It was only a matter of time before Bill Belichick took a questionable-character guy in efforts to reform him to the “Patriot Way,” and mid-seventh round, with the selection of Nebraska corner Alfonzo Dennard, it finally happened. Dennard spent some time in jail before the draft after allegedly punching a police officer. Once touted as a possible Day 2 selection, he’s fallen far enough for the Patriots to feel the risk is low enough.
