The only real negative is his height, a shade under 5'10" it appears as he looked a good 2 inches shorter standing near Ridley.

Many of the early (Jan/Feb) mocks had Dennard as a late first but he dropped as the process moved towards. The draft. The arrest is the only reason he fell so far, and it's likely many teams thought they could get him as a UDFA's but Belichick saw the value and took the risk. Great move, looks to be panning out. They may well have the pieces for a really good secondary mostly in place, and Beilichick may finally have gotten his secondary picks right.
