#Patriots UDFA RB J.J. Taylor gives off Dion Lewis vibes, which I don't throw around lightly. At 5-5, 185, Taylor is a compact RB with great contact balance, elusiveness, and receiving skills but subpar long speed.

Could watch him run angle routes out of the backfield all day. Taylor is also a really effective ball carrier on screens and you can throw it to him in the flat and watch him go. He's got great power behind his pads despite his size due to a lower center of gravity and great balance.

#Patriots UDFA WR Jeff Thomas has to keep his head on straight but his explosiveness is electric. Stacks multiple moves together on his release while still gaining ground. Sudden feet to get inside. CB tries to stay square but you better speed. CB is way too late opening up. Manipulating downfield DBs on the corner-post. Little corner route fake at the top holds the outside CB for Thomas to break on the post. Don't like that he slows down, but that's some acceleration to hit the gas again once the ball comes his way. Great, great deep ball tracker.

Time to thread together the threads of the #Patriots draft class. Starting with top pick, safety Kyle Dugger. A hugely versatile 99th percentile DII athlete that convinced Bill Belichick at the Senior Bowl that he could hang with NFL talent. Second round, 60th overall: LB Josh Uche. The Michigan product's 26.1 pressure rate was best in the draft class, per @SportsInfo_SIS. Can play on or off the line. Another Senior Bowl guy.
