Rodgers-Cromartie...4.28 40 yard dash' (merged)

I read somewhere that the Pats don't value DB's or CB's (forgot where though) that high...and also let's not forget that they LOVE to trade down.

They are probably looking at a DE/OLB (Gholston, Harvey etc).

Well I don't imagine they're going to let Samuel walk because he's too expensive...only to turn around and hand a rookie CB a $20 million dollar signing bonus. I would imagine the Patriots priority list looks like this

Chris Long/Vernon Ghoulston
Darren McFadden
maybe Jake Long
Trade-out of the pick

I just can't see them spending #7 overall money on anyone else there.
