New England Patriots
Battles
#1: Defensive Backs. There's a lot of depth chart battling to be had at the 5th-8th spots and I'm mainly keeping an eye on UDFA J.C. Jackson who's been getting 1st Team reps and has been tearing it up. Eddie Pleasant's been a mainstay with the Houston Texans and Jonathan Jones has been a feature on ST too. This may be a make/break year for Cyrus Jones and he'll have competition with Duke Dawson, Jordan Richards, Keion Crossen, and Damarius Travis.
#2: Running Backs. The competition for the 3rd/4th RB roles will be fierce with Michel probably being a lead candidate but after him are Gillislee (who found himself in a doghouse last year), Jeremy Hill (over from Cincinnati), and Ralph Webb (UDFA with talent). Brandon Bolden as per usual may stick around due to his ST ability but that's something that I've been saying year after year for the past 2-3 years it seems.
#3: 3rd Tight End. It seems like it's mainly down to Jacob Hollister/Will Tye in this battle but Ryan Izzo was pretty solid out of Florida State and could work himself onto the PS.
