With better-known Mark Herzlich and Greg Romeus still available, the Patriots selected a different outside linebacker at pick 194 with Markell Carter of Central Arkansas.
Carter has prototypical size (6-foot-4, 252 pounds) and speed (4.70) to be a 3-4 OLB.
He had good production with 16.5 career sacks and has impressive length with 34-inch arms.
While it wasn’t the splash most fans were hoping for, it’s at least something.
