Patriots 53-man roster projections after Week 1 of preseason

Patriots 53-man roster projections after the first full week of preseason football.

We have officially reached the point of the preseason where NFL rosters will begin to dwindle. As of August 16th, teams will need to get their roster down to 85 players. However, by the end of the month, on August 30th, the league rosters will take their final form.

So I am going to do what any sane football fanatic does: try to predict what Bill Belichick is thinking in his final roster, including what the depth chart could look like.

Keep in mind, all of these are barring any injuries or unforeseen events like suspensions or retirements, but I will be including trades as part of this roster construction.
