I don't think the Patriots value the CB position high enough to justify taking him that high.. That's evident by their letting Ty Law and Asante Samuel walk.. With the way the rules have changed to favor passing offense recently, it makes less sense to put a high value on a CB, and the Patriots use this philosophy.. Look who they have playing corner for them outside of Samuel.. Pretty much no names that they've coached up..

I think the Pats are going to try to move down, still get a quality player, and make up for the lost pick at the end of the first round..

The fact that DRC reports he had a great meeting with NE probably means thats not true. They don't pay FA's. Whats that got to do with drafting a CB? Alot of mocks and experts already speculate they'll take Mike Jenkins, and that was before the combine. And after 5-6 years they'll let him walk. He won't sign a 3 year contract like a 3rd round pick (like Samuel).
