29. Patriots (12-4) — Xavier Rhodes, CB, Florida State How many times can the Patriots draft a defensive back in the late first round/early second round? As many times as it takes for them to actually have a good secondary. Even if Talib is re-signed, which is obviously a big question mark, the Pats still have a ways to go when it comes to building a stable defensive backfield.

patriots – Free agent snapshot: Desmond Bryant – WEEI | Christopher Price

One of my favorite FAs…

He’s a relatively young, smart guy who is versatile – his size would allow him to fill multiple spots in New England’s defensive front. This is a guy who filled in for Richard Seymour, who was able to play multiple spots along New England’s defensive front in his eight seasons with the Patriots. While you’re not going to be getting a 27-year-old Seymour, you might not be too far off with someone like Bryant. While he is expected to draw some interest around the league, he isn’t necessarily on everyone’s radar screen. And the Patriots should also be able to offer him a relatively cap-friendly contract that’s comparable to Oakland, but far better working conditions.
