So you think Garoppolo will start ahead of Tom??
I really doubt they will keep 10 Oline players.

You think they're cutting Thompkins? Doubt it. I expect 7 WRs (if you include Slater as a WR). One of Wendell or Connolly likely is cut.

I would hardly be surprised if KT (my binkie, but an UDFA) or Buchanan (7th round pick) make it, but there is good competition at the end of the roster and somebody won't make it. Both these guys faded at the end of the season and they are facing increased competition With the additions of players like LaFell and Moore. I think there is a good chance that he does not keep 2 centers, as noted previously. Injuries will play a role too as the current roster will not make it through unscathed.

Man am I glad that Anderson was signed at LB. When we did this a few months ago, the lack of depth at LB was noticeable. Hopefully they avoid major injuries this year (along with every other position).

And no matter how much I see it, I just LOVE seeing Revis' name included in the CB group. I still can't believe they got him.

You have an interesting roster here. Fleming and Halapio both missed the cut on the OL, and basically you only kept 3 DEs.

I would be really surprised if this is the final 53... which in Pats-Universe means you're probably closer than anyone else.

I have a feeling hightower will play some DE.

The roster i chose has a bunch of guys playing positions they were not initially listed under, I feel like a LARGE portion of the defense can move around a lot better this year then last year, especially on the back end.

 

[patriot1136]

Hard to decide on the RB's. Beyond Ridley and Vereen, I think the spots are up for grabs. White seems to be a favorite to make the team but Houston, Finch, and Bolden could all fit in here somewhere too. I would think they would only keep 3-4 rb's (not including Develin)

I cant see us cutting Thompkins you can never have to much depth at TE. All it takes is one bad play for Gronk and he is out for the season then we would be down to 1 TE.

I don't think we cut Thompkins either... he was really promising before he got hurt last season. A full offseason to improve and by all accounts Kenbrell has incredible work ethic. I am taking 2 TEs on the 53 man and putting 2 on the PS with Watson and Jones. If there is an injury, its not like DJ WIlliams or another TE of that caliber won't be available. Those guys are a dime a dozen.

Thompkins is a WR not a TE.
