…to me.

See what I did there by sucking you in with that awesome headline!

Seems everyone is doing a Patriots roster projection these days. Most people are doing multiple versions of roster projects – heck, our friends over at ESPNBoston.com do multiple versions of a triple-threat dueling roster projection.

And while I did my own projection heading into camp, I figured the time between the second and third preseason game might be the best spot to update my predictions based on what's transpired in the last few weeks.

So, here is the only Patriots 53-man roster projection that really matters (to me)!

Quarterback (3): Tom Brady, Brian Hoyer and Ryan Mallett

Running back (5): Stevan Ridley, Shane Vereen, Danny Woodhead, Eric Kettani, Jeff Demps

Tight end (3): Rob Gronkowski, Aaron Hernandez, Daniel Fells

Wide receiver (7): Wes Welker, Brandon Lloyd, Deion Branch, Jabar Gaffney, Donte' Stallworth, Julian Edelman, Matthew Slater

Offensive line (8): Nate Solder, Logan Mankins, Dan Connolly, Sebastian Vollmer, Marcus Cannon, Nick McDonald, Ryan Wendell, Donald Thomas

Defensive line (10): Rob Ninkovich, Kyle Love, Vince Wilfork, Chandler Jones, Jake Bequette, Brandon Deaderick, Justin Francis, Ron Brace, Jermaine Cunningham, Trevor Scott

Linebacker (5): Jerod Mayo, Brandon Spikes, Dont'a Hightower, Bobby Carpenter, Jeff Tarpinian

Safety (4): Patrick Chung, Steve Gregory, Tavon Wilson, Nate Ebner

Cornerback (5): Devin McCourty, Kyle Arrington, Ras-I Dowling, Sterling Moore, Alfonzo Dennard

Specialists (3): Stephen Gostkowski, Zoltan Mesko, Danny Aiken

There were some decisions to be made this time around. Obviously keeping seven wide receivers, five running backs and three tight ends limits some things elsewhere. Trevor Scott was actually the last guy to make my roster, as guys like Dan Koppen, Josh Barrett and Tracy White didn't make the cut. And Brian Waters isn't in the mix, although he'd just replace one of the guards – like Donald Thomas, Nick McDonald or Ryan Wendell – if he did report to the team at some point. I'll be honest, I'd probably cut Donte' Stallworth, but this projection is based on my belief that the team wants to keep him and the rest of the veteran pass catchers. You could also swap in Spencer Larsen for Eric Kettani, now that the former is back on the field and has a chance to actually compete for a job.
