32. New England Patriots

This would be such a Patriots type of pick. New England is always known for taking guys who fit particular roles. The way they got use out of Rob Ninkovich is a perfect example. It’s that spot they’re trying to place new free agent Shea McClellin but so far with limited success. Their pass rush took a sizable hit when Chandler Jones was traded. Throw in the fact that Ninkovich is hurt and Chris Long is on a one-year deal and they have good reasons to explore the pass rusher market. <p>Charles Harris might be considered undersized for the defensive end spot, but in a hybrid role where he’s allowed to maximize his talents as a rusher he could be deadly. He is quite proficient at knifing into the backfield, both applying heat on the quarterback and also making tackles for loss. When allowed to play aggressive Harris is a handful for offensive linemen. Instinct, athleticism and pursuit are the strengths of his game. All things Bill Belichick can take full advantage of.</p>. DE. Missouri. Charles Harris . 32. player. 47
