Patriots 53-Man Roster Projection: Can Fifth Running Back Make Team?
Saw that and thought "guess it is not too early".
QB - 3 - Brady, Garopollo, Brissett - No surprises here.
WR - 5 - Cooks, Edelman Hogan, Mitchell, Amendola - Hawkins probably gives some good competition but in the end Amendola takes the last job.
TE - 2 - Gronk, Allen - Develin as emergency TEs allow you to carry just 2 on the 53.
RB/FB - 6 -White, Lewis, Gillislee, Burkhead, Foster, Develin- Foster won't make the practice squad so you carry him or lose him. I think they try to stash him later in the year but he makes this cut.
OT - 4 - Solder, Cannon, Garcia, Flemming - Waddle loses his spot this year.
IOL - 5 - Thuney, Andrews, Mason, Karras, J. King - I don't like the options at the 5th IOL spot as much as years past I think they keep 1 more guy. It's early but I'd say King sticks.
DE - 5 - Ealy, Flowers, Rivers, Nink, Wise - No surprises here.
DT - 4 - Branch, Brown Valentine, Guy - Again no surprises.
LB - 5 - Hightower, Langi, Roberts, McClellin, Van Noy - Langi i think shoots up the depth chart very quickly. I could see them cutting McClellin as i don't think he is worth the cap hit.
CB - 5 - Butler, Gilmore, Rowe, J. Jones, C. Jones- I just don't see them giving up on Cyrus this year unless he has attitude issues and when it cost you more to cut a guy than keep him this year by a fair amount you'd like to give it another shot.
S - 5 - McCourty, Chung, Harmon, Ebner, B. King - Pats decide Richards is what he is and let him walk. I don't think he is a bad player just nothing special you need to hold on to.
STs* (forgot to put it in) - 4 - Gost, Allen, Cardona, Slater
