That is 43 spots, leaving 10 to be filled.
Branch - Been relatively quiet. Would be an easy cut financially
Stallworth - He'd be nice to have to help stretch the field, but a 1 trick wonder off the bench isn't ideal.
Ebert - is a prototypical slot-receiver. Though he put up a 4.38-40 at his Pro-Day, the knock on him is that his game speed isn't nearly as good. Some people have said he's similar to Victor Cruz, the UDFA that signed with the Giants instead of the Pats a couple years ago. So far, he's been non-descript at camp. I think he could be another Deion Branch, but only time will tell.
Holley -primarily a STer, but has some height
Demps - has yet to put on the Pats. Is touted as a KR/RB/WR.
Bolden - started off camp well, but has gone down-hill. Likely headed to the PS.
Kettani - Haven't heard/seen much of him.
Larsen - has versatility in that he can play both FB and LB. Is excellent on STs.
Daniel Fells - has 2 Mil in guaranteed money. Currently on the PUP but rumored to be coming off soon. If actived, he's on the team.
Vinsanthe Shiancoe- started off really well. Has been hurt, though.
Tyler Urban - Probably headed for the PS. Has seen a lot of time with Gronk still coming back from his ankle injury. Primarily a blocking TE in college, but does have the ability to catch the ball as well. A PS candidate.
Alex Silvestro - - Started with the team in 2011 on the PS. Was a DE, but was switched to TE. Has seen a lot of action with Fells on the PUP and Shiancoe and Gronkowski hurting. Probably PS bound.
Donald Thomas - Reserve O-lineman.
Darrion Weems - OG/OT reserve lineman. Has done well in camp.
Kyle Hix - Spent time on the PS last year. Been injured.
Matt Kopa - Pats were high on him as a potential swing Tackle. He's been hurt.
Ryan Wendell - Been with the Pats for awhile. Is a OG/OC, with OC being his better position.
Dan Koppen- Has been exclusively at center for the Pats. His play has been going downhill for the last few years, imho. Can't seem to hold at the POA anymore. Would be an easy cut financially.
Derrick Dennis-was originally cut by the Phins and was brought in when the Pats had a rash of injuries on the O-line. Has done ok. Don't believe he's been outstanding, but hasn't been a sieve either.
Kyle Hill - Brought in when the Pats were extremely short on healthy OTs. Don't believe he's distinguished himself in any way.
Dustin Waldron- Brought in when the Pats were extremely short on healthy OTs. Hasn't really distinguished himself.
Jeremiah Warren - OT/OG likely to be cut.. Been non-descript.
Gerard Warren - has been solid for the Pats. Is at the end of his career. wouldn't be a huge loss if cut
Ron Brace - Has been a disappointment in his 1st 3 years, mainly due to injury. Has shown some flashes of talent. Is fighting well for a roster spot.
Justin Francis - This kid has been quite a find. He will be a very hard cut as he's likely to get scooped off waivers.
Tim Bulman - Jounreyman D-lineman. Not really a pass rush-specialist. Don't see how he fits on the Pats long-term
Marcus Forston - Probably PS bound, though some desperate team may look at him for a depth D-lineman.
Marcus Harrison - He clearly showed enough to the Pats during his brief stint last year for them to bring him back. He's been non-descript.
Aaron Lavarias - With the depth at DE/OLB, I see Lavarias destined for the PS.
Mike Rivera - MLB - has played very well and been noticed in camp. ST play is a bonus.
Jeff Tarpinian - - Coverage LB and STer. Saw his chances of making the team go up with Dane Fletcher's ACL injury. But, he's still got an upward battle.
Niko Koutouvides - almost strictly a STer. I see him losing out and either being cut or traded.
Alfonzo Dennard - There is no denying that the kid has talent. But brains are something he's not shown yet. Plus he has pending legal issues. He has an outside shot at the 5th CB position.
Sergio Brown - Best on special teams. Proved to be horrible in regular safety duty. The additions of Gregory, Wilson, and Ebner have Brown facing being cut.
Josh Barrett - "Stolen" off waivers from the Broncos 2 years ago, Barrett spent his first year on the IR. Last year, his "promise" was enough to lead BB to believe that James Sanders was expendable. Barrett didn't live up to that promise and is not fighting for a roster spot.
James Ihedigbo - Ihedigbo was brought in last year before the safety exodus of Meriweather and Sanders being cut. He's a solid tackler and good special teamer, but he should be considered for regularly playing time only in an emergency.
Will Allen - Veteran CB who has spent the entire TC at safety. Allen could provide veteran depth at that position.
Marquice Cole-Cole is a STer who is fighting for the 5th CB spot.
Ross Ventrone - Ross seems to be the forgotten man. He set a record (imho) for the number of transactions in which a player was involved in.
Nate Ebner - This is a kid who everyone is rooting for. He's a former rugby player and excelled on special teams for Ohio State. And from the sounds of it, this kid is going to force his way onto the team because of his ST coverage skills.
