This screams that Hightower is moving to Mike in a 43 defense. Ayers is a ridiculously explosive player off the edge and pretty good at disengaging blocks. He'd been a highly productive player for them before the scheme change.
it not like bb to trade at this time of year, so he must think this kid can play.
I'll update my post to reflect the cost... IMO it was almost nothing to pay when you think about it:
1. The Patriots would have been picking at the lower part of the 6th round.
2. The Titans would have been picking at the upper part of the 7th round.
3. Therefore, I doubt this results in a drop of more than like 15 overall for the Pats.
I'm pretty OK with picking up some potentially good LB depth for a probably-less-than-half-a-round drop at the very end of the draft.

#Patriots get Ayers and a 7th Round Pick (which they didn't have) give up a 6th Rounder.
