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.

On Tavon Wilson. ”He was a pretty good leader for the team when they had injury problems. He moved to safety seemlessly. I think he’s going to be good for the secondary out there, I really do. I think he has a lot of potential. His best football is ahead of him. I always thought his best work would be at corner, but then when I saw him at safety, he takes really good angles. He breaks up a lot of passes, I’d just like to see him finish on the ball a little better. The one thing I really like about him, he’s got really good movement skills. He bends well, he can play a lot of different positions. He’s a very mature kid who could start year one.”

16 (48) New England Patriots (from Oakland): FS Tavon Wilson, Illinois A surprise second-round selection after the safety board was wiped clean, Wilson has corner-safety versatility and the type of intangibles to lead in the secondary. He has overcome a lot of adversity in his life and has the mental and physical toughness desired on the back end. He has outstanding size for the cornerback position, plays the ball well in front of him and could prove to be best as a press cornerback in the Patriots defense.

21 New England Patriots (from Cincinnati): DE Chandler Jones, Syracuse The Patriots sorely needed to add some pressure players, and Bill Belichick shrewdly dealt up to land a raw condor with rare length and explosive body power. Jones is very tough, humble and hardworking and once he develops his core strength and learns how to harness his raw power, he could emerge as a special talent at any position along the defensive line.
25 (25) New England Patriots (from Denver): LB Dont’a Hightower, Alabama
After aggressively dealing up to land Chandler Jones, Belichick jumped up two spots again to leapfrog the Texans and find another versatile, mismatch piece with wrecking-ball power. The two-time team captain can pair with Jerod Mayo to fortify the inside of the Patriots’ defense. Having proven capable of rushing off the edge, Hightower can give the Patriots the ability to disguise their front and catch offenses off guard.
