I've tried to put likely Week 1 starter and anyone who ended last season on the roster first, then FA signings, then draftees, then the "Wait, Who's".
QB: Brissett, Zappe, Maye, Milton, Rourke.
Can Milton beat out Zappe? How soon until Maye starts?
RB: Stevenson, Gibson, Harris, Hasty, Vaughn
Not much depth there after the top 2. I imagine we will see some sort of FA signing here.
WR: Bourne, Douglas, Smith-Schuster, Thornton, Reagor, Boutte, Osborn, Polk, J Baker, K Baker, Luther
I was tempted to list Polk and J Baker as the starters with Bourne, but I think the competition in this room to start and to fill the roster will be interesting. I'm not sure if anyone other than Reagor has ST value.
TE: Henry, Hooper, Bell, Pettway, Wilcox
Any chance Milton ends up in this room?
OLine: Okorafor, Strange, D Andrews, Sow, Onwenu, Mafi, J Andrews, Anderson, Lowe,McDermott, Steuber, Wallace, Robinson, Jordan, Wheatley
That's a lot of bodies. Assuming D Andrews doesn't retire, and barring injury, the middle 3 spots are likely set. The big question is what will happen as the two tackle spots. Presumably Onwenu is RT, but could he move to LT and allow Wallace or Okorafor to handle RT?
DT/NG: Barmore, Godchaux, Roberts, Ekuale, Pharms, Hill, Watts
I wonder if the lack of any draft capital here means they feel good about the back half of this room.
Edge: Judon, Jennings, Wise, Uche, White, Bradley-King, Ximines
ILB: Bentley, Tavai, Takitaki, McMillan, Mapu, Elliss, Giles-Harris,
Will we ever see McMillan on the field in a meaningful game? Interesting that the patriots.com site lists Mapu as a LB.
CB: Gonzalez, J Jones, M Jones, Austin, Bolden, Wade, Wilson, Dial, Hearn
Presumably a lot of ST will come from this group, after the first three. Pats website lists Dial as DB, but I'm including here as that is how we was drafted.
S: Dugger, Peppers, Phillips, Bledsoe, Hawkins
Seems thin, but Mapu and Dial each could be listed here.
ST: Ryland, Baringer, Cardona, Schooler, Slye
Feels very sad not to be typing in Slater here. Interesting to note that other than Schooler, there don't seem to be any ST-only guys (STOOGES? STOGIES?) -- another notable change in roster management compared to the last 20 years.
EDIT: I added 3 players who I overlooked (2 OL and Peppers -- doh!)
EDIT 2: McDermott cut.
EDIT 3: Added Ximines
EDIT 4: Added Slye
