Source: 2012 Patriots Roster Projection | NEPatriotsDraft.com - 2013 NFL Draft
I think they are pretty close in their projection. Though I think we'll carry either Ron Brace, Myron Pryor, or Gerard Warren into the roster at the expense of Stallworth or Branch who are fighting it out for the last WR spot.
Ryan Mallet could be a "surprise cut". He's going to have to play well in pre-season. If he doesn't show anything in pre-season, he's done... He has no trade value right now after being passed over in the draft so much. BB can't waste a roster spot on someone who will likely never take a snap this season and offers no value in Special Teams.
Danny Aiken and Nate Ebner are no shoe-ins either. Both could easily be cut.
I could see Brandon Bolden making the roster. One of Tarpinian/Koutavides might slip in too.
