DES MOINES — Super Bowl champion New England took ISU defensive back Ellis Hobbs in the third round of the NFL Draft on Saturday. Hobbs was the 84th player chosen.

Hobbs, who led Iowa State with five interceptions last season, is getting a chance to join the most successful franchise in the NFL — winner of the last two Super Bowls and three of the last four. The Patriots were in the market for a cornerback after releasing 10-year veteran Ty Law in February.

New England didn’t have a second-round pick so Hobbs was the team’s second selection in the draft. The Patriots took offensive guard Logan Makins of Fresno State in the first round.

Six hours into the NFL draft, Matt Roth’s first-round dreams finally were shattered.

The Iowa defensive end had to wait until the second round Saturday before he was picked by the Miami Dolphins as the No. 46 selection overall. He was the first player taken from an Iowa school.

Iowa defensive tackle Jonathan Babineaux also was chosen in the second round, going to Atlanta as the 59th pick overall.

Some analysts had projected Roth as a first-round pick, but the six-hour round passed without his name being called. Four other defensive ends were taken in the first round — Demarcus Ware of Troy, Davis Pollack of Georgia, Erasmus James of Wisconsin and Marcus Spears of LSU.

“I’m not disappointed at all,” Roth said. “I’m just glad to be on a team, to be on a team that wants me and to get back to work.”

Miami is coached by Nick Saban, who was the LSU coach when Roth and the Hawkeyes beat the Tigers in the Capital One Bowl on New Year’s Day. Roth said they didn’t talk about that game when Saban called him.

“He didn’t explain much,” Roth said. “He just said they were looking forward to getting me in camp, getting me down there in Miami and start going to work.”

Miami obtained the pick it used for Roth by trading cornerback Patrick Surtain and its fifth-round pick to the Kansas City Chiefs. It’s the highest the Dolphins have taken a defensive lineman since they grabbed Baylor’s Daryl Gardener in the first round in 1996.

The Dolphins are loaded at defensive end, including Pro Bowl pick Jason Taylor. Roth, though, said he wasn’t thinking about the competition.

“I’m just looking forward to getting down there and start working,” he said. “What I contribute, how I contribute, I’m not really worried about that right now. I’m just looking forward to learning all I can.”

Roth falling to the second round ended Iowa’s streak of first-round picks at two. Offensive tackle Robert Gallery went to the Oakland Raiders as the No. 2 pick overall in last year’s draft and tight end Dallas Clark was the Indianapolis Colts’ first-round pick in 2003.

“I actually thought he could be a late first-round pick,” ESPN analyst Mel Kiper said of Roth.

Kiper said Miami made a good pick with the 6-foot-3, 272-pounder, an excellent pass rusher who’s known for his intensity and toughness,

“They get a guy who can immediately come in and help them,” Kiper said.

Roth finished his career with 30 sacks, the most in the Big Ten the last three seasons. He had eight sacks and eight quarterback hurries last season.

“I like to hit,” he said. “Anything doing with hitting — linemen, running backs or quarterbacks. I just love the game.”

Babineaux, a 6-2, 281-pounder, impressed scouts with his quickness and strength. He led the Hawkeyes and the Big Ten with 11 sacks last season, had 25 total tackles for a loss and recovered three fumbles.

News of his selection came while he was surrounded by family members and friends at his home in Port Arthur, Texas. It was greeted by a loud roar.

“I couldn’t even hear myself think,” Babineaux said.

By drafting Babineaux, Atlanta added to its depth in the defensive line — an area the team was looking to address after falling one game short of the Super Bowl last season.

“I think I will be a good addition to their defense,” he said. “I’m pretty sure they’re going to be as excited to have me as much as I’m excited to be there. Hopefully I’ll be the missing piece to winning the Super Bowl.”
