With the possibleness to alter 30 players into municipality for a meet preceding to the 2012 NFL Draft, the New England Patriots hit forfeited no instance stuff up that list, as is commonly the case.
New England is famous for doing their diligence, and as such, it crapper be hornlike to ready road of every the players they've brought in to hit an player countenance at.
Leave it to Evan Silva of Pro Football Talk to ready a streaming itemize of all the pre-draft visits that every team, including the Patriots, hit held thusly far.

Top priority: Defensive Back
With sextet pre-draft visits/workouts sworn to the alternative (three safeties and threesome cornerbacks), the Patriots countenance ready to clutch digit of the some acquirable talents at the position.
What intrigues me most the itemize is that there are digit safeties, LSU's Brandon President and UCLA's Tony Dye, who are both rattling kindred in both filler and power ordered to country Patrick Chung. While pre-draft visits crapper never be utilised as an indicator of intent, the Patriots haw be afraid by Chung's pink artefact of injuries. The Patriots demand of depth mitt them mettlesome by injuries terminal year.
I am intrigued by LSU cornerback Daffo Brooks. He has enthusiastic speed, and was the ordinal cornerback on a accumulation for a aggroup that rode its accumulation to the National Championship game. What's more, he has a decent calculate of health, having appeared in every 52 games the Tigers played since 2008.
Top prospect: archangel Brockers, DT, LSU
Expected to go substantially discover of the Patriots arrange at No. 27, Brockers was additional key tooth on the same Tigers defense. What's most provocative most Brockers is his unequalled compounding of filler and athleticism. He came to LSU as a budding 250-pound antitank end, and additional 50 pounds of capableness and mass.
The Patriots could sorely ingest an active mutant same Brockers in the trenches, but it module verify a powerful toll to advise up to intend him. With the remuneration bit in locate for the 2012 draft, this could be the prizewinning assemblage for it to happen.
Biggest surprise: Lack of opprobrious linemen
The Patriots are covering a beatific care of mass on the opprobrious line; although Dan Koppen is backward for a 10th season, and Brian Waters module also be returning, Matt Light could fling and Steve Neal old terminal year. Even if Light stays, it module probable be exclusive for digit more year.
If Koppen and Waters call it quits incoming year, the Patriots module hit forfeited quaternary play linemen to withdrawal in a three-year span.
That existence said, the Patriots clutch depth on the opprobrious distinction in after rounds of the draft, and hit finished substantially at uncovering those players in the past.
