Highlights of Patriots’ Undrafted Rookie RBs
The Pats drafted James White and also signed Roy Finch from Oklahoma and Stephen Houston of Indiana. Definitely a spot to be had with significant carries this year, they’re all on a level competitive playing ground now…
“In the eight years of doing this game, [Easley] was the most dominant defensive player aside from Da’Quan Bowers in 2008,” said Tucker, who is the director of player personnel for the Under Armour game.

Me personally I love the Easley pick but how do yhu see the dline rotation playing out. Easley, Bequette, Buchanan, Siligia, Chris Jones, Vellano, Armstead,Wilfork, Kelly, Will Smith, Chandler Jones , & Ninkovich. Who makes the team. Which unit could be most dangerous. Best pass rushing unit & best run stopping unit.
Getting a lot of questions like this today for obvious reasons. I think the important thing is that injuries and competition have to play out. Especially in a situation like this, where there is some uncertainty due to injury.
But it’s fun to pretend, so let’s assume everybody’s healthy and there are no major surprises.
4-3 (standard run defense): Ninkovich-Wilfork-Kelly-Chandler
4-3 (double nose): Ninkovich-Siliga-Wilfork-Chandler
3-4: Kelly-Wilfork-Chandler Ninkovich-Hightower-Mayo-Collins
Nickel (run protection): Ninkovich-Wilfork-Easley-Chandler
Nickel (pass rush): Ninkovich-Chris Jones/Armstead-Easley-Chandler
or
Ninkovich-Chandler-Easley-Buchanan/Wil Smith
Dime (3-2-6): Buchanan-Wilfork-Easley Collins/Mayo at LB
As you can see there are plenty of options and a number of guys can be mixed and matched. I think Easley and probably Chris Jones are locks at DT, but after them Armstead/Kelly/Vellano will have to duke it out. Kelly could sneak on by getting PUP’d. I’d guess the Pats will be creative and calculating when it comes to the PUP list.
The good news is that there is depth and a number of options, however the lack of depth on the edges could be a problem. Ninkovich and Chandler are keys to almost every package.
