I'd give Romeus one more year to see if he can stay healthy. If he can, he's no doubt a OLB in a 3-4.

Well, PFW's draft profile listed Romeus as having:

Outstanding body-length and size, long arms, large hands, a thick trunk, and good musculature. He has a strong bull rush and can walk his man into the backfield.

To me, that spells a 3-4 DE, but it remains to be seen if he can remain healthy and what the past two injuries have done to his level of play in general - he might not be the player he once was for the Pitt even if he has fully rehabbed and is able to stay healthy in order to be on the active roster. Also, the DE position should fit him better than the OLB because it shouldn't be as hard on the knees as the edge rushing OLB position.
