That 10-yard split 👀👀👀

Ironically, on the play cited here as evidence of Rousseau's underrated ability to "bend around the edge to get sacks," he doesn't really bend AT ALL. He is objectively, comically upright, in fact, given the claim this example is meant to illustrate. Rousseau beats the RT to the outside, sure. But not with any dip or bend, as advertised. No clue if that's a trend in his "tape," or just a poorly chosen clip. Does Rousseau have the get-off, body control, and ankle flex to bend the edge? I hope so. Would love to see footage that says so.

And by high ceiling we mean it literally.

That 3-cone 👀👀👀

The draft should not be about addressing immediate issues. It's a comprehensive team-building endeavor. On the other hand, we've known the Bills need more pass rushers, so...

Who on ANY TEAM'S defense can keep up with that timed speed?

Crowded backfield though, no? They seem to ride whoever heats up.

I GUESSED the Bills would pick Samuel, Jr., and HOPED they'd pick JOK. I'm fine with Rousseau, though.

Perkins was no longer available, and with Ojulari it's probably a combination of size (too small for the McD DE mold--he likes 'em long) and medical e v a l.

I'm slugging Old Grandad Bonded. Best bang for your buck on the planet. (A bit hot for some.)

Do better, LOL

Wasn't that Surtain Jr?

He strikes me also as a VERY smart guy. Smart enough, and honest enough, from interviews I've heard, to be a bit of a wildcard via social media and interviews. In other words, he'll fit right in in the 'burgh.

Hi. Please stop doing the other thing you've been doing. Thanks. I'm not a fan of blocking people.

Long term vs short term thinking. I favor long term thinking with the draft. But there isn't just one way.

Immediacy bias.

Thanks for not being a doosh with your spoiler. The need to click to reveal allows us to opt out. Take notes, spoilers. Edit: I was trying to quote the guy who embeds a spoiler ALERT in his tips.

Relax and enjoy the parts you care about.

You're really something.

I love parody accounts like yours. Hilarious stuff! Imagine joining a message board to crusade for a first-round running back...

I think you're right in that earning a LATE first round pick, which every team should strive to do, presents novel challenges each year. And this year's draft might be uniquely challenging once they get past the dozen-or-so blue chippers. Moreover, I'll bet the 32 NFL draft boards this year are more varied and subjective than ever before. We might see the pundits and fans alike caught off-guard by more picks this year, as the prospects' draft profiles don't have the same degree of standardization (which was already subject to considerable variance) that teams have grown accustomed to. We're likely all a bit more clueless than usual about the actual inner workings of this year's team-specific draft evaluations. Seems like this is a year to let the draft play-out in front of you. Some highly-rated talents WILL fall, seeing as the prospect ratings from team-to-team will be less consistent. The draft should NOT be about immediate upgrades in any year (QB aside). It's about long-term roster building for the most part. Gotta keep cool and patient. Unless of course one of those top-fifteen (in the Bills' eyes) blue-chippers plummets. Then maybe they deal up. But I don't favor that approach.

Trigger warning for the anti- crowd...

I just really hope the Bills don't trade up in Rd 1 for a RB. Etienne is not a transcendent talent.

I think you stopped reading before the end. The article details his new training regimen at Per4orm (some training facility), focused on burst and decisiveness. I'm not saying he'll be magically transformed, but there IS substance to the article.
