Then it’s time for The One Question: Who makes the Patriots’ 53-man roster?

Training camp is over. The preseason is over. Theevaluations are essentially complete. And by Sunday night, we’ll know theanswer.

Before the Patriots make it official, we’re goingposition by position and giving you our final projected 53. We’ll break downwho we believe has done enough to make the team, the toughest decisions at thebottom of the roster, the hardest players to leave off, where special-teamsvalue could decide a job, and which positions could still change if New Englandadds somebody after cuts around the NFL.

This isn’t about projecting three weeks into the futureanymore. This is our final roster prediction with the deadline right around thecorner.
