Jeremy Gallon 2013 Highlights (by Dan Bos)
I’m excited to see this guy in the preseason, he’s a real wild card in the wide receiver competition.
Fun question, though to be honest I don’t think Dobson is a lock to breakout unlike some others. But here’s five guys I think will play a significant role this year.
1. Bryan Stork – I think he could very well be our starter at center for the forseeable future.
2. Michael Buchanan – Based on the lack of activity at defensive end, when so much attention has been paid to pass rush/coverage at other spots, I think the Pats are counting on Buchanan to be make a jump.
3. Duron Harmon – Really liked what I saw out of him in limited time last year – good range, solid and physical tackler. I think he’ll be an upgrade on Gregory and will be effective both in the box and on the back end.
4. Brandon LaFell – I think it’s quite possible LaFell is the starting X receiver this year. His physicality will be hard to ignore, especially if Dobson’s injury issues continue.
5. James White/Stephen Houston – Given the issues Vereen and Ridley have had throughout their first three seasons, I think White and Houston will be thrown into the fire early and often this year. I need to see them in preseason before knowing which will have the bigger impact.

I just like them. Like a lot.
Pats added some much-needed linebacker depth today signing former Bear James Anderson. To make room they released WR Mark Harrison. Disappointed to see Harrison go, he had some great measurables but it once again proves that great size and speed don’t make for a great football player.
Anderson started all 16 games for the Bears last season, with four sacks and 85 tackles. At 6’3", 220 pounds he’s a little smaller than the Pats traditionally go at linebacker, but he has solid numbers in coverage and that’s likely where he’ll contribute most.
He and Steve Beauharnais should go head-to-head to be the fourth linebacker on the field, with Anderson being a slight favorite unless it’s at mike. Anderson played some strong-side linebacker as well, but he’s probably too small for that in the Pats’ system.
Between Mark Anderson and James Harrison, this move is really quite confusing at the moment.
Here’s your updated depth chart:
