After picking up 16 rookies in the 2015 NFL Draft, the Patriots are going to have some stiff competition to make their 53-man roster.
Here is my initial projection.
Quarterback (2): Tom Brady, Jimmy Garoppolo
That was easy.
Running Back (5*): Jonas Gray, Brandon Bolden, James White, Tyler Gaffney, James Develin, LeGarrette Blount* (Suspended Game 1)
With Blount suspended for game one, it remains to be seen who will get the lion’s share of the carries.
Wide Receiver (6): Brandon LaFell, Julian Edelman, Danny Amendola, Aaron Dobson, Brian Tyms, Matthew Slater
The competition for the fourth and fifth spots between Dobson, Tyms and Josh Boyce will be fierce.
