With McCourty, a healthy Dowling (hopefully) and Arrington, the Patriots have some talent there, and Sterling Moore will be better with more reps. I don’t see them spending big money on a cover corner. I don’t know if it’s worth it in today’s game. I think we’re in an era where the defense is just looking to “hang on” in the back end. I do think you need to affect the quarterback, and you have to do that with pass rushers. I don’t subscribe to the theory of affecting quarterbacks with coverage. That being said, I think the Patriots will definitely keep their options open at CB depending on the value available.
