Last bump before the Combine.
Assume Pats have about $3-4M projected available in cap space to sign FAs prior to cuts, extensions and restructurings.
Pre-draft:
- Pats cut Vince Wilfork, Isaac Sapoaga and Adrian Wilson. Cap savings $11.5-12M.
- Pats restructure Devin McCourty, Stephen Gostkowski and Matt Slater. Cap savings $3-3.5M.
- Pats re-sign UFA CB Aqib Talib (estimated 2014 cap hit: $5M).
- Pats re-sign UFA RB LeGarrette Blount (estimated 2014 cap hit: $2M).
- Pats re-sign UFA LB Dane Fletcher (estimated 2104 cap hit: $800K).
- Pats sign UFA DT Linval Joseph (NY Giants) (estimated 2014 cap hit: $4M).
- Pats sign UFA DE Corey Wootton (Chicago) (estimated 2014 cap hit: $2.5-3M).
- Pats sign UFA TE Marcedes Lewis (Jacksonville - projected cap casualty)(estimated 2014 cap hit: $3M).
- Pats sign UFA WR Sidney Rice (Seattle - projected cap casualty) (estimated 2014 cap hit: $2.5-3M).
Pats are probably $2-3M short in 2014 cap space to do all of those signings, and will need to cut or re-structure a couple of other guys. Dan Connolly, Steve Gregory and Tommy Kelly are all possibilities.
Draft:
29. Aaron Donald, DT, Pittsburgh. 6' 1" 290#.
62. Christian Jones, LB, Florida St. 6' 3 1/2" 236#. Alternate: Marcus Smith, DE/OLB, Louisville. 6' 3 1/2" 258#.
93. Weston Richburg, OC, Colorado St. 6' 3" 300#. Alternate: Marcus Martin, OC, USC (6' 3" 310#) or Joel Bitonio, OL, Nevada (6' 4" 307#).
4. Antone Exum, DB, Virginia Tech. 6' 220#.
6a. Richard Rodgers, TE, Cal. 6' 4" 245#. Alternate: Xavier Grimble, TE, USC (6' 5" 250#).
6b. Tyler Starr, LB, South Dakota. 6' 4 1/2" 249#.
6 (comp). Dontae Johnson, DB, North Carolina St. 6' 2 1/2" 199#.
7. Colt Lyerla, TE, Oregon. 6' 5" 250#. Alternate: Trey Bruton, WR/H-Back, Florida. 6' 1 1/2" 225#.
