Base Case - First 2026 53-Man Roster

[Real fan 02]

Different style of player than McPoo... I'm hoping he becomes a stouter, more nimble & more consistent version of Elandon Roberts.

We need a sideline-to- sideline athletic LB.. Obiazor seems to fit the bill. Cap i think the unique thing entering camp is there's no Clear cut role for some guys they all will have an opportunity to prove themselves.. Robert's was excellent downhill.. however get him in space and you may as well ask Stevie Wonder to cover..

I'm not sure that Obi has much of that style of game in him either. He has the long speed for coverage, but his agility scores speaks to his possible vulnerability to double-moves off the LOS... And while I do expect him to posses chase-down ability into the flats, I still believe that he'll earn most of his pay between the Tackles.

Cory Durden?

I suppose a lot can happen in 3 years; but this still doesn't fit the profile of any current NT with whom I'm familiar, or need to be familiar...

Patriots.com lists his weight at 305. Better; but still...

I thought Tonga played really well last season. better than I expected.
but when he went out with injury, and Durden got more snaps, I thought Durden was equal, maybe better.
certainly there would be room for both, but Tonga is no longer here
time for Farmer to take a season 2 leap
