2006 Pats Roster Projection
Offense Starters
QB - Brady
RB - Dillon
WR - Branch, TBD
TE - Graham, Watson
LT - Light
LG - Mankins
OC - TBD
RG - TBD
RT - Kaczur
Re-signing Givens, Koppen and Neal should be a priority.
Defense Starters
NT - Wilfork
DE - Warren, Seymour
OLB - McGinest, Colvin
ILB - Bruschi, Vrabel
CB - Samuel, Hobbs
S - Harrison, Wilson
The entire starting unit is under contract. Only question is Harrison's injury.
Special Teams
K - TBD
P - Miller
LS - Paxton
PR - TBD
KR - Hobbs, Johnson
Vinatieri needs a long term deal, but what about the cap implications? Dwight has been great at PR and good at WR-- I'd love to see him back in 2006. Bethel hasn't turned the corner as a WR, and IMO that puts him at risk for a roster spot in 2006.
Depth
QB - Cassel, TBD
RB - Faulk, Pass, TBD
WR - TBD, TBD, Sam, TBD
TE - TBD
OT - Gorin, TBD
OG - Hochstein
NT - Wright
DE - Green, Hill, Klecko
OLB - Banta-Cain TBD
ILB - Brown, Beisel, Claridge, Izzo
CB - Poole, TBD,
S - TBD, TBD, Sanders
underline - under contract, but at roster risk
Lots of free agents, but not too many urgent situations.
Offensive depth: Flutie should reture. Evans would be a good minimum $ veteran re-signing. Troy, Bam, Davis and Dwight dont have contracts. I expect to see at least three of them back next year. Ashworth should be back. Will Fauria retire? Early draft picks at WR a possibility
Defensive depth: Depth and age at LB and SS are a concern. I expect BB/SP to draft elite long-term solutions, particularly at LB. In the secondary, my priority would be to re-sign Gay, Scott, Scott, Hawkins and add a 3rd round rookie.

10. Starting KR (Dwight or draft)
11. Young depth at SS (G. Scott)
12. Veteran depth at CB (C. Scott or free agency)
