For your viewing pleasure. I'll get one out just after the draft too.
At this time, the Patriots have 63 players on their roster. That is the sixth lowest total in the league, behind the Chiefs (58), Chargers (60), Ravens (61), Bears (62), and Cardinals (62).
The offseason roster limit is 80 players. That does not include un-signed rookies; however, there is a lot less flexibility with that number than in years past, now that NFL Europa exemptions and NFLE bonus exemptions are gone. Teams with the highest roster numbers right now are the Broncos (80), Buccaneers (77), Packers (73), Texans (72), Jets (71), and Dolphins (71).
*Note: All numbers include tendered RFAs and ERFAs, who haven't signed their tenders yet, and thus don't count against the roster limit -- so these numbers are technically off, but most ERFAs and RFAs will sign their tenders within the next few weeks.
Based on the Patriots' roster total of 63 players, they will be able to sign 17 undrafted free agents following the draft, to give them a total of 80 players. However, if they do happen to sign 17 such UDFAs, which is unlikely, they would have to make cuts just to sign each of their rookies. Therefore, it's likely that the Patriots will sign 8-12 UDFAs following the draft, depending on how many picks they make this weekend.
