The Patriots’ roster is basically in shambles. You could successfully argue for half a dozen positions here. Quarterback and wide receiver were the chief needs at one point, but the Patriots’ re-signing of Cam Newton gives Bill Belichick a little flexibility.

Someone else who provides flexibility, albeit on the defensive side of the ball, is Miami’s Gregory Rousseau. Rousseau is an enigmatic prospect. He played EDGE in college, but with his length and athletic profile, he projects very well to a more involved interior role, which is where New England would need him. He’s raw, but he’s also aversatile defensive lineman, with nice upside in the middle of the round.
