With the Patriots mandatory mini-camp over, it is time to a very early look at a New England Patriots<\/strong><\/a> 53-man roster projection. We were fortunate enough to be there for the entire three days this season. While there was no contact and no pads, it gave a good if albeit premature look at how the 2019 roster could play out.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Later this summer, we\u2019ll post primers for each position but here is our first crack at a  workable 53-man roster.

Offense – <\/strong>
Quarterbacks: <\/strong>(3)<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Tom Brady, Brian Hoyer, Jarrett Stidham

The Patriots will once again go with three quarterbacks this summer. Hoyer is entrenched as the #2 for now and in minicamp the rookie Stidham was taking all of the #3 reps, at times on the final day, he even got #2 reps before Hoyer so the coaches could get a look at what he can do in the offense. He has a long way to go, but he\u2019s clearly got the coaches intrigued with his down-the-road potential.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Bad news for Danny Etling who was working as the personal protector during minicamp. Oh and that Brady kid from Michigan? He\u2019ll be okay and should stick\u2026.

Running backs:<\/strong> (6)

Sony Michel, Rex Burkhead, James White, Damien Harris, Brandon Bolden, James Develin

Sony Michel missed all of mini-camp which raises the question if he\u2019s hurt. With the drafting of the impressive rookie Harris, he and Burkhead can spell Michel if he\u2019s out for a while. James White isn\u2019t going anywhere and the team brought back Bolden for STs and to fill in if needed. Develin is invaluable as the fullback who can block and catch the odd pass here or there.

Tight ends:<\/strong> (3)
Matt Lacosse, Ryan Izzo, Stephen Anderson **Ben Watson Suspended**

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Patriots have Lacosse as the clear #1 heading into the season with Watson suspended for the first month of the season unless they make a trade. Izzo is the blocking (read Dwayne Allen) tight end who nudges out Andrew Beck while Anderson is the \u201cmove\u201d tight end who may be on the block once Watson is eligible to return. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The position has been totally revamped since last season and it may take some time to gel once the regular season starts. Training camp will be invaluable for this group<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Wide Receivers:<\/strong> (5)
Julian Edelman, N\u2019Keal Harry, Phillip Dorsett, Maurice Harris, Jakobi Meyers
**Josh Gordon Suspended** ***Demaryius Thomas PUP***
<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Edelman, Harry, and Dorsett are roster locks…barring injury. Meyers with his size and hands makes it yet another year with a UDFA making the roster out of training camp. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n

Thomas and Gordon (if reinstated), give the team some intriguing options. Berrios had a good spring and looks the part in the slot, he and Meyers will battle it out for the spot. Dontrelle Inman has a lot of ground to make up. He didn\u2019t catch a single pass in team drills during mini-camp. Ryan Davis and Gunner Olszewski are practice squad candidates.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Offensive line:<\/strong> (8)
Isaiah Wynn, David Andrews, Shaq Mason, Marcus Cannon, Joe Thuney, Yodny Cajuste, Ted Karras, Hjalte Froholdt

The state of the offensive line centers around health. Wynn missed all of last year with an Achilles injury. He was at mini-camp but was held out of team drills. Cajuste who they drafted this spring had off-season surgery and it is hoped he\u2019ll be ready to go by September. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

In the meantime, Joe Thuney played left tackle this spring. Expect him to get some work there this summer, even if Wynn is a full go for training camp. Left tackle and swing tackle are the two question marks. Cole Croston heads to the practice squad. After that, the offensive line is solid. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Defense –<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Edge Players:<\/strong> (4)
Michael Bennett, Deatrich Wise, John Simon, Chase Winovich
<\/p>\n\n\n\n

After losing Trey Flowers, the Patriots brought in Bennett. Wise is a solid if unspectacular veteran now and Simon played very well for them last season. They\u2019re hoping Winovich can step in and play as advertised. I like his motor and relentlessness. This could be the end of the line for Derek Rivers this summer. He is going to be given an opportunity to show what he can do. He got reps with the 1st personnel grouping last week. Keionta Davis and Trent Harris may still be able to step up in case of an injury.  

Interior Defensive Line: <\/strong>(4)<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Lawrence Guy, Mike Pennel, Danny Shelton, Adam Butler<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Guy and Pennel should be the Week 1 starting combination inside. Shelton returns, as the backup big man inside. Butler is the best pass rusher of the group. David Parry and Byron Cowart are on the outside but will have to turn some heads in August.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Linebacker:<\/strong> (6)

Dont\u2019a Hightower, Kyle Van Noy, Jamie Collins, Ja\u2019Whaun Bentley, Elandon Roberts, Brandon King

Linebacker is a position of strength heading into training camp this summer. Hightower has slimmed down, gotten more pliable, and is moving well. Van Noy has been a jack of all trades, but the biggest surprise (pleasant) of the spring has been the play of Collins. He has been all over the field disrupting plays at the line and playing solid coverage<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Roberts, coming off of a solid postseason and Bentley who shined early in 2018 before ending on IR, gives the group really good depth. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Cornerback:<\/strong> (6)
Stephon Gilmore, J.C. Jackson, Jason McCourty, Joejuan Williams, Jonathan Jones, Duke Dawson

Gilmore and Jackson are the starters for Week 1. But this group is really deep and very talented. Jones and Dawson (who beats out Crossen) can play in the slot and McCourty can play safety, outside or inside. Williams is a big corner (6\u20194) that allows him to play against the bigger WRs or even tight ends. The versatility of this group provides them with the matchups they can roll against nearly every opponent.

Safety:<\/strong> (4)
Devin McCourty, Pat Chung, Duron Harmon, Nate Ebner<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Ebner beats out Terrence Brooks …on paper for now. Brooks has superior defensive skills but Ebner is a Belichick favorite on Special Teams. Obi Melifonwu played STs and has the size and athleticism but seems far back on the depth chart right now. He\u2019ll need a big summer to push Ebner and Brooks off the roster. Malik Grant is a candidate for the practice squad.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Specialists:<\/strong> (4)
Kicker Stephen Gostkowski, punter Jake Bailey, long-snapper Joe Cardona, Gunner Matthew Slater

Gostkowski returns and has no camp competition. He and long snapper Joe Cardona are both locks for the 53-man roster. The big competition is at punter. The team brought back the steady Ryan Allen on a one-year deal but they moved up to draft Jake Bailey, the big-legged punter and kick off specialist from Stanford. By now you\u2019ve no doubt heard about the charge he puts into the ball. If he gets his consistency down, he\u2019ll make the roster. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Slater isn\u2019t going anywhere. Watching him race up and down the field this spring, practicing his moves on his own shows the fire still burns very bright for him.
