Early thoughts that could very easily change:
- Hobson is on the outside looking in of my 53
- Spann replaces Hobson, Lynch belongs more with the LB's, than the S's
- Izzo makes the team as does Aiken if he's healthy
- Final open spot goes to Wilhite or Webster though both could make the team over Lewis Sanders by the end of camp.
- Ventrone is my top in house candidate to make the roster if Aiken is unable to play
- I could see the Patriots adding another pure WR if a good veteran is cut by another team. The same type of addition could be made on the OL and at TE.
- I realize I am an ILB short to start the season, but I see Thomas or Vrabel moving inside if Bruschi or Mayo is injured. Junior Seau will be on speed dial and Guyton will (hopefuly) be on the practice squad.
- Possible surprise cuts: Dave Thomas (injury bug, may only keep 2 TE's and Watson has trouble staying healthy so the more reliable Pollard might get the nod). Lamont Jordan (team decides it can't keep 5 RB's).
- Possible surprise survivors: Guyton/Redd (too much talent to make it through waivers).
