Tavon Wilson/National Football Post Scouting... →
Well it isn’t pretty but here’s National Football Post’s scouting report on Tavon Wilson. A thickly put together safety prospect with a compact frame and natural girth through the mid section. However, looks heavy-footed when trying to re-direct and isn’t real sudden/explosive in space. Tries to sit into his drop off the line and does a decent job keeping his base down...

Patriots draft Illinois safety Tavon Wilson (?) in...
It happens every year. The Patriots draft a guy that not even Greg Cosell knows who he is. This year’s edition is Illinois safety Tavon Wilson who seems to have zero scouting information on him available on the internet, except that he’s 6-00, 205 and ran a 4.52 40-yard dash. Oh and here’s a picture of him pumping a fist. Looks pretty awesome, huh? So stay tuned,...

Patriots draft day two thoughts
Although the Pats had a universally-praised day one of draft picks there’s still work to be done today and tomorrow. While they only have two second-round picks remaining in the draft, I expect they’ll try to work the trade downs as much as possible to pick up some additional selections. I wouldn’t rule out a potential Brian Hoyer trade as to add some picks as well. What...

Dont'a Hightower Draft Profile – NFL.com →
Strengths Hightower is lengthy and imposing in the middle of a defense. He has long arms that he uses effectively to fight off blockers, dip and push to avoid trash at his feet, and keep balls close to him. He is not the most athletic player in space, but he uses his arms to tie up receivers within his zone and fight tight ends off the ball. He is technically sound, although his style of play...

Chandler Jones Draft Profile – NFL.com →
Strengths: Jones is undersized but has the tools to stay on the line at the next level and work mostly out of a 5-technique position, as he excels at working in short areas and being a scrappy, active player in the box. He has a good wingspan and is a long strider, which gives him great range to run down outside runs. He uses his arms well to keep linemen at bay, and he displays good technique...
