Patriots 53-man roster projection: Roster spots starting to become more clear

FOXBORO -- Bill Belichick will tell you. His players will tell you. His assistants will tell you. There’s a long way to go before any of this matters. Long way.

At the same time, we’ve now seen several spring practices, about two weeks of training camp and, on Friday, a half-speed scrimmage featuring projected first-teamers versus backups.

Long way. Got it.

But with a weekend devoid of media availability at One Patriot Place, this seems like a good time to take a breath and try to figure out how this roster will be constructed once the games actually matter.
