Chandler Jones drafted 21st by the New England Patriots in the 2012 NFL Draft (by RealTLV)
As far as Mayock is concerned, New England did itself a huge favor in trading up twice to land impact defensive players Chandler Jones and Dont’a Hightower. “Bill Belichick’s M.O. is to trade down,” Mayock said. “However, I believe Bill knows a thoroughbred when he sees one. He knows that defense is what they lacked in last year. So all of a sudden, they get one of the best linebackers in this draft to go with one of the best pass rushers.”

Patriots CB/S No. 3 Tavon Wilson vs Michigan 2011 (by mathew40)
He plays more outside in this one, with some safety. I still think that his best area is in the slot, covering short routes and blitzing.
He’s serviceable outside, but does get beat for a big pass.
Good tackler.

When you had your workout, what did they try to stress to you in terms of what they might be asking of you? Was it that you’ll be standing up a lot, you’ll be going forward? “It was actually quite a bit of both. They wanted to see, first of all, my pass rushing ability, my ‘get off’ out of my three-point stance, but also quite a bit of two-point work, working out in coverage, covering the spot drops and doing everything with the linebacker aspect as well.”

Patriots select Jake Bequette (Arkansas) in the third round.
Hard to complain the positions they are addressing on defense in this draft. The young Patriots defense is only adding more talent, and clearly they have getting after the quarterback in mind with their focus.

A relentless rusher with a competitive attitude and drive that are top-shelf – overachiever and rushes like every play is his last.

We saw enough of Braylon burning Butler in 2010 didn’t we? Especially this one in the playoffs that was a big 3rd down conversion off a broken play where the pressure actually got to Sancheese. Sounds like Butler was working a lot in the slot at the BC session. Beating out Wilhite for nickel/dime might […]
