Patriots' Edge Rusher Need: Romello Height

On April 2nd, the New England Patriots still have a massive hole at Edrasher, even after

grabbing Dreymon Jones on a three-year deal in free.

Agency

Their exec Elliott Wolfenhead Coach Mike Raible called it a top-need at the NFL Combine,

and with losses like K-Levon, Sheson, and Anthony Jennings.

The depth chart is thin behind Harold Landry and a rehabbing Jones.

Expect the pass to target that spot early in the draft, and Texas Tech's Ramello height

is popping up as a strong option after they hosted him for AC.

30, visit.

This 6-foot-3, 239-pound speed demon ran a 4.640 at the Combine and earned first-team

all-big-12 honors last year.

Heights journey has been wild, starting at Auburn, flipping through USC, Georgia Tech,

and finally blowing up at Texas Tech with 10-Sex, 62, pressures and 11.5 tackles for loss.

But he's already turning 25 by draft day with four college stops raising some eyebrows.

His strengths screen pass rest dues, elite explosion, quick first step, strong hands for

swipes and ribs, plus a hot motor that led FBS with A.

23.5% pressure rate, weaknesses include his lighter frame for run defense, and that late

breakout opposite a top prospect, projecting him as a second, or third-round pick, around

number 83 overall.

Hike could slot in as the number 3 Russia right away on passing downs, adding the explosiveness

New England's edge group lacks, though his size.

And transfers might push them toward a more complete guy in this deep class.

Keep an eye on day 2, he's got flaws, but that past rush pop could jolt their defense

forward.
