44 positions provides plenty of players and includes lots of depth.
The question is always how to best use the last 6 roster spots. Special teams, injuries, development, and additional depth seem to be the reasons to use these roster spots. IMHO, additional depth is the least important among the four reasons.
OFFENSE 22
2 QB Brady, Hoyer
4 RB Ridley, Vereen, Woodhead, Addai or Larsen
5 WR Welker, LLoyd, Gaffney, Slater, Branch or Edelman or Stallworth
3 TE Gronkowki, Hernandez, Fells
8 OL Solder, Mankins, Connolly, Waters, Vollmer, Gallery, Cannon, Koppen/McDonald
DEFENSE 22
6 DL Wilfork, Love, Fenene, Deaderick, Warren, Pryor/Brace
8 LB Jones, Bequette, Ninkovich, Scott,
.........Mayo, Hightower, Spikes, Carpenter/Fletcher/Cunningham
4 CB McCourty, Dowling, Arrington, Dennard
3 S Chung, Gregory, Wilson
1 CB/S Allen or Moore
