Here’s where we’re at right now after two games down. Don’t feel great about the depth along either side of the line, the door could still be open for an unknown at both spots.
Jermaine Cunningham and Ras-I Dowling are still on despite having injuries, the depth and experience at their positions is just too light to let them go in my mind.
QB (2) Brady, Mallett – Sorry Tim, I just don’t see the value in keep you.
RB (5) Ridley, Vereen, Bolden, Blount, Washington – All for keeping all five.
WR (6) Amendola, Thompkins, Dobson, Boyce, Edelman, Slater – Seems pretty set, all will rotate heavily.
TE (3) Ballard, Sudfeld, Fells – Gronk stays on PUP, with Ballard and Sudfeld being the main guys to start the season while Fells can fill in while also playing an H-back role.
C (1) Wendell
G (3) Mankins, Cannon, Connolly – Need Cannon and Connolly back at 100%.
T (3) Vollmer, Solder, Svitek – Svitek’s ability to play guard is huge.
DE (6) Jones, Ninkovich, Benard, Francis, Cunningham, Buchanan – Jake Bequette hasn’t shown much of anything. Give me Cunningham over him.
DT (3) Wilfork, Kelly, Forston – Don’t love Forston, but he’s all we got.
ILB(3) Spikes, Fletcher, Beauharnais – Fletcher could see significant snaps this year, he’s been really good in the games.
OLB(4) Mayo, Hightower, Collins, Rivera – Solid group, Rivera squeaks on.
CB (6) Talib, Arrington, Dennard, Ryan, Cole, Dowling – Dowling sticks just due to Dennard’s uncertain future and Ryan’s inexperience.
SS (2) Wilson, Wilson
FS (3) McCourty, Gregory, Harmon
ST (3) Gostkowski, Mesko, Aiken
PUP – Gronk, Armond Armstead.
Total players: 53
