The dust has long been settled since the start of New England Patriots free agency, but there are still some deals to be made out there. For the most part, it looks like the Patriots have made their plays in free agency and will bide their time until the draft, but it’s always fun to ponder about remaining free agents.

Here are six guys that could be on the Patriots’ radar:

6. Jerraud Powers

You just can’t have enough good corners in the league, and Powers has the ability to play in the slot and outside. Powers represented the Arizona Cardinals in our pre-free agency listing of a dream signing from each team:

"Powers tops the list of Cardinals’ free agents who would be an ideal fit in Patriots free agency. He is an excellent slot corner at the prime of his career. 2015 saw Powers record 52 tackles, two fumble recoveries, a sack (always impressive for a cornerback), and a defensive touchdown. Although many Cardinals fans were concerned when Antonio Cromartie departed last offseason, Powers excelled in a starting role and put those worries to rest."
