How many years in college did Nick Bosa play? Were Bosa's times all worse off than scouts expected & did he put on weight in his year off? I think these are the things that mattered (I'm not saying they shouldn't or shouldn't matter) to the scouts. Hell, that article even said he's now projecting to be the 29th-30th pick now, which is exactly what happened. I am personally happy for him, hope he shuts the doubters up & makes a huge contribution. I can just see how it's perceived as a big risk. I have a feeling Aaron Maybin comparisons will be consistently thrown out even if they're not valid. Maybin? He in almost no way resembles Maybin. 4

Think he’s a step slow for the NFL. He had the fastest 10 yard split than any defensive player in the draft. This shows his initial burst 2 2
Magox Posted April 30, 2021 Posted April 30, 2021 7 hours ago, Nelius said: Slow and not good but he had 15 1/2 sacks the only year he played? I thought the issue with him was more so lack of experience and taking a year off, not a lack of freakish athletic talent He’s not slow at all. Ran in the 4.6’s His shuttle time was slow. 1
Matt_In_NH Posted April 30, 2021 Posted April 30, 2021 They got the guy with elite traits and they think obviously think they can develop him. I am no draft expert but I like the high upside. Might take a year or two before it really shows.
DCofNC Posted April 30, 2021 Posted April 30, 2021 I don’t know how his game will translate, but his highlights are an awful lot like JJ Watt coming out. That would be a helluva find at 30. I think it says something they took him instead of JOK, who I thought was their perfect pick and a guy who could run with Kelce, I’m not sure I like it until I see him against NFL competition, but time will tell. 1

I can’t wait until Bruuuce gets his hands on him!! 1

Given the fact we’ve spent our first pick 3 years in a row on Oliver, Epeneza, and Rousseau, I’m not totally sure that’s a dominant line when you factor in the cost. Everybody is young and it’s still very wait and see. I have faith Oliver can be a player so we will see. We better see this year on Oliver
CommonCents Posted April 30, 2021 Posted April 30, 2021 If you can’t understand this pick you’re just mad they didn’t get “your” guy. He has some elite traits and fits a position of need. Fine slot for a 30th overall selection. I hope trains hard and brings some fire to that side of the ball. 6 1

I agree, the fact it was one year cause some to pause, not me. I trust Beane and now it’s on McDermott and the coaches to get the most out of Rousseau.

Speed off the edge wins in today’s NFL. Epenesa and Rosseau are more plodder than speed. Concerning. With the speed that teams get rid of the ball - speed on the edge is so much less important. Pressure in the middle is more important than edge in most schemes and the newer thing is moving these guys inside. The Edge guys are QB contain guys that should be keeping him in the pocket and let pressure come from inside.

What did they give us for all that money? NOW on this 1st round pick tonight.......... HE WAS A GREAT PICK and a steal at 30th overall, watch for him to turn into a DE force. Maybe take a season or two but he has the gifts that no coach can teach. Congrats Beane & staff..... well done! well to address the bold. part of a 13 win team and one that was 45 minutes from the Super Bowl. 1 1

It reminds me of what people said about Lawson and how high he should have gone. It wasn’t true for him and it’s not true for Rousseau. True? How could we ever know?

Don Otreply Posted April 30, 2021 Posted April 30, 2021 Strikes me as Beane doing what he said he was gonna do. Good pick,

Mahomes beat us twice by doing the opposite. He held the ball and ran around and we couldn't get to him and coverage broke down. This is a guy who can chase him. 1
D. L. Hot-Flamethrower Posted April 30, 2021 Posted April 30, 2021 (edited) Daniel Jeremiah's top 150 prospects in the 2021 NFL Draft class If the Bills board was anything like DJs the highest remaining players were Moering, JOK and #18 Greg Rousseau all in the mid teens. Looks to be a solid Bills type pick with great upside at a big need area. Edited April 30, 2021 by D. L. Hot-Flamethrower 1
