"If the Patriots were chasing traits, like Prunty's 4.4 speed and plus length, why not target a younger prospect with similar accolades who was still on the board?"
"He was PFF's 24th-rated cover corner in coverage last year, and he has good size, so maybe there is some upside here, but it sure feels like he would've been available later."

Notable picks included additions to the defensive line and cornerback Karon Prunty.
