Terrific breakdowns of the Patriots and Ravens rosters, from ESPN.com's Hashmarks. Really great stuff...

Patriots

Items of note, despite the love affair with late round draft picks most rosters are made up of players drafted in rounds 1-4. There are the occasional, out of the park homeruns (Brady) but it is rare for a late rounder to become a starter. Next year we have 6 picks in rounds 1-4, time to make some hay.
