I tried this earlier today and bearing in mind I was only young in the Superbowl years, i'm not sure on a few positions.

I'll quote it so it takes up less space:

I have a bad feeling I missed an obvious one, so let me know.

I would also play 4WR/1RB, so no need for TE

i don't understand what the criteria is. How can Cassel be on any list? I love Welker but how can i place him above Troy right now?

Offense
OT: Matt Light, Nick Kaczur
G: Joe Andurzzi, Logan Mankins
C: Dan Koppen
TE: Daniel Graham
WR: Randy Moss, Deion Branch
QB: Tom Brady
RB: Antowain Smith, Kevin Faulk

Defense:
DE: Richard Seymour, Ty Warren
DT: Vince Wilfork
OLB: Mike Vrabel, Willie McGinest
ILB: Tedy Bruschi, Roman Phifer
CB: Ty Law, Asante Samuel
S: Rodney Harrison, Lawyer Milloy

K: Adam Vinatieri
P: Ken Walter
Returner: Troy Brown
Special Teams: Larry Izzo
Coach: Bill Belichick

Toughest calls were:

-Choosing an RT, since 3 different guys were starters for the Super Bowl winning teams, and none of them really had the longevity that Kaczur has

-Making the call between Roman Phifer and Ted Johnson, but I picked Phifer because Johnson made the Pats All-90's team and figured I'd spread the love

-Branch over Welker for WR, picked Branch since he has two Super Bowl rings and was an MVP

-Antowain Smith over Corey Dillon (no way Faulk didn't make this team), but I picked Smith since Dillon really only had that one great year (but what a great year it was!) and is more known as a Bengal than a Pat.

-Ty Warren over Bobby Hamilton

-Punter, since no one really stood out over the long term

AND

-Not finding a place for Lonie Paxton on this team.

Troy Brown has the most receptions in patriot HISTORY and he has 3 rings
he was also one of the most underated players in NFL history and obviously still is.
