Last year the Patriots were aggressive in their pursuit of undrafted free agents after the draft and it paid off. They received incredible production from players such as Joe Vellano, Kenbrell Thompkins, Ryan Allen, and Josh Kline throughout the season. If you look at the roster and do the math, I expect them to once again be active immediately following the draft. As of today the roster stands at 62 players, the maximum number of players allowed during the off-season and camp is 90. NFL teams generally like to approach that number during the summer so they can run a full camp, have competition at all positions, and keep the starters reps down. Currently, the Patriots are 28 players under that roster limit right now. Subtract the Patriots seven draft picks and at most two compensatory selections and there are still 19 players under the limit. Those spots won’t all be filled by veteran free agents. Look for them to sign between 15-17 UDFA immediately after the draft and take that same aggressive, targeted approach that worked in 2013.
