New England Patriots

Perfect draft pair: Tennessee CB Cam Sutton (Round 3, pick 72); Villanova DE Tanoh Kpassagnon (Round 3, pick 96)

Brooks on Sutton: I love Sutton's versatility. We saw him play corner, nickel and safety at the Senior Bowl. Bill Belichick asks his players to play a lot of different roles, and their roles might change on a weekly basis. Sutton has the ability to fulfill those duties.

Jeremiah on Kpassagnon: Kpassagnon is a physical specimen. He's a tall, muscled-up athlete. He's raw, but once he figures things out, he could be a dominant defensive lineman.
