t<\/a> on Monday, predicting that the Patriots will select Texas A&M pass rusher Cashius Howell with the 30th pick.<\/p>\n\u201cCashius Howell is a younger version of Harold Landry III and K\u2019Lavon Chaisson,\u201d Edwards wrote. \u201cNew England has squeezed all the juice from those oranges, but Howell brings longevity to the position, a vital objective considering Mike Vrabel and Drake Maye should be around for a long time.\u201d<\/p>\n
Howell spent the last two seasons with the Aggies after beginning his collegiate career at Bowling Green, where he played for three years. Over the course of 56 games, Howell recorded 27 sacks and 35.5 tackles for loss. This season, he had a breakout performance, achieving 11.5 sacks, which is the highest total he\u2019s had in a single season.<\/p>\n
The Patriots should seriously consider selecting a young pass rusher in the first round, as this year\u2019s edge class is expected to be deep. This could lead them to secure an outstanding player.<\/p>\n
