Second Round, 48th Overall: Tavon Wilson, S, Illinois

Third Round, 90th overall: Jake Bequette, DE, Arkansas
The 6-foot-5, 271-pound Bequette racked up 10 sacks in 10 games last year, and he provides the size and skill that Belichick loves on his D line. (Photo by Wesley Hitt/Getty Images)
Sixth Round, 197th Overall: Nate Ebner, DB, Ohio State
Ebner is a former rugby player who walked on at Ohio State. He contributed mostly as a special teamer, but his work ethic and athleticism should find him a place on the Patriots. (Photo by Jamie Sabau/Getty Images)
Dennard was arrested a week before the Draft for allegedly assaulting a police officer, which resulted in a top-round talent sliding down the draft board. Provided he behaves, he could be a seventh-round steal for New England. (Photo by Eric Francis/Getty Images)

In his last two seasons at Northwestern, Ebert averaged 68.5 catches, 1,006.5 yards and 9.5 touchdowns. (Photo by Al Messerschmidt/Getty Images)
