But my question is did they overdo it? Do they have too much talent? All their WR's are at least quality 3rd spot WR's, 2 are 1 spot quality, 2-3 are 2 spot quality, and 1-2 iare 3 spot quality. How will everyone be happy? How will the ball be shared? This did not work well for the Skins or for the Seahawks last year when both of us loaded up on WRs. I know Bellicheck is a genius, but I dont know how this offense system will work out.

Well, there certainly is an overkill factor here. The same argument I was making for us not to draft Calvin Johnson applies here. Theres just no way the Pats can possibly utilize all that talent to the max of each and every person's ability. Just not enough plays in a game.
Their offensive system is very QB friendly. Allows Brady to throw for a high completion %, and be efficient in finding the open man while avoiding INTs. Moss himself isn't especially good after the catch, and getting guys who excel after the catch is the only way this Pats offense will get any better.
Expect them to improve offensively a tad, but not so much that will make the Moss and Stallworth salaries seem worth it.
