Mel Kiper Has Leonard Hankerson going to the Patriots

At No. 28 in the first round, Kiper has the Patriots selecting Miami receiver Leonard Hankerson.

"The Patriots have the underneath options, but could use a threat that can stretch defenses and cause matchup problems against smaller corners, and Hankerson provides that," Kiper writes.

The Hankerson pick is interesting, as the Patriots’ need at receiver was highlighted in the playoff loss. The thought is that the Pats need speed, and Hankerson had a fourth-best 4.43 40-yard-dash at the Combine.
