It's the day before camp. How could I fail to start a roster thread? Much can happen, but I see 47 roster spots as pretty well sown up. Among the 47, there will be lots and lots of competition for position in the depth chart, and for reps one the season starts.
I have settled on seven defensive linemen. I suspect that we will end up with six. But for now, these seven all seem to be part of a 53 man roster.

I do not see keeping Aiken as much as I like him as a superb St guy. Since the Pats no longer need him as a WR back-up, his spot on the roster might be better going to a seventh DL and keep Arrington and Wheatley thereby providing great depth at DL and DB.

Agree on the D and specialist. I would see 6 wr and 5 RB given the age of the RB group.
Other than that, in agreement.

It depends on whether you counted Ventrone and Slater as SR's or STers.
I could have listed Aiken and Tate as STer's.
=====================================
Yes, I think Warren is more likely to make the roster than Lewis. I think that you will find that most analysts agree. With regard to Lewis, I do have him as the #6 DL over Pryor.

Dont know how G Warren is a lock and Lewis isnt. What are you basing that on? To me they are neck and neck.
We've almost always had a couple spots that end up being players who are top special teamers and play little if at all at a position. Aiken is the special team captain and a top special teamer. There is always room for a couple.
I also think that it is quite possible that we will keep Wheatley. It is camp injuries that will determine that final rosters spot. We also could keep only eight OL's.

Actually, I have no problem cutting Pryor for Wheatley. I would rather keep Lewis.
Green-Ellis hasn't shown anything. If Taylor doesn't make it, I suspect that Belichick will pick up a free agent early or one of the 600 final cuts.[

Well McCourty has been talked about as a 4 down guy since we drafted him so somebody going to lose out in on STs because of that. My guess is that Aiken is the man that will lose out.

What 'analysts' have even commented on, much less thought about whether Gerard Warren or Damione Lewis is more likely to play for the Pats?
I still dont think you get 7 WRs by counting special teamers? Neither of those guys actually were WRs either, they were trained there in camp, because they would make the team as a s/ter so they were taught a position on the other side of the ball for emergency purposes. Both are primarily defensive players aside from special teams. Aiken is entirely a WR.
