th<\/sup> Round pick Joe Milton to make the team he will have to show something in camp and during scrimmages and pre-season games.\u00a0 We all know he can throw a football through a brick wall, but does he have the touch to feather a pass when needed.\u00a0 Can he consistently make the short and intermediate throws accurately?<\/p>\nIf they need a roster spot for another position, they might go into the season with just two QBs and third on the PS.<\/p>\n
I hope that Drake Maye is not rushed into the lineup.\u00a0 The questions regarding the offensive line make me leery to allow Maye to get into the lineup.\u00a0 Keep Brissett at QB and let the veteran absorb the pash rush while the Offensive line gels.\u00a0 Brissett will not panic like a rookie would.<\/p>\n
Im not sure Milton would make it through to the Practice Squad (PC).\u00a0 Zappe was cut last year and passed through waivers.\u00a0 I think this will be done again and have him available as a backup should Brissett get hurt.<\/p>\n
Running Back (4):<\/strong> Rhamondre Stevenson, Antonio Gibson, Kevin Harris, JaMycal Hasty<\/p>\nCuts (2): DeShaun Fenwick (PS), Terrell Jennings<\/p>\n
Rhamondre Stevenson received his contract extension<\/p>\n
The running back position is tough to evaluate until live tackling begins, so the guys on the roster bubble will need to showcase their skills in the preseason. Gibson and Harris are locks. Both project to be heavily involved in the run game, with Stevenson as hopefully a more efficient lead-back now that he’s paired with a perfect complement in Gibson. That might mean less volume for Rhamondre, which is good for his health but bad for your fantasy teams.<\/p>\n
Hasty is a veteran and either Fenwick or Jennings would have to show something in Training Camp to push him off that spot.\u00a0 I wouldn\u2019t be surprised if they claimed another Running back off waivers.<\/p>\n
Wide Receiver (5)<\/strong>: DeMario Douglas, Ja’Lynn Polk, Javon Baker, KJ Osborn, Jalen Reagor<\/p>\nPUP\/IR (1) Kendrick Bourne<\/p>\n
Cut\/Trade (6): JuJu Smith-Schuster, Tyquan Thornton (PS), Kayshon Boutte, Kawaan Baker, David Wallis, JaQuae Jackson<\/p>\n
Bourne may not be ready to start Training Camp and I could see him put on PUP until he is ready to start working out.<\/p>\n
Unless he has a tremendous camp, I just don\u2019t see a spot for JuJu Smith-Shuster. \u00a0I would have cut him June 1st<\/sup> so they could spread out the $12.3M dead money cap hit over 2 seasons.<\/p>\nKJ Osborn can take that role Smith-Schuster had. He is a proven veteran.\u00a0 \u00a0Jalen Reagor is an exciting Kickoff returner.\u00a0 Who knows what the new kickoff rules will generate.\u00a0 Reagor has a history of dropped passes, so I wouldn\u2019t consider him a threat in the passing game.\u00a0 It\u2019s the end of the line for the wasted pick of Tyquan Thornton.\u00a0 He is too slender and got hurt on the first play of his brief career.\u00a0 Thornton also doesn\u2019t run good pass routes.\u00a0 I cannot believe that Kayshon Boutte wasn\u2019t cut the day the allegation of illegal betting came out.\u00a0 Too much risk with this guy.<\/p>\n
Rookies Ja\u2019lynn Polk and Javon Baker will have a bigger role than normal rookies.\u00a0 Both are potentially exciting players.\u00a0 \u00a0According to rookie Wide Receiver coach Trent Hughes, “He has a really great work ethic and a process that he sticks to every single day. He’s been good about that. I think his improvement has come from learning our system and playbook and how his skill set fits into that\u201d. \u00a0\u00a0Baker made some bold statements when drafted and in training camp we will see if he can back up what he professed.<\/p>\n
Tight End (3):<\/strong> Hunter Henry, Austin Hooper, Jaheim Bell<\/p>\nCuts (3): La’Michael Pettway, Mitchell Wilcox, Jacob Warren<\/p>\n
Alex Van Pelt\u2019s offense uses Tight Ends and motion as a critical part of the offense.\u00a0 Using three TE sets is not unusual.\u00a0 Unfortunately, none of these TE\u2019s is known for their blocking.\u00a0 Hooper is a veteran and has played for Van Pelt before. Henry has turned out to be the leader and captain for the team.\u00a0 You know exactly what you will get from him.<\/p>\n
Rookies Bell and Jacob Warren will compete for the last spot.\u00a0 Bell could be a potentially versatile player, moving all around the formation.\u00a0 His Yards After Catch should be excellent.<\/p>\n
Warren is strictly a blocker.\u00a0 However, none of the top three can block.\u00a0 What does the team need more?<\/p>\n
Offensive Line (9):<\/strong> Chuks Okorafor, Mike Onwenu, Sidy Sow, David Andrews, Caedan Wallace, Layden Robinson, Calvin Anderson, Jake Andrews, Nick Leverett<\/p>\nPUP\/IR (1): Cole Strange<\/p>\n
Cuts (6): Vederian Lowe (PS), Atonio Mafi (PS), Tyrone Wheatley, Michael Jordan, Charles Turner (PS), Zuri Henry (PS)<\/p>\n
I am very concerned about the Offensive Line.\u00a0 Potential starters are Okorafor LT, Sow LG, D, Andrews C, Onwenu RG, and Wallace RT.\u00a0 If and that is a big if, they can gel, this could be a very good Offensive line.\u00a0 The question marks is whether or not Okorafor can move from Right Tackle to Left Tackle; Sow filling in for Cole Strange and can he make the transition from RG to LG; Michale Onwenu moving back to RG and rookie Caeden Wallace starting at RT.\u00a0 According to Greg Bedard, Onwenu looked out of shape at Spring workouts and that needs to be monitored.\u00a0 Onwenu got paid this year and this is how he shows up to off season workouts?<\/p>\n
I am not sold on Jake Andrews but the team does not have a proven backup Center.\u00a0 Could Undrafted rookie Charles Turner put pressure on him for the backup spot?<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n
(PHOTO: Rich Barnes-USA TODAY Sports)<\/span><\/strong><\/div>\n<\/div>\nDefensive Line (6):<\/strong> Christian Barmore, Davon Godchaux, Deatrich Wise, Daniel Ekuale, Armon Watts, Jeremiah Pharms<\/p>\nCuts (2): Sam Roberts (PS), Trysten Hill<\/p>\n
Barmore, Godchaux and Wise are solid starters.\u00a0 The Godchaux \u201chold in\u201d will get resolved.\u00a0 The Patriots have no backup plan for Godchaux.\u00a0 He played all 17 games last year and continued good health is critical to the Patriots Defense.\u00a0 Watts will assume the Lawrence Guy role in a rotation.\u00a0 Ekuale provides a good pass rush from the interior but is not stout enough to handle Nose Tackle on every down.\u00a0 Pharms has impressed in limited play.\u00a0 The veteran paid his dues in the XFL and Artena leagues before his stint with the Patriots.<\/p>\n
Hill may push for a spot and Roberts is just too small.<\/p>\n
EDGE Defender (4): <\/strong>Matthew Judon, Keion White, Oshane Ximines, Anfernee Jennings<\/p>\nCuts (2): Joshua Uche, John Morgan<\/p>\n
I put Keon White in the Edge group since he isn\u2019t big enough for every down player at DT.\u00a0 His position is an enigma, as a second-round pick, he should be a starter.\u00a0 Right now, he is a specialist on passing downs, usually at DT.<\/p>\n
How much does Matt Judon have left in his tank?\u00a0 This is probably his last year In a Patriots uniform.\u00a0 Don\u2019t be surprised if Judon is traded before the season starts.\u00a0 Judon turns 32 before the season starts and he has been injured the last two seasons.\u00a0 The Patriots survived without Judon, with Anfernee Jennings stepping up.<\/p>\n
Oshane Ximines is a player to watch as a potential dark horse candidate to make the roster. Ximines has their ideal body type (6-3, 253) and some pass-rush juice to earn a roster spot.<\/p>\n
Uche signed a Vet minimum contract to stay with the Patriots.\u00a0 My guess is there was no market for Uche\u2019s services.\u00a0 He is a one trick pony (pass rusher) with only his speed rush and no secondary move.<\/p>\n
Linebacker (4):<\/strong> Ja’Whaun Bentley, Jahlani Tavai, Sione Takitaki, Raekwon McMillan<\/p>\nCuts (4): Joe Giles-Harris (PS), Christian Eliss (PS), Jontrey Hunter, Steele Chambers (PS), William Bradley-King, Jotham Russell (PS)<\/p>\n
This according to Evan Lazar of Patriots.com \u201cAnother position group without any major surprises for the time being. The first three names are locks, with Bentley and Tavai projected as core players for the Pats defense\u201d. \u00a0This Spring the ILBs were very limited for practices that were open to the media.\u00a0 The back up linebackers need to provide coverage on Special Teams.\u00a0 Raekwon McMillan has been hampered with injuries throughout his career.\u00a0 Joe Giles-Harris may push McMillan for the last spot.<\/p>\n
Cornerback (6):<\/strong> Christian Gonzalez, Jonathan Jones, Marcus Jones, Alex Austin, Isaiah Bolden, Marco Wilson<\/p>\nCuts (5): Shaun Wade, Marcellus Dial (PS), Azizi Hearn, Mike Victor, Kaleb Ford-Dement<\/p>\n
I am looking forward to seeing this group healthy and seeing what they can do. \u00a0\u00a0Gonzalez, in his brief month-long preview last season showed why he was drafted so high and is a future shutdown corner. \u00a0\u00a0Gonzalez received Defensive Rookie of the month before he got hurt and missed the remainder of the season.<\/p>\n
Marcus Jones is back from injury, and he was good at the slot corner and punt returner.\u00a0 \u00a0Alex Austin, who finished the 2023 season on a high note and is picking up where he left off. Austin is now securely on the team as a rotational outside corner.\u00a0 Lets not forget about Jonathan Jones.\u00a0 He will turn 31 in September.\u00a0 I would love to see him moved to Free Safety.\u00a0 He has the speed to play the position.\u00a0 Marco Wilson is a 4-year veteran formerly with Arizona could provide that vet backup at both CB and Free Safety.\u00a0 Wilson pushes out Shaun Wade for that last spot.\u00a0 The Patriots have been waiting for Wade to step up and he has run out of time. Isaiah Bolden will battle rookie draft pick Marcellus Dial for the last spot.\u00a0 Special teams play will decide that battle.<\/p>\n
Safety (5):<\/strong> Kyle Dugger, Jabrill Peppers, Marte Mapu, Jaylinn Hawkins, Joshuah Bledsoe,<\/p>\nCuts (2): Dell Pettus<\/p>\n
Evan Lazar had this to say about Hawkins. \u201cThe new name here is fifth-year safety Jaylinn Hawkins. The former fourth-round pick in the 2020 NFL Draft has 25 career starts with the Falcons and Chargers, so Hawkins isn’t a throwaway addition after signing as a free agent in March. The veteran safety could be the current group’s Duron Harmon, playing deep safety in obvious passing situations to allow Dugger and Peppers to play closer to the ball\u201d.\u00a0 \u00a0Dugger signed a big contract extension.\u00a0 He needs to improve his pass coverage.\u00a0 That was what dropped him in the PFF rankings to #68 Safety In the league.\u00a0 Consequently, Peppers was ranked 4th<\/sup> by PFF.\u00a0 Would have liked to see Pepper get locked up with an extension.\u00a0 Mapu is a redundant player to Dugger and Peppers, but the 2nd<\/sup> year player should make a big jump in play.\u00a0 Bledsoe has been on the fringes of the roster since he was drafted injured from Missouri in the 2021 draft.\u00a0 He was waived at the end of Training Camp last season and signed to the Practice Squad.\u00a0 He was signed to the 53-man roster in December.\u00a0 \u00a0Bledsoe will be an Exclusive Rights Free Agent next year.<\/p>\nSpecial Teams (4):<\/strong> Kicker TBD (Ryland\/Slye\/ NFL Vet), Bryce Baringer, Joe Cardona, Brenden Schooler<\/p>\nBrendan Schooler is the only coverage ace on the team now.\u00a0 The days of keeping multiple players to play special teams only are gone.<\/p>\n
Chad Ryland was absolutely putrid last year, dead last in all kicking stats.\u00a0 Why is he still here?\u00a0 Just because the team doesn\u2019t want to be embarrassed, they spent a 4th<\/sup> round pick on a kicker that turns out to be a bust?\u00a0 The Pats brought in Joey Slye for the competition.\u00a0 During minicamp, Ryland was 5-for-8 on field goals, while Slye went 8-for-8. Neither showed off a huge leg.\u00a0 I am surprised the team didn\u2019t sign UFL kicker Jake Bates.\u00a0 Don\u2019t be surprised if the team doesn\u2019t bring in another veteran kicker if these two don\u2019t play well in pre-season.<\/p>\nCardona is getting up there in age (32) and a replacement will be needed soon.\u00a0 He is of Mexican American decent, one of a few players in the league.<\/p>\n
Bryce Baringer started the season off well but tailed off as the season progressed.\u00a0 He was 2nd<\/sup> in the number of punts, 3rd<\/sup> in punts inside 20, but only 19th<\/sup> in Punt Gross Average.\u00a0 \u00a0Baringer is playing in the Massachusetts Amateur Golf tournament later this month.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Patriots 2024 53-man Roster Projection \u2013 Pre-Training Camp<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":23,"featured_media":53582,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"jetpack_post_was_ever_published":false,"_jetpack_newsletter_access":"","_jetpack_dont_email_post_to_subs":false,"_jetpack_newsletter_tier_id":0,"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paywalled_content":false,"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paid_content":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[10],"tags":[44,22184],"class_list":["post-54440","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-patriots-news","tag-new-england-patriots","tag-patriots-roster-projection"],"yoast_head":"\n
