GASabresIUFAN Posted April 30, 2021 Report Share Posted April 30, 2021 (edited) Rousseau. Grrrr! Wrong guy Beane. Very disappointing. Edited April 30, 2021 by GASabresIUFAN 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LGR4GM Posted April 30, 2021 Report Share Posted April 30, 2021 He only played 1 year... that's not ideal. Welp, I know almost nothing about this nfl draft so fingers crossed. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've always been weary of one-year wonders but there's so much potential here. It's a guy that played safety/wide receiver in high school but he's now a 6'7 monster off the edge with versatility to move inside. But I get why there's a lot of angst. The one year. The tape looks like a guy who plays too high and just relies on his size to make plays which simply won't work at the next level. BUT he had 15.5 sacks in a single year which is a TON. We constantly see that the Bills aren't getting sacks but then you hear "oh but it's okay they get a ton of pressures and move the QB out of the pocket." Okay, cool, but when the QB is Pat Mahomes and he can throw out of the pocket it does nothing for you if you can't finish it and bring him down. On tape you see Rousseau did get a number of sacks because he finished plays being made by other players. If the pocket moves in his direction that's when his size comes into play and he just eats guys alive. So this is EXACTLY the type of player the Bills need. Maybe not the best individual pass rusher but when you're trying to build a line he is the finisher. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JujuFish Posted April 30, 2021 Report Share Posted April 30, 2021 Any ideas why Ojulari is being passed on by multiple teams, not just Buffalo? I thought he was the top edge prospect of the draft. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I thought he was the top edge prospect of the draft. He definitely wasn’t the top edge guy and was never a fit for the Bills (he’s more of a 3-4 OLB). Also, notice how every edge rusher is extremely tall. He’s 6’2 which ain’t short but it ain’t that kind of tall. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That Aud Smell Posted April 30, 2021 Report Share Posted April 30, 2021 I like the Rousseau (sp?) pick. A few things I heard or read that I like: (1) Huge upside. I like that Beane swings for the fences. I realize that there will be misses (arguably Edmunds has been one, sorta), but it's a good approach. (2) Said to be well-raised by a solid family. That makes him a fit for the Bills #culture. (3) I heard one scout say that he loved how Rousseau can keeps his eyes in the backfield (on the QB) as he works through blocks. Playing high is a concern. But I feel like that's a technique issue that can be addressed. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And I generally like the swing for the fences approach. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LGR4GM Posted April 30, 2021 Report Share Posted April 30, 2021 I heard Rousseau had family in Buffalo and that his mom may have gotten her nursing degree here. I am sure we will learn some of this going forward. Take it with a grain of salt for now. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But could definitely see Mac Jones being a product of what was around him - the exact opposite of the guy that won the SB this year. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jones reminds me of bigger Peterman. Edited April 30, 2021 by LGR4GM added Alabama for clarity 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That Aud Smell Posted April 30, 2021 Report Share Posted April 30, 2021 DB, for sure. I was gonna say "CB," but I recently read something about nickel corners/safeties, and it confused me enough that I'm gonna say DB. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
