Patriots Player Departure OFFICIAL 2025 Patriots roster cutdown day discussion / tracker

I don't know is that a statement of how good the Patriots draft was this year or a damnation of how bad the roster he inherited is. Probably a little bit of both.
It’s a statement of the 2025 draft. Of course, all of the 2024 draft class made the 53 last year as well.
 
A cautionary tale about putting too much value in pre-season draft rankings. He started off the draft process with a 2nd round grade.


Then he ran the 40 at lineman speed.
 
6.8?? Is that real? I think even Will Campbell ran like a 4.9 as a tackle...
Lol, I was embellishing. It was a 4.83 I think.

Probably the most shocked I’ve been in regards to a 40 time. I remember I was looking to see if he could break 4.6.
 
I hope we ALL understand that whatever names appear on the 53 man roster at 4pm today will be different than the ones that will be playing opening day.

Lots of movement on rosters all season. WHATEVER happens today.
 
Were we watching the same player? Vederian Lowe qualifies as neither “decent” or “quality “ tackle depth.

Lol oh okay. Chism ran a 4.7 and he was considered slow as molasses... so yeah, 4.83 is rough.

Yeah, it crushed his draft value. I felt really bad for him. He lost a lot of money.

The names that appear on the 53 today will probably be fairly different than the names on the 53 in just 24 hours from now.
 

Kobee Minor made it? Ugh, didn’t like what I saw out of him in the games, just doesn’t look anywhere close to being ready. PS absolutely, give him a chance to grow. But 53 and getting to play now? Not yet. And not worth crying about if he gets claimed.
 
Current offensive roster, with more cuts to come soon:

QB (2) Drake Maye, Joshua Dobbs
RB (5) Rhamondre Stevenson, Antonio Gibson, TreVeyon Henderson, Terrell Jennings, JaMycal Hasty
TE (4) Hunter Henry, Austin Hooper, Jack Westover, Gee Scott Jr.
WR (10) Stefon Diggs, Demario Douglas, Kyle Williams, Efton Chism III, Mack Hollins, Kayshon Boutte, Kendrick Bourne, Javon Baker, Jeremiah Webb, Ja'Lynn Polk
C (2) Garrett Bradbury, Ben Brown
G (5) Mike Onwenu, Cole Strange, Jared Wilson, Caedan Wallace, Jack Conley
T (4) Will Campbell, Morgan Moses, Marcus Bryant, Vederian Lowe

Total Players: 32

IR (3) RB Lan Larison, FB Brock Lampe, OT Yasir Durant

Most of these remaining players are ones that have been mentioned for the roster or the practice squad.

Maybe this has changed now, but Jack Conley hasn't been cut yet and he doesn't fit that catagory, I haven't heard any buzz about him. What is the deal, is he not answering his phone? Or, is his versatility giving the Patriots pause?

Yup, but see Ross’ post above.

Chism is a great example of over valuing top speed vs quickness and acceleration. His short shuttle and 3 cone time more accurately reflects what we are seeing on the field. He will win against coverage in short to intermediate routes. I am excited to see how his season goes...fingers crossed he can stay healthy.
 
This isn't difficult. Everyone has practiced, so the only option available is IR.

IR at this point is season-ending only if one of two things happens:
(1) They go on IR today without being given a DTR, or
(2) They go on IR less than 24 hours after being on the 53 (for anyone that makes the 53 today, that would be 4 PM tomorrow).
Chism, Baker, Bourne, Tavai and others could go to IR.... IDK which are eligible for what exactly, some can return and some can't, but the point is they can open the roster spots to carry everyone who is borderline on this roster.
 
I thought he was a good not great guard. Again, probably should have been a late second day pick.
Easy to guess that now, but at the time he was a rising prospect with one of the highest RAS scores in history who dominated the Shrine Bowl practices coached by NE coaches. He could easily have gone in r2 before we picked again. He was a starter his rookie year. And he was the 29th pick, not the 10th or whatever, and many picks in that range don't work out.

He was a starter because Bill traded away one guard, let a future HOF guard walk in free agency, and then jerked around a competent stop-gap guard with a low ball offer.
