NFL Draft 2011: Who is Bill Belichick Eyeing for New England at Miami's Pro Day?

The University of Miami held their Pro Day today, and New England Patriots head coach Bill Belichick was among the attendees. Other notable NFL coaches present were Pittsburgh's Mike Tomlin and Jacksonville's Jack Del Rio.

Earlier this week, Belichick was present at the Boston Red Sox's spring training facility in Ft. Myers, so it's only practical he would stop by Miami's Pro Day. 

Out of Miami's future draftees, which players could New England possibly target?

Here is an in-depth look at the 'Canes' prospects from a Patriot's point of view.

CB Brandon Harris

Cornerback Brandon Harris might be a somewhat of a reach for New England, considering he's projected to go in the mid-first round. 

However, Harris could be a nice fit, adding to New England's cornerbacks led by Devin McCourty.

Harris doesn't have elite speed or top-tier tackling skills, but he is a nice cover corner. He does present a nice burst off the snap of the ball and can determine if it's a pass or run fairly quickly.

Defensive lineman Allen Bailey is projected as an early second-round pick. New England currently sits at the very valuable 33rd overall, so they will have all Thursday night going into Friday to ponder which player they'd like to select.

Bailey offers great speed at the defensive lineman position and has above average pass-rushing skills. In his final two years at the U, he recorded 14 sacks, seven each in 2009 and 2010.

This could be one of Belichick's diamonds in the rough, and there's a good chance Bailey will be selected by New England in the second round.

ESPN draft analysts have Miami's wide receiver Leonard Hankerson as the third-best receiver in this draft class. Hankerson is currently projected to go in the late first-round to early second-round and could be on New England's radar. 

Hankerson offers nice speed at the receiver position and a nice athletic frame, standing in at 6'3". New England already has three young receivers in Julian Edelman, Brandon Tate and Taylor Price, but, Hankerson would definitely be a steal if New England could grab him at 33rd overall.

OL Orlando Franklin

There is some uncertainty on the left side of the line for New England with Matt Light's and Logan Mankins' futures unclear.  Belichick will look toward the draft to address those needs. 

Orlando Franklin is a quality offensive tackle who has lined up at left tackle in his career at Miami. 

Franklin can go anywhere from the second round all the way to the fourth round. He doesn't have great speed, but does offer nice power and strength. 

It's unclear if Franklin will play guard or tackle in the NFL, but he's got the size, standing in at 6'7" and weighing in at 312 pounds.
