The real U target.
Will they still draft him after they draft Pitts at 10? They still have Jarwin and Shultz.

Exactly and I don’t think he’d make it past Tampa. They would love to add a guy like this to that defense.Funny you say that.. The Steelers are a team that I could see being interested.
Believe it if you want...
Could be a target at 10 if the medicals check out. Makes sense, since Gregory is a FA after this year and Lawrence is on a quarterback contract (also a potential out after this season). Not restructuring Lawrence this year may have been a clue.
FWIW...(also saw a tweet that said he ran a 4.68)
I worry we may be looking at Rousseau. If we are, I'm hoping it's as a third round guy. If we are considering him in the top ten I'll be sick.
I actually like Rousseau as a Crawford type...play both inside and out but I think his best football in the NFL would be bulking up and playing 3T.
Not sure I could take him in the first.
The guy he reminds me of is DE Marcus Davenport, whom the Saints drafted #14 overall a few years ago. People crap on Rousseau but he’s got size and length you can’t teach. Someone will likely take a shot at him in the backend of R1 or early Day 2.
I agree on where he’ll go... in the late 1st - early 2nd area and frankly that’s about where he needs to go IMO.The guy he reminds me of is DE Marcus Davenport, whom the Saints drafted #14 overall a few years ago.

His lack of explosion is what concerns me. His frame is great.Davenport was explosive and had a + first step.
Rousseau has great size and length but doesn’t have the burst / bend to be a + DE at the next level IMO.

I wonder if his get-off is as good as David Irving, because he was successful with a frame like that.
Yep.His most impressive snaps on tape were inside IMO. I rarely saw him win outside by bending the edge or using a pass rush move.
His pass rush win rate was also like 18% which is wayyyyyyyy too low for a first round edge rusher. I think Ojulari was around 25% / 26%.
Yep.
Irving won mostly inside as well. I think his explosion was a problem for guards (but not OT) and his length created issues for the shorter armed guys on the interior OL.
Rousseau winning at DT reminded me of Irving a lot.
He could be a fit at that 4T spot Quinn likes to usesI actually like Rousseau as a Crawford type...play both inside and out but I think his best football in the NFL would be bulking up and playing 3T.

Typo? Or is it some Michael Irvin next level analysis that you have to Google to figure out that he is actually making senseHe’s a. Dry good blocker.
