So Who do you think gets Cut?

Yes, I know that you learn a lot about players at TC, so you can't say for definate now, but are there any names on the roster that you think should be getting real panicky about their future at Foxboro?

I think that Vellano could be on his way out depending on Armsteads recovery now that we have Easley.

Braxston Cave; he has to out-perform Stork, Wendell and Connolly now.

Dan Connolly because it frees up $3M this year and $4M against the salary cap.

Wendell or Connolly will get cut, its obvious that the Pats want one of these draft picks to win a starting job.

Outside of Easley, JG, and White I do not view any of the draft picks locks to make the 53-man roster. We have a number of OL on the roster and I outside of Solder, Mankins, Vollmer, and Cannon I do not think anyone is safe.

Jake Bequette?

Connolly, Bequette, Tavon Wilson, and Patrick Chung

If the Pats plan to extend Revis and McCourty while using the same structure as the deals of Richard Sherman and Earl Thomas, then a release of Mankins would offset their increased 2014 cap numbers.

Some guys whose sphincters may have puckered. Bolden, KT, Boyce, Connolly, Wendell, Chris Jones, Vellano, Siliga, Bequette, Tavon Wilson, Ebner, and Aiken to name a few. Some obviously at more risk than others.

Mallet probably can't be too thrilled either. Highly unlikely he would be cut but he could find himself further down the depth chart.

Releasing Connolly frees up $2.505m in cap space because of the Top 51 rule. No matter what, his signing bonus proration of $1,083,334 will be on the Patriots 2014 cap.

Mallet falling deeper on the depth chart would mean that in 2015 he'd likely get a close to vet min 1 year prove it deal. He has every $ incentive to beat out the rook.

Bequette he needs to have a big camp/ preseason.
Bolden I don't see how he makes this team aside from injury.
Dunn, Jeremy Gallon is making this roster
Connelly and Wendall doesnt look good for one or maybe both of them.
Tavon Wilson I think BB is kicking himself for that pick deep down.
I think Boyce is a lock he has a special skill set.
Thompkins will have to beat out Harrison.
Should be a lot of fun.
I think we are shaping up to see next season Mankins and Arrington will not be there. By the way the draft went it appears BB is fully invested in this secondary and will do whatever it takes to retain Revis and Mccourty with Browner and Ryan with another year under his belt. Dennard stepping up the sky's the limit.
I think the fact BB didn't draft a early round receiver shows he likes the guys we have on the roster and I'm glad he's showing the kids have time to develop because they all flashed.
The last thing we want to do is give Brady more players he is not familar with.
Vellano I'm sorry you were a decent spot player but barring Injury or a huge skills jump you are not making this roster.
Also Will Smith will either be knocked off by a rook or start the year on pup.
Really like the core of this team excited for FOOTBALL!

KT and Boyce are safe IMO. Can't cut a rookie wr after the first year when statistically they produce much more there second and third years.

I think bequette, some of the rookie olinemen from last year, vellano, Tavon Wilson, and ebner will be most likely to be cut.

bequette, wilson, ebner..vellano, i like him but he's easily pushed around.

I'D BE WORRIED AFTER THE DRAFT

OFFENSE
QB Mallett should be gone
WR no changes
TE no changes
RB no changes (we need four)
FB a sigh of relief from Develin
OT Cannon's days are numbered, although he'll stay this year
OC no change: Wendell or Connolly should be gone; Cave and Barker have little hope
OG Kline will be fighting with Halapio for a job

DEFENSE
DE Bequette has competition from Moore
DT Vellano, Forston, Chris Jones and Armstead are all competing for one roster spot
LB The backups are cheering
CB no change
S Tavon Wilson has competition from Thomas; a sigh of relief from Chung

I can see Bequette,Cave,Barker,Kline,Wilson, Davis,Vellano and Forston as having to have super camps to stick.

Ebner is a good ST guy so it may come down to him or Chung.

I think Stork has a solid shot at OC backup. He could be the starter near the end of the year depending on his smarts at being able to direct the OL blocking.
