"Patriots' Draft Strategy: Cornerbacks, Trade Downs, and Targeted Picks"

The New England Patriots have a talented group of cornerbacks, but lack height. Luckily, this year's cornerback class is deep with talented cornerbacks who succeed along the boundary. If the Patriots choose to go cornerback with their 14th overall selection, it likely will come down to Oregon’s Christian Gonzalez, Penn State’s Joey Porter Jr., or Illinois’ Devon Witherspoon. The Patriots have also met with several other cornerbacks throughout the pre-draft process.
