Patriots 53-man roster projection: Why WR is the toughest position to predict this summer

New York Times  

Offensive coordinator Alex Van Pelt said the New England Patriots got what they needed from the spring practices. But those spring practices also offered a first glimpse at how the depth chart might look, even if head coach Jerod Mayo insisted there’s no such thing this early in the process. Mayo said he’s fine bringing four quarterbacks to training camp, but it might be hard for the Pats to get Milton onto the practice squad, so Zappe is probably the odd man out. Offensive line In: Chukwuma Okorafor, Cole Strange, David Andrews, Sidy Sow, Mike Onwenu, Caedan Wallace, Layden Robinson, Calvin Anderson, Atonio Mafi Out: Michael Jordan, Jake Andrews, Vederian Lowe, Tyrone Wheatley, Nick Leverett, Zuri Henry, Charles Turner, Ryan Johnson Strange’s injury could mean the Patriots will carry an extra interior lineman — either Jordan or Jake Andrews.
