Christian Gonzalez is at the very least a top three player at the position, whose efforts single-handedly kept the team in the Super Bowl for as long as it was, while Carlton Davis and Marcus Jones are experienced and high-quality pieces on the perimeter and in the slot, respectively.

The problem for the Patriots at this point in time is that the depth behind the trio is lacking. Sure, you have numbers — those numbers are one times five, to be exact — but some developmental youth and possible starter upside is needed. New England is unlikely to address that issue early in the draft, but there are some intriguing later-round options to consider.

One of them is Washington’s Tacario Davis. Hard facts Name: Tacario Davis Position: Cornerback School: Washington (Sr. ) Opening day age: 22 (8/17/2004) Measurements : 6’3 7/8”, 194 lbs, 33 3/8” arm length, 9 1/4” hand size, 4.
