Patriots position groups, ranked from best to worst after roster cuts

The first stages of the New England Patriots’ roster rebuild are complete. While plenty of future work remains, New England has their 53-man roster they will likely enter Week 1 of the NFL season with.

They will benefit from the addition of Jaylinn Hawkins, who gives the group a rotational free safety that can free up Dugger and Peppers to play closer to the line of scrimmage at times.
