size up the draft.

“I feel like if you’re doing your job, you’re going to be able to find players in rounds one through seven that that can help your team,” Wolf said, scoffing at the idea this is not a quality draft. “Obviously, there’s varying levels of that, but we still feel like we have enough team needs where we’re going to be able to get good players that are going to help our team moving forward.”
