For those who didn't watch any of these before the draft.... just to give you an idea of what these players are like.
Both are smart, high character guys. Both have ideal size weighing in at about 265lbs each.
Both are OLB's in a 34 front... In a 43, Jones is a DE and Hightower is OLB. I think Hightower could also see time at ILB and DE in sub packages.
Donta Hightower. Lines up all over the field. Loves hitting QBs. Leader of the Roll Tide National Champions that had 4 players go in the 1st rd. Coached by Nick Saban.

Belichick mustve fallen in love watching this type of film. Since we already have Spikes and Mayo at ILB, you have to think Belichick felt Hightower was just too good to pass up, and can also play OLB/DE in our hybrid defense.

Chandler Jones. Strictly a 34 OLB or 43 DE in our system. Mayocks 9th ranked prospect in the entire draft. Long arms and tall. High motor. A middle class man's Jason Pierre-Paul?

Path to the Draft... Says 20 teams had him in for Private workouts. Funny enough, Patriots were NOT one of those teams. Says he only talked to New England at the Combine.
