Good article on Nick Caserio in this AM's, Pro Jo...oops guess it is 14 out of 52 as Leonard was released yesterday.. but that may change today.

Not sure how it compares to other teams, but some pretty significant contributors here.. especially on Offense...

Mel Kyper eat your heart out...

Patriots roster by draft status - New England Patriots Blog - ESPN Boston

Mike Rodak breaks down the Patriots roster (including IRed guys -- so there are, for example, two kickers on the list) by draft status.

1st -- 8 total, 6 homegrown (mainly studs), plus Taylor & G. Warren
2nd -- 11 total, all homegrown (counting Branch) except Crumpler
3rd -- 3 total, all homegrown
4th -- 5 total, all homegrown
5th -- 6 total, 3 homegrown plus Ninkovich, Morris, and Ojinnaka
6th -- 4 total -- Brady, Pryor, Clayton, Moore
7th -- 8 total -- I think 5 homegrown, plus Page, Barrett, and the immortal Landon Cohen
UDFA - 21 total

The 21 UDFAs is the meat of the story -- I'd actually frame it as 29 guys being UDFA or 7th round. Otherwise, it confirms what we knew, which is that pretty much every round has gone well for the Pats on average except the 3rd.
