I'll be shocked if M Wright, W Andrews, B Gardner, aren't on this roster. I would also think that 1 of Sullivan LK Smith and M Hill would be on the roster.

Disagree. I think we're going with 2 QBs.

Offensive line:
Russ Hochstein
Nick Kaczur
Dan Koppen
Matt Light
Logan Mankins
Gene Mruczkowski
Stephen Neal
Ryan O'Callaghan

My only change is to swap Stevenson for Mruczkowski. I agree that 8 seems like the right number.

Defensive line:
Jarvis Green
Dan Klecko
Richard Seymour
Jonathan Sullivan
Ty Warren
Vince Wilfork

Klecko vs. Wright is a tough call. I tend to think that Wright has the edge, but I bet Brad Seeley gets the last vote on this.

Linebacker:
Eric Alexander
Tedy Bruschi
Tully Banta-Cain
Rosevelt Colvin
Don Davis
Donnie Edwards
Larry Izzo
Jeremy Mincey
Junior Seau
Mike Vrabel

Alexander or Gardner? And if Edwards doesn't happen, then I think Beisel still has a shot at the roster.

Defensive back:
Ellis Hobbs
Asante Samuel
Eugene Wilson
Rodney Harrison
Randall Gay
Tebucky Jones
Artrell Hawkins
Eric Warfield
Guss Scott
James Sanders

Gotta cut Warfield. You need to make roster space for Willie Andrews on KR.

By cutting down to 2 QBs, there is one more roster spot that I'd probably give to Woods.

Mike Wright has to make this team. He's a very good lineman and can backup both the DE and NT spot. The fact that he started when Seymour was out against Atlanta should tell you what the coaching staff thinks of him. If it comes down between Klecko, Wright, and Sullivan, I think Wright is first, and then it's a battle for the next two. I'd go Klecko for versatility purposes but Sullivan still may have potential.

It seems to me that we have a good team. And that we are going to be directed to another year but by Tom Brady

Granted its too soon to tell but looking at that list, I kept coming up with the thought that this is a deeper, more experienced team than what a lot of so called "experts" would think.
