From Reiss:
It seems like we're leaving no stone unturned at the CB position. So far, 5 CBs have been scheduled for visits, with many others having either worked out and/or interviewed. To date, the Pats have shown interest in 16 CBs.
Also, I'm glad Flowers and Godfrey are visiting. Flowers seems to be more NFL-ready, but Godfrey has a lot of physical ability.
---The Patriots have arranged predraft visits with cornerbacks Brandon Flowers, Charles Godfrey, and Terrell Thomas at Gillette Stadium, according to representatives for the players.
All three are projected as early-round selections, although the first round - especially at the Patriots' No. 7 pick - is considered a bit rich to select them.
Flowers, who played at Virginia Tech, enters the draft after his junior season. At 5-10, 189, he might be a bit shorter than scouts traditionally desire, but reports indicate he plays with a physical edge.
Godfrey (6-0, 207) played at Iowa under Bill Belichick disciple Kirk Ferentz and has the ideal measurables and style of play for teams seeking a sturdy presence at corner. He's considered strong in run support and also has experience at safety.
The 6-1, 202-pound Thomas began his college career at USC playing safety, and is touted on some reports as a top lockdown corner who is defined by a physical style.
