So let's get this straight. They've released vids from Horn, Surtain, Pitts, and Rousseau...

Is this someone we should be talking about more?

I wonder how many they have done. IIRC all of them were leaked last year, and most posted.

Only a handful are out this year

Yeah it's just an odd selection so far. Could be the media team is looking at it like, who are the biggest names to the layperson

I"m kind of torn on Rousseau.

- Part of me sees a kid with great size / length, ability to get off blocks with good instincts, and decent straight speed that is still learning to play DL.
- The other side of me sees a linear athlete that doesn't have the overall athleticism to be a + edge defender.

I don't think he's every to going to be a 10+ sack guy, but I think he could play the Crawford role if he can get stronger and can give you a ton of snaps along the DL. I'm just not sure I'm good with that at 44...I don't know how I'd feel.

Same. He's a weird dude to contemplate. Times he looks like he doesn't belong, and others where he dominates the guy in front of him.

To me he looks like he just wins on athleticism, when he wins. He doesn’t seem to have much of a plan or pass rushing technique. If he’s a good teammate, hard worker and has the willingness to learn his craft and put the work in I think he has a lot of potential.

To me I see a David Irving starter kit.

If he's there in round 2 I think you sprint to the podium.

Do I feel great about this pick? Not at all but we're looking to hit a homerun and not a base hit.

If he's Irving with a good head on his shoulders then we just hit the lotto.

He is a guy you really want to see how he backed up a strong season the year before. Sometimes it shows his high sack season was a fluke and other times they back it up with another strong season. Some of the other guys who sat out, but have the right measurables, may get a little bit of a pass. Rousseau is sort of an odd build and that could hurt him with the year off between playing. I think he is one of the bigger boom or bust guys in the first round.

Irving was a freak athlete though.

I’d need to know who else is on the board before I can sign off...but I guess I could get on board if Rousseau is BPA.
