Patriots 53-man roster prediction with depth chart after 2024 minicamp
The Patriots 2024 OTAs and minicamp are over, and training camp is now on the horizon with so much to look forward to after all the changes the team has undergone this offseason.
We got a glimpse at how the team might look during spring practices, heightening excitement for the newer players especially, but there are still a lot of questions to be answered over the next few months.
Perhaps the most crucial question is who will make up the team's 53-man roster for the 2024 season. It's still a bit early to draw conclusions about any player, but there are plenty who are likely roster locks and some who, if they continue to stand out this summer, will surely have a spot on the team.
There is still plenty of time for a player's fate to change, which would then alter any roster predictions. But until we get some more clarity from their performance during training camp and preseason, here is another early roster projection for the season ahead.
