10 ~ Matt "Out of Sight" Light ~ Still very good...about to be ECLIPSED.
11 ~ Nate "Universal" Solder ~ Potential 10X All Pro!!
12 ~ "Smashing" Steve Maneri ~ TREMENDOUS potential as an Mauling AND Athletic Swing Tackle!!

18 ~ BenJarvus "The Law Firm" Green ~ Power, anyway: Suddenly our 4th Back!!
Flex Back ~ Between the Tackles AND OutSide
19 ~ Shane "Mean Machine" Vereen ~ The best Back in the ENTIRE DRAFT.
Tail Back ~ "Change O Pace" Back
20 ~ Danny "The Hobbit" WoodHead ~ An absolutely devastating Weapon, STILL vastly underrated.
Split End + Flanker
21 ~ Taylor "The" Price "Is Right, Beyotch" ~ May soon be our best Spit End!!
22 ~ "Dynamic" Deion Branch ~ STILL underrated!!
23 ~ Chad "Ochenta Y Cinco" Johson ~ ComeBack Player of the Year!!
24 ~ "Blazing" Brandon Tate ~ Emerging Player, despite all the hate!!
Slot End
25 ~ "Wild Wild" Wes Welker ~ The Greatest in ALL the Land!! BIG ComeBack coming!!
Defense
Nose Tackle
26 ~ Vince "Big Pappy" Wilfork ~ An unrelenting FORCE!!
27 ~ Kyle "Can You Feel The" Love ~ having 1 NT is like having 1 QB.
Under Tackle ~ Defensive End
28 ~ Mike "You Know That's" Wright ~ An invaluable Weapon, if 100%.
29 ~ "Lord" Myron "Eternal" Pryor ~ an emerging Force.
Defensive Tackle ~ Defensive End
30 ~ Albert HaynesWorth "Every Penny!!" ~ A New Era Has Begun. Many of you have NO...IDEA.
31 ~ "Shattering" Shaun Ellis ~ Just enough left for a year or two of situational Excellence.
32 ~ Kade "The Crusher" Weston ~ WAY Under the Radar. Potential STAR, gentlemen.
HeffaLump ~ "Elephant" to you Earthlings!!
33 ~ Jermaine "Feel the Pain" Cunningham ~ Emerging STUD!!
34 ~ "Ravaging" Rob Ninkovich ~ Emerging STUD.
35 ~ "Mayhem" Mark Anderson ~ Born Again FORCE!!
36 ~ "Attacking" Andre Carter ~ Like Ellis, just enough left for a year or two of Excellence.
And, of course: Cunningham + Ninkovich will play a LOT of Flanker ~ OLB, to you Earthlings!!
MidFielder ~ Middle LineBacker, Earthlings!!
37 ~ Jerod "Don't Hold The" Mayo ~ Emerging STAR, need I say.
38 ~ "Demolishing" Dane Fletcher ~ STILL Under the Radar, but not for much longer!!
39 ~ "Blasting" Brandon Spikes ~ About to emerge as the Brutal BEAST that he is!!
40 ~ "Gashing" Gary Guyton ~ Still love this guy, and think he will surprise a LOT of people!!
Strong Safety
41 ~ "Punishing" Pat Chung ~ Emerging STUD. LOVE this kid.
42 ~ "Savage" Sergio Brown ~ I really like Barrett, but I suspect we PUP the kid.
Free Safety
43 ~ Brandon "Stomper" MeriWeather ~ Of course it's possible that he's traded.
44 ~ James "Colonel" Sanders ~ Invaluable Depth + Leadership.
45 ~ "Wrecking" Ras I Dowling ~ This is just my opinion, but I think he's destined here.
CornerBack
46 ~ Devin "The Island" McCourty ~ Rising STAR!!
47 ~ "Lambasting" Leigh Bodden ~ A BEAST!!
48 ~ Darius "The" Butler "Did It!!" ~ My EXTREMELY unpopular choice for emerging NickelBack!!
49 ~ "Killer" Kyle Arrington ~ A Scrapper and a PlayMaker.
50 ~ Jon "Wild Man" Wihlite ~ If I'm right about Dowling, we need a 5th, and he's a good, solid player.
Special Teams
51 ~ K ~ Stephen "The Ghost" GostKowski ~ GREAT Kicker!!
52 ~ P ~ Zoltan "The Space Emperor...of Space!!" Mesko!! AWESOME Punter!!
53 ~ S ~ Matt "The Dread" Katula ~ Great Find, this guy!!
Notes
1st Hardest Cut ~ Julian Edelman. And that's a pretty arbitrary Cut, at that. I absolutely LOVE this kid, and consider him invaluable to this team, but 53 means 53. The reason I chose him, instead of, say, Price, is because Slot End's Market Share is getting consumed by Flex End and Wing Back. But nobody'll be happier than ME, if he DOES make the team!!
2nd Hardest Cut ~ Eric Moore. But I overloaded this Roster on Defensive Front 7, even as it IS, with 15 guys, there, for 7 positions. LOVE this kid, and would be THRILLED if he's back with us. And, indeed, he very well could be, as I could see Carter getting cut, or any number of guys, especially Wright, going to IR or PUP, on Opening Day.
Nominal PUP ~ Obviously a flexible and dubious means ~ one I highly approve of!! ~ for manipulating our Shadow Roster. Right now, it looks like Brace and Deaderick are prime noteworthy candidates, as well as Faulk, of course. Cannon's a big candidate, but his spot would presumably be filled with debris like OhrnBerger, not by a different position.
Honorable Mention ~ Where do I start?? Honestly, there about 15 other guys who I'd love to keep...
Trade Bait ~ Brian Hoyer is possible, though I wouldn't like that, and don't expect it. Stomper is a possibility, though a small one, I would think. LeVoir might catch a Late Rounder, as might Wilhite, if I'm wrong about Dowling.
