Last month, I broke down all 21 defensive backs that the Patriots have drafted in my Drafting Defensive Backs: A Patriots Case Study post. The results were a little surprising: Bill Belichick has some Al Davis in him.
Now that the combine is over, we have a better idea of which defensive backs in this draft class may fit those standards, which seem to rely strongly on workout numbers.
In today’s post I’ll break down those players to see who may be the best fit in New England, and who the Pats might not even bother looking at.
The NFL Combine is over and we now have two months to wait until the actual draft. Free agency starts March 13th and everyhing will likely change after that, with teams filling some of their biggest needs.
The 2012 NFL Combine has come to a close and that means one thing, we have eight weeks to sit and wait for the most anticipated three day event of the year.
It’s a long two months to wait, but it also gives us plenty of time to review the tape, reorder our rankings and be fully prepared for anything that may be thrown at us in April. There was plenty of movement over the last week due to the Combine and I’m going to go position by position to tell you who made out best in Indianapolis.
Mike and Doug wrap up the first five days at the NFL Combine.
Tonight on NEPD Radio, NEPD Editors Doug Kyed and Mike Loyko recapped the last two days of the combine and were joined by Rotoworld Draft analyst Josh Norris to discuss running backs, wide receivers, defensive line and linebackers.
We’ll be back tomorrow night recapping the defensive backs’ day to shine to at the NFL Combine.

Today in Indianapolis we saw the offensive skill position players hit the field. The WRs, QBs, and RBs all took part in position and agility drills. In this wrap-up I break down all the happenings of Day Four and who impressed the scouts today.
How have the quarterbacks looked so far at the NFL Combine?
NEPD Editor: Doug Kyed
Top quarterbacks Andrew Luck and Robert Griffin III… won’t throw.
And neither will Brock Osweiler or Ryan Tannehill. But most of those guys will run and go through the workouts, so lets see how they looked checking in to the combine:
