Patriots: Patriots looking at DB for the Draft The News With Asante Samuel now wearing a jersey in Philly and a noteworthy lack of proven ability in the defensive back corps, the New England Patriots are asking all of the top DB prospects in this years draft to come to New England for interviews and visits, according to NFL.com. Our View Adam Schefter reports Antoine Cason, one of the top cornerbacks in this year's NFL Draft out of the University of Arizona, was in New England on Monday while Dominique Rodgers-Cromartie, a Tennessee State cornerback regarded as one of the most coveted defensive gems in the draft, was scheduled to visit with team officials today. On Sunday, April 13, Kansas CB Aqib Talib will come to New England for two days, followed by a visit from Troy CB Leodis McKelvin. Schefter also notes the Pats have visited with USC linebacker Keith Rivers and LSU defensive tackle Glenn Dorsey is scheduled to visit later this week, so it's not all about the defensive backfield… but it is all about defense. 04/08 Vikings: Frerotte officially joins the Vikings http://www.fanballnews.com/nfl/
NFL Network's Adam Schefter reports that the Patriots will host CBs Leodis McKelvin, Antoine Cason, Dominque Rodgers-Cromartie, and Aquib Talib this week. Keith Rivers and Glenn Dorsey are also visiting Foxborough as the Pats' visits have a decididly defensive feel. Still we wouldn't rule out the Patriots beefing up their lines. Sedrick Ellis and Branden Albert are two popular possibilties. http://rotoworld.com/content/home_NFL.aspx
I dont understand the possible pick of Sedrick Ellis. They run a 34 but have a NT in Wilfork. Can someone fill me in on why they would possibly select Ellis?
