Tackle (4): Keavon Milton, Cameron Fleming, LaAdrian Waddle, Marcus Cannon

Guard (4): Chris Barker, Jon Halapio, Ted Karras, Tre’ Jackson

Center (1): Bryan Stork

Cut: Nate Solder, Sebastian Vollmer, David Andrews, Joe Thuney, Shaq Mason, Josh Kline, Jonathan Cooper

Oh man. What a nightmare this would be.

Milton and Fleming manning the two tackle spots is enough to make a Patriots fan want to stop eating for several days. Or would you want Waddle and Cannon to assume those vital roles? A tough decision that luckily the Patriots do not have to make this summer since this exercise is just for fun.

At guard, Halapio, a 2014 draft pick, would join Barker (who shares Tom Brady’s birthday), 2016 draft pick Karras and oft-injured Jackson on the inside. Instead of going with promising sophomore pro Andrews, the Patriots would take oft-concussed Stork at center.

Doing so would sabotage a rising group of offensive lineman that will make the roster in reality: Solder, Vollmer, Thuney, Mason, Kline, Cooper and Andrews.
