Of course, UDFA's always have a chance to make the 53 man roster, even without injuries to other players. That being said, IMHO it isn't very likely except perhaps at punter. Most of us will pick our UDFA binky or two. That's fine. I think that there are some good players who will likely NOT make the team, and lot of camp fodder also.
I'm not saying that players on my list are all locks. However, UDFA's would need to beat out players like Ruud and Alexander who have no spots and then beat out one of Hobson, Seau, Woods or Izzo to get a roster spot. I think that it is unlikely for more than two rookie linebackers to be on this patriot squad.
And just BTW, there is a very long list of players who poster here have indicated would beat out Izzo. The reality is that he will be on the 53-man squad unless he's on the IR.
