Of the players signed in 2011 (I don't know how accurate this roster is), the players whose names are in bold-face are the ones I anticipate to make 53-man roster. There are 42 names bold-faced and of those 42, I'll estimate my error to be + 5 errors - errors in the amount of players not the ones selected. This error can be reasoned and disregarded by free agent signings, and some players on this list that I might otherwise have included (Sergio Brown, Eric Moore).
List:
Kyle Arrington
Thomas Austin
Tully Banta-Cain
Josh Barrett
Leigh Bodden
Ron Brace
Tom Brady
Deion Branch
Sergio Brown
Carson Butler
Darius Butler
Tony Carter
Patrick Chung
Thomas Clayton
Landon Cohen
Dan Connolly
Jonathan Crompton
Alge Crumpler
Jermaine Cunningham
Brandon Deaderick
Julian Edelman
Buddy Farnham
Marlon Favorite
Dane Fletcher
Stephen Gostkowski
BenJarvus Green-Ellis
Rob Gronkowski
Gary Guyton
Aaron Hernandez
Brian Hoyer
Darnell Jenkins
Nick Kaczur
Matt Katula
Dan Koppen
Mark LeVoir
Bret Lockett
Kyle Love
Steve Maneri
Logan Mankins
Jerod Mayo
Devin McCourty
Brandon Meriweather
Zoltan Mesko
Eric Moore
Sammy Morris
Marques Murrell
Rob Ninkovich
Rich Orhnberger
Jarrad Page
Taylor Price
Myron Pryor
Darryl Richard
James Sanders
Matthew Slater
Brandon Spikes
Marcus Stroud
Brandon Tate
Thad Turner
Ross Ventrone
Sebastian Vollmer
Ty Warren
Wes Welker
Ryan Wendell
Tracy White
Vince Wilfork
Jonathan Wilhite
Danny Woodhead
Mike Wright
2 Quarterbacks: Brady, Hoyer
6 Receivers: Branch, Edelman, Price, Tate, Slater, Welker
3 Tight Ends: Crumpler, Gronkowski, Hernandez
2 Running-backs: Green-Ellis, Woodhead
5 Offensive Lineman: Connolly, LeVoir, Koppen, Mankins, Vollmer
4 Cornerbacks: Arrington, Bodden, Butler, McCourty
4 Safeties: Chung, Meriweather, Page, Sanders
3 Outside Linebackers: Banta-Cain, Cunningham, Ninkovich
5 Inside Linebackers: Fletcher, Guyton, Mayo, Spikes, White
5 Defensive Lineman: Brace, Stroud, Warren, Wilfork, Wright
3 Specialists: Gostkowski, Katula, Mesko
At the beginning of 2010, the team carried, 2 QBs, 5 RBs, 6 WRs, 3 TEs, 8 OL, 7 DL, 4 OLB, 6 ILB, 5 CB, 4 S, and 3 specialists. With my estimation above, this leaves 3 RB, 3 OL, 1 CB, 2 LB, and 2 DL spots open. This is 12 roster spots open, and the team has 9 draft picks in 2011.
1. The Patriots will probably resign one of the 3 veteran RBs (Faulk, Morris, Taylor) or bring in another veteran FA RB.
2. I anticipate Matt Light to be resigned.
3. The team might bring back Wilhite.
4. One or two of Pryor, Deaderick, or Love will probably make the roster.
This amounts to 4 additions to the 42 man roster, so now we're at 46. 7 roster spots with 9 draft picks. From 2008-2010, the Patriots have amassed a lot of draft picks and replenished their roster with a good young core of players, especially on defense. And the need to amass further and future picks seems unnecessary now that all positions have been solidified (except offensive guard). Some positions could use an upgrade (WR, RB), but the biggest need on the team is a pass rush. This can come in the form of an improved defensive line or a stud outside linebacker. I think this is the year where the Patriots trade up and draft an impact player on defense. Whether it be Aldon Smith, JJ Watt, Dareus, whoever.
*This is all speculation and I may have royally screwed up in the math.
