Romello Height, Texas Tech, Edge
6'3" 240lbs... Will turn 25 this year.

Late 2nd-3rd Rd

I personally was curious if Gute would gravitate to Height due to his age...glad to see us bringing him in for a visit. Height is a guy that I actually think has first round level tape truly at times.

Another issue beyond he is an old prospect was his arm length is quite sub-par and yes, that can be an issue for edges....BUT....BUT....Height uses his length well - don't confuse the two things. For a guy with shorter arms your technique and timing in hand usage has to be good and it is something he either has been naturally inclined to do or he's been coached up well and illustrates a willingness to attack a weakness.

He does have significant injury history sustaining in 2022 a shoulder injury that ruinded that year for him. He then started a transfer streak that saw him in USC for 2023, Georgia Tech for 2024 and then Texas Tech in 2025...each year being a solid edge and then in 2025 he feasted as part of that massively talented Red Raider front in 2025.

24 sacks over the last three seasons...but more importantly he is a pressure machine with massive win percentage rates that are not normal (21.8% win rate per PFF). He doesn't play the rush well some would argue and there is validity to it but it isn't from a lack of discipline I think the style and calls in which TT gave him, he was very often a pin ears and go type guy and that leaves you prone for mistakes. He has however been a very consistent run graded defender at least to PFF (65.6 \ 65.2 \ 65.9) over the last three years which I see as a positive.

I personally have Height as an edge we would have to use 52 on if we want him...as I don't think there is a world that should exist where he makes it to our third round pick...shoot I don't think he should make it to third personally.

IMO too much of a pass rush specialist for me to use pick 52 on considering some of the other holes on the team.

Another glimpse of a 3-4 move here bringing in Romello. He’s really an ideal 3-4 OLB. He has a high motor and doesn’t wear as much as some other Edge prospects will end of games. 5 year player (also will be turning 25yrs) but immediately excelled in Texas Techs 3-4 Defense. Romello put up the #2 best coverage grade from any LB In the FBS (96.1%). He’s also a Pressure machine putting up 64 pressures in his last season alone.

Where Romello does have some questions. He scattered through more programs than a TCL remote on a Rainy and Windy Friday Night. He’s smaller at 6’3” 234-239lb, but extremely athletic and especially his through his initial burst.

Hard to get a read on him because if he hits? He hits big. I’ve seen him as high as teetering Day 1. I’ve seen him in RD4. I think throwing out the high and low he’s safely #50-100 area. Guessing a slight reach at #52, but a strong value at #84.

Wondering if we are slowly moving away from the bigger EDGE guys of the past like Gary, Preston, Z and Van Ness who were all 270+. Even Enagbare was 258 which is heavier than everyone else left on the roster, aside for Van Ness. Right now we have Sorrell at 256, Parsons, Cox and Mosby at 250, & Oliver sitting at 240.

Yes. Imo the most likely earlier contributions come at DL, LB, RB. Especially if they are 4 year+ College players in a Power 4 program. As an example if we drafted Christian Miller Jr at DT I wouldn’t hesitate to plug him immediately. He anchored the middle of the Georgia Defense, but he wasn’t a Part Timer like Stack or Brinson. That or let’s say a dynamic RB crosses our path n Day 2 that we think is a future RB1. I wouldn’t hesitate. I’d actually love to see a 1-2 punch at RB in the flavor of what Detroit has had.
There is a lot of uncertainty around the actions Gluten takes from here. I'd still like to see CB addressed, but Gluten didn't see anyone at a Pro Bowl or All Pro level in FA that he was willing to pay for. It would not be ideal, but he may have the starting CB group already under contract. He could simply add depth through the draft, and other means (UDFA, trade, picking up a vet on waivers).

He could still draft a CB at #52. I think he'll take the BPA at CB/iDL/OL/RB - or he may surprise us and take a WR at #52 if that person is the BPA at the time. Pretty sure this time he's going to be lookng for someone who can take a lot of snaps as a rookie.

I prefer to have big, fast safeties to occasionally blitz. Seattle blitzed safeties and CBs to great effect. And I agree that the edge players are trending closer to 6'3 or 6'4 and around 250, maybe 260 lbs.

I don't know Cooper's height and weight, but he seems to be the kind of guy teams are looking for to play "edge" - or call it OLB.

This is the year of the 3rd tier CB:

Daylain Everette
Devin Moore
Keionte Scott
Malik Muhammad
Treydan Stukes
Jaylin Kilgore
Julian Neil
Davison Igbibson
Tacario Davis
Will Lee iii


Most of these guys could go in the 2nd round and nobody would bat an eye. They are all tall, athletic, and skilled - and to varying degrees would contribute as rookies. There will probably be a couple that are available at our 3rd round pick that would be good value.

Thanks Amish for the intel on CB in the upcoming draft. That makes it more likely Gluten will use a #2 or a #3 on CB. And if the difference between talent in the 2nd and 3rd rounds is small, he could take a WR in round 2 and wait for round 3 to get a CB.

More likely, none of this happens because that's just the nature of the draft.

Interesting. Thanks again Amish.

4 of these guys made my list. 52 is probably too early IMO. 84 is a strong possibility IMO.

Kilgore, Scott and Stukes are not the outside CB we need, unless Gute and Co. want to plan for a need at safety or slot if Bull slides back if we walk from X.

Julian Neal is a top 50 player on my board and Everette isn't crazy far from it.

I actually like Prysock over Tacario fo the washington CBs but have both in my top 120.

Maybe. Not sure what we will be looking for: press, zone, man, or something else? Last season AZ ran more cover 3 and 4 zone than just about everyone.

I ain’t looking for a slot only type guy either way unless we think future is moving Bullard….atleast not early or unless a pure slot falls beyond where board says they should have and a better fit and value doesn’t exist

I think I agree. A lit of caveats in there

Collin Oliver was built for a 3-4 as well more so IMO too.
That’s a good point. I was racking my brain because he’s really a tweener. Too small to play DE At 240lb+ he’s actually well in range at OLB and he’s probably best used getting a running start where he can use his Elite burst to avoid altogether tangling with an OL by purely outracing them. Oliver is just so far off radar after last year but that guy is a Baller.

I end up selecting Malik Muhammad in many Mocks either at #84 or even in a trade back in the later RD3 area. CB is a pretty adequate to deep class this year.
In the 2025 draft there were about 30 draft graded CB’s and 24 of those got selected + Donte Kent and Marcus Harris who were more outside the norm (ranked 305-425 area). 80% of your consensus ranked players drafted.

In 2026 there are around 35 consensus ranked CB’s before a somewhat sharp dropoff. So a slightly better supply of consensus ranked Corners. About ~21 sit in Day 3 ballpark, but 14 are RD1 - RD3 grades. Current 3 are RD1 locks and might see some slight reaching from RD2 when teams are on the Clock in the 20-32 area. So that’s a moderate to good supply where we are picking 52-84. I think we always like Pass Rusher first if one slides though just imo.

My hope is that we get a CB in Day 2 and DL by RD3 to RD4 at latest. I’d like a RB and TE on Day 3

My reasonable mock is DT Christan Miller in the 2nd and cb Julian Neal in the 3rd. But Muhammad would be fine as well.

I am also wondering where Caleb Banks goes. I think there is a chance he is there at 52 and then we should gamble on greatness. He had a 'persistent foot' issue and didnt play but 3 games. But he has the physical tools to be amazing. He hasn't come close to what he can be, and that is concerning. Playing with leaders Hargrave and Parsons may foster an environment that brings about his best.

According to Packers.com, 6'2", 229#
Thanks HE, much appreciated. Seems like there are two types of Edge players - guys like Parsons and Garrett, tall, lean, fast, and incredibly strong - and nothing like the "older" edge rushers, thinking of Reggie White - and these much lighter, faster LBs like Cooper.

I'm guessing Cooper plays a little heavier than 229#, but not much.

And I'm not knocking Reggie White. He was the best edge rusher of his generation (I don't think they called them Edge Rushers then), and I loved that swim move where he would seem to shrink his body and swim through offensive tackles and guards. they guy was a wonder to watch (RIP Reggie).

But the sport has changed and now favors younger, lighter, and faster guys at all levels of the defense (with the exception of the iDL guys, who still play around 300#s, but are much faster than iDLs of the past).

I might be wrong here. Just seems like the NFL looks a whole lot different than it did when guys like Reggie played. I guess that's not a big surprise. The OL guys of the Lombardi era probably played at 250# and were considered massive.

Yeah I think you list all the conditions necessary to take a slot back. I would be stunned if that happened. But value is value and if a guy drops Gluten will know to take the bird in the hand. Again, I don't expect it.

I started out the offseason thinking CB or iDL had to be at the top of the list for the #52 pick. With the acquisition of Hargrave at iDL and Juste at CB, I'm not so sure. Gluten seems to have the luxury of taking the true BPA at 52.

I don't expect any big changes to the CB group this season, but there's always a trade possible. I would still like to see Gluten remake the CB group the way he remade the S group with McKinney, Williams, and Bullard (ok Bullard is a lot corner, but certainly strong enough to play like a S).

Sorry Amish - who is Caleb Banks and where did he play? Sounds like an edge guy. Thanks. Joe

Thanks for the info OS. I don't follow the draft much beyond the first-round mocks. Good to hear the draft is CB-rich in the 2nd and maybe 3rd rounds. I think Ty pointed this out as well, and that there is decent iDL depth outside of the first round.

Hard to predict what Gluten will do. If he doesn't see a reasonable way to improve the CB group (beyond adding Juste), and with the addition of veteran Hargrave to play next to Wyatt, the need to take a CB or iDL is reduced. He could go in any direction - WR and RB seem the most likely.
