2025 Offseason Roster, Depth Chart & Roster Projections

[WhatJustHappened]

To @mgteich 's point that might happen if they chose to move on from Rham or Gibson.

I like Gibson. Hes had some years in which hes hit 1000yds and had 40+ catches. I don't think hes a bellcow but i'm not sure Rham is either nor do I think we need one. I also think hes a better receiver than Rham.

Rham did have 69 catches 1 year....I think folks forget that.

 

[WhatJustHappened]

I loved James White, but I HATED that the defense almost knew it was a screen or something similar.
People want that giveaway back, but I don't.

* -- I'm assuming Bourne is not traded in this roster projection.
If he is traded, add Kayshon Boutte.
I'm predicting that both Polk (24% catch rate) and Baker (25%) are quick anecdotes in the dustbin of Pats history.

 

[Real fan 02]

Apologies if I missed anybody or have a player in the wrong position.
The ranking/order of each position is obviouly debatable, as is exact position.
Was not 100% sure on where to place some of the UDFAs, such as Jordan Polk.

I'm counting 94 players, so either some of these UDFA announcements were premature, or just workout invitations - or there are going to be some cuts announced soon.


And if you want to make way-too-early roster projections here, go for it.

Vrabel's vision: Updated Patriots depth chart with 2025 draft picks

The Patriots addressed needs on both sides of the ball in the 2025 NFL Draft. Here's a look at their updated depth chart with each pick.

Thanks as always JMT... question? Is Milton Williams a DT or NT??

Thanks as always JMT... question? Is Milton Williams a DT or NT??

DT or DE, but not heavy enough (6'3, 290) to be a NT.

Khyiris Tonga would be the heaviest guy on the line (338 pounds), and only one that could conceivably be a NT.

Ok thanks for that. Because in Philly he and Carter lined up over the center in the DT and NT formations; I believe that was to utilize their speed and power to get off in between the gaps. Tonga I like, the guy's a great run player and holds his own. Williams projects to rush all over the front likely..

 

[Real fan 02]

Rham did have 69 catches 1 year....I think folks forget that.

He did I think 2022?? Also white said himself he doesn't have the elite speed that Henderson posses. White played well within the scheme and had great hands and quickness.. Henderson is going to be a problem for defenses.

Looks great .. whom did you leave out...

 

[p8ryts]

Looks great .. whom did you leave out...

not buying Bourne, Polk and Bell.

 

[Real fan 02]

Looks great .. whom did you leave out...

Looks like Boutte...

 

[The Gr8est]

not buying Bourne, Polk and Bell.

I see Efton Chism, Brock Lampe, and CJ Dippre having a solid chance to make the 53.

In addition to the seemingly great draft we had, it also seems that our UDFA crop is more promising as well.

Very unique year.

Hall of Fame left tackle Joe Thomas said, “Will Campbell will be a great Patriot.” He thinks the arm length thing is ridiculous.

I like this a lot.. near perfect in my opinion ... Marte mapu is gone in this case ...

 

[VJCPatriot]

Looking at our depth chart I feel grateful to see Drake Maye as QB1. Hindsight being 20/20 Mayo screwing us out of #1 pick means we had zero shot at Cam Ward. Imagine your choice is to reach for Dart or Shadeur Sanders at #4? Ugh. Thank goodness we picked the best QB available last year in Maye instead of trading down.
