Forgive me for not following our roster very closely since the Super Bowl, but I see that these rather unknown names made the final 53.
So what can you tell me about them (as far as hype/potential, camp/preseason performance, etc.) and why I should or shouldn't be excited that they're still Patriots?
RB Brandon Bolden
OL Nick McDonald
OL Donald Thomas
DL Marcus Forston
DL Justin Francis
LB Mike Rivera
Bolden - would try to sneak thru waivers if Jacob Hester, who can help more now, is signed;
McDonald - most versatile OLman on Pats, if healthy;
Thomas - liked him in 2008 draft, is bigger & better than Wendell;
Forston - Tampa2 DT, replaces Pryor, but as 5th DT belongs on PS;
Francis - draftable DE project, can never have enough Pass-Rushers, PS candidate if Andre Carter re-signed;
Rivera - major screwup by Bill, useless on defense, much much <<<< Carpenter
