Default Nine rookies made the team
Eight drafted and one free agent. Plus we have two more on IR, and one on PUP. Only one drafted rookie was cut.

Wasn't it just a few years ago that we only kept one rookie?

yeah, just imagine how many we would have kept if Belichick didn't suck so bad at drafting, and wasn't thoroughly out-drafted by the Steelers every year?

Make that nine, skipped Ingram. Helluva draft class.

Might be everyone kept if that one that was cut makes it onto the practice squad tomorrow...

Yes but we also saw this team lose Harrisson, Vrabel, Bruschi, Samuel, and Hobbs in that time span. Oh and we did bring in Moss and Welker in that draft class, yes I count those traded for players as part of the draft class.

That year our 2nd pick was a 4th rounder.
We had many high picks this year.
I think we cut/traded better players this year than we ever have before. So I think the rookies earned a job that was tough to earn, not made a team that was easy to make.

Wouldn't expect much since the Patriots can't draft properly after the first round...

The Steelers are very good at drafting players.
