Many are capable of playing inside and outside in New England’s offense, much like Julian Edelman has done in recent years. But any one of these players could become Edelman’s replacement.

Deebo Samuel, WR, South Carolina: He has drawn praise for his silky route-running and physicality. Both qualities combine in ways that get Samuel open often.

But the Patriots could make his slippery speed work inside.
