I just fixed that - the team didn't even have him listed there yet so I forgot about him.Have a hard time coming up with less than 55... harder than it seems.
Tarrell Brown is not listed as a choice..

I know. Weird. We only cut 3 of 9 last year. Totally out of character with the way this teams run.You cut 4 of 9 draft picks? Do you not think highly of our draft philosophy?

Good job with this projection.
The only things I may disagree with would be the lack of a 9th OL (I'd have Kline, personally), and possibly the fact that a guy like Moore may not have room on the team (PS, maybe?) with the recent addition of the two rookie DEs.
One of the more interesting positional groupings to watch will be the DBs, as maybe McClain makes it, as well as Tavon Wilson? Who the hell knows? Not meaning to nitpick, just trying to start a conversation
Yeah, that's definitely where I was most uncertain. Ended up deciding between a final DL, a final OL, a final WR and a final CB. Only had room for two, went WR/DL. Could easily see it being Kline or an extra corner instead, or maybe a S. I'm thinking that drafting Richards signals that either Ebner or Wilson's time is up, but maybe not.
If they do go with one of those guys, I think the end-of-the-roster guys that are likely to go from my projection are Dobson or Moore.
Yeah, I'd agree that one of Wilson/Ebner may be on their way out the door. I don't know enough about the finer nuances of their ST positions, but I'd assume that Ebner would be a wedge player, while Wilson may be relied on for more speed in a gunner-like role? Perhaps they are both wedge players, which may be more likely? I wonder if that may come into play during cuts, or if it will simply be a head on, straight up battle to prove who is the better player both on ST/defense?
We'll finally get the real story on Aaron Dobson over the next month or so, as his battle with guys like Gibson, Boyce, and a 6th WR spot in general will be on display.
If Moore makes it, then I'd have to wonder if one of the back to back 4th round DE picks don't, which rarely happens to a draft pick in his first year. I just can't fit all three in any of my projections. Maybe Belichick sees it differently? I'd be more than happy to see one slide over to the PS. One would have to think that if he were high on Moore, he'd maybe have chosen a different player in the 4th round.
