2011 NFL Draft: Patriots Hosting Visits With QB Ryan Mallett, RB Mark Ingram

Each player is an interesting fit with the Patriots.

Mallett could be a first or second round pick and the Patriots aren’t believed to be interested in quarterback that early, although no one really knows. Mallett is a polarizing figure because he has reportedly admitted to GMs his drug use in the past, and has rumors of drug use attached to him.

They could also be looking to trade. Bill Belichick said this week that they’ve been contacted by multiple teams talking about the possibility of trading up or down.

Belichick trades more than just about any other coach in the game so you can expect some action on those picks. Considering the depth of their team, it’s pretty incredible that they’re sitting in such a great position in the draft.
