According to multiple reports, Patriots VP Nick Caserio and head coach Bill Belichick were wining and dining Tim Tebow, with the Florida QB spending almost two days in the area.

If the Patriots aren’t actually interested in drafting Tebow, they are doing a masterful job of pretending that they are. It is still unclear whether Belichick would be grooming Tebow to replace Tom Brady, or if Bill has alternative plans for Urban Meyer’s boy.

Tennessee defensive lineman Dan Williams will make a visit to Foxboro sometime next week, according to Albert Breer. Volunteer teammate Montario Hardesty will also make a visit.

Williams projects to the 3-4 nose tackle position, although he occasionally gets pushed back by double teams. At 6-3/327, Williams possesses great athleticism, running a 5.1 forty and showing off a 32″ vertical.

Williams would either provide a backup to Patriot veteran Vince Wilfork, or let Wilfork shift outside to the 5-technique.

UPDATE: According to Mike Reiss of ESPN Boston, no visit has been scheduled.

North Carolina nose tackle Cam Thomas will make an official visit to the Patriots facilities sometime in the next few days.

Thomas is a 6-4/330 brute that could easily play the nose or the 5-technique in a 3-4, giving the Patriots a run-stopping force. His motor doesn’t run too long, so he would have to be subbed off in obvious passing downs.

If the Patriots aren’t too enamored with now 2nd-year player Ron Brace, look for Cam Thomas to get a serious look on NFL Draft day.
