Dude looked happy (unlike Gilmore)

 

I actually bet that's part of their interview, seeing if he's the enthusiastic type who would "buy into the process".

Recommend you go watch the draft video if you haven't yet and you'll instantly like him a little bit more

 

Also he's huge

#Miami DE Greg Rousseau is one of the Draft's most challenging evals. One scout called him a “skinny little guy” on tape, but he showed up at his Pro Day 25 pounds heavier. Some wondered about the athleticism, but he’s much bigger now. Plus, he was an opt-out. Lots of questions.

I wonder what the scouts were saying when I was coming out? Not athletic enough? Not strong enough? I am not a scout and I know they have a tough job. But I hope they don’t overthink this one.

@Greg_R5 can play football. He is a playmaker! Shows up in both the run and pass game"

I dig this pick.

 

Premier position and a clear weakness on this team.... Better than any RB in the draft. 

 

The world must be ending.

Hughes doesn't have too much left in the tank, gotta have a replacement for him. With Farley and newsome off the board I don't hate the pick. Bills know they have to get to mahomes and some one athletic enough to run him down. As long as we get CB2 at some point in this draft I'm good with it.

Possibly, I don't know enough about him. I'm just saying you pick at 30 and it's hard to get a get up and shout type pick.

 

Not hating on the prospect at all.

The way I see it, Beane capitalized on a Covid opt out who had a mediocre pro day who was set to be a top 10 pick after his 2019 season. That's absolutely the type of guy you target at the end of the first.

I like it - all the DEs and CBs had some questions- he was an opt out.  Big, almost 35” arms, should be able to disrupt passing lanes even when he doesn’t get pressure.

Not good. Slow off ball, a lot off sacks were coverage sacks 

Except that every sack ESPN just showed of him were not coverage sacks at all. 

Did you research that yourself or just taking Mel Kiper's word for it?

Yes! Great pick. He would have been a top 15 pick if he didn’t opt out, so we got a bargain. 

A lot of people here seem to be saying this in the last few minutes.  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.

I just don’t understand how 15.5 sacks is so easily discredited in the acc 


Thats a lot of clean up/coverage sacks 

 

sign me up for this pick. He looks the part and sat out last year. Maybe he didn’t have the work ethic or drive he needed. Maybe he didn’t have the help and facilities he needed either.

I’m actually really excited about this. I love his size. 15.5 sacks his freshman year, you can’t fake that, you can’t get lucky that often. 6’7 270lbs, this guy should be a natural at LE. Obviously he will have zero problem against the run and looks to be a quality pass rusher as well. He wasn’t supposed to be here at 30. I’m giving this pick an A+.

Big upside and fills a huge need. I honestly thought he’d be long gone by our pick. In Beane we trust!

I like this pick. This kid is going to be a force and he has a few veterans in his corner.
