Good stuff on 1st Round Pick Dont’a Hightower and 3rd Round Pick Jake Bequette.

The Pats haven’t signed many UDFAs so far, but here’s one guy who could be interesting. Sounds like he has a lot of raw potential and could really be an impact player if he’s willing to work. I can tell you this, he’ll either be willing to work or he won’t make the Patriots team.

Stays coordinated through contact and can anchor well in the run game, generating power from his lower half. Quick-footed pass rusher with loose hips and good change of direction skills, moving very well for his size. Natural bender with a quick first step and the fluid movement skills to burst in any direction – smooth lateral range. Was productive when on the field, tallying 17.5 tackles for loss over his career.

He isn’t a technically sound player and lacks team discipline with little gap integrity. The game comes easy to him and there are questions about whether he will put the work in to improve. Forston has impressive movement skills for a player with his size and strength, but he isn’t yet a finished product – raw ability isn’t the concern with him, but he will be drafted based on potential.
