Possibilities include a vet OT, a vet TE (or two), a DT, a DE, and a LB/ST.
OL
I still think a veteran OT is likely. A rookie swing tackle with Croston as the 4th doesn't seem right.
TE
Watson can't sign soon enough, presumably in the next 2 weeks. The question is whether also bring in another. We've been spoiled. Watson, ASJ, and Lecosse may be fine for 2019 with Belichick. Obviously, Belichick really disliked this supposed great TE class. We'll be looking again every year, but Belichick seem OK for 2019.
WR
We could always add a JAG or 2 (in addition to all the UDFA's), but we're ready to go with Edelman, Harry, and Dorsett. We also have DT and/or Gordon. Plus we have Berrios, Ellington and Harris competing for another spot, which may not be there.
DL
I still expect us to sign a free agent, or even two. The DL we have could be as good as last year, but players get injured and there is room for competition and upgrade.
DE: Bennett, Winovich, Wise, Simon, Davis/Rivers, (Harris, Kamalu)
DT: Guy, Pennel, Butler, Coward/Parry
LB
a special teamer is possible
DB
I don't see anyone making the team
OL
I still think a veteran OT is likely. A rookie swing tackle with Croston as the 4th doesn't seem right. --> They PROBABLY are gonna carry 3 QB's and 5 RB's i don't think they will carry 9 OL. Cajuste is probably a ST, Karras is a G/C backup and our other rookie will be the top backup
TE
Watson can't sign soon enough, presumably in the next 2 weeks. The question is whether also bring in another. We've been spoiled. Watson, ASJ, and Lecosse may be fine for 2019 with Belichick. Obviously, Belichick really disliked this supposed great TE class. We'll be looking again every year, but Belichick seem OK for 2019. --> I think they would select Fant or Hock in a heart beat. I think it was more about the range of the selections. Maybe they did not like the guys the fall into their range (Irv and Sternberger). If i had spare money i would bet in a 2 TE roster. 2 of them Izzo/Lacosse/ASJ if they don't trade for Rudolph or Watson is back. There is no point to carry a player that won't crack the 46. Anderson could not, and i don't know if this Beck can. Try to stash one or 2 into PS and move on.
LB
a special teamer is possible --> I hope the UDFA or Sam to make the 53. King is a GOOD STer but KVN and Elandon are set to be FA. Bentley was a nice surprise but i let's hope he can stay healthy first.
DB
I don't see anyone making the team --> Keion is gonne IMO. Ster only player, not much upside.
