Lol Ive been hearing good things about moore and pryor. So put them over d butlerI think an interesting exercise for all roster-mockers would be to rank order their roster. For instance:
1) Brady QB
2) Mankins OG
3) Wilfork NT....
51) Butler CB
52) Moore OLB/DE
53) Pryor DT
So that we can get a good idea of where your trade-offs and vertical sort for the roster looks like.
Originally, teams were supposed to get down to 75 players on August 30. The NFL announced that number has been raised to 80, presumably to give teams more leeway because of the abbreviated offseason.
This was essentially done so that more players would be available to use and evaluate in the often-useless fourth preseason week.
How many have the Pats added in any other year? Off the top of my head it's usually one or two destined for the Practice Squad; the impact that Danny Woodhead made last year is more of an exception rather than the rule to most late free agent additions.So, even allowing for 5 IR or PUP players per team, there will be 700 players waived for the last cut. That's a lot of players suddenly becoming available!
But if we believe the analysis from another thread, our depth is so good that none of these 700 will interest the patriots, except for some of our own that we will try to put on Practice Squad after they pass waivers (which they won't since they are patriot castoffs).
