Agreed. Fake trade that makes sense: #3 for #9, Jerry Jeudy and a third. I would make that trade as a Dolphins fan. Jeudy has actually been in Miami this offseason training with Tua.

Floyd averages under 6 sacks a season. This tracks with his college production- he never had a season over 6.5 sacks in college and never had double-digit TFLs. Khalil Mack was a monster in college (74.5 TFLs and 28.5 sacks for his career) and it translated. Disruptive production matters. Of...

If it was that easy, more people would do it. How many guys with that kind of sack production and + physical tools have failed? It's a short list.

I see the quickness to counter and natural hand use, especially given his experience level. Remember, he was a redshirt freshman who never played down in HS. We shouldn't treat him as a finished product. This is a coachable young player who was way ahead of schedule. Compare his TFL and sack...

I feel good about my comp for him: Chandler Jones. He was a guy who had average burst, freakish length, very good quickness and coordination for his height. I would not be surprised to see Rousseau turn in very similar numbers: Chandler Jones- 6'5.5, 266 pounds, 4.77 forty (1.66 split), 4.38...

If Jaelan is the only other EDGE in the conversation, I agree with you. I have them neck-and-neck and pegged Jaelan Phillips as a first round-type player after four spring practices. The guy is unreal. My issue is that people are forgetting how unique Rousseau is. As for your examples, we're...

This is what a scout told the Herald. You will get a variety of opinions, although I haven't seen anybody who has him outside the first round: A veteran NFL scout said he sees both as first round picks, with Rousseau off the board first: “I think Rousseau is a top-10 talent — long, quick, plays...

I didn't compare him to Campbell, it was a contrast. He doesn't have a lower-body like CC that will allow him to hold up inside. Rousseau has an edge body. The guy is 6'7, has clean character, a motor, bend, change-of-direction, and sacks the QB more than anybody in the class. If he's too much...

He opted out because his mom was a Covid nurse. Don’t think it was a pure business decision on his part. He still should be the first edge off the board. I get the sense that the NFL types (Jeremiah, Brooks, “anonymous sources”) are higher on him than the Internet scouts. Doesn’t mean NFL is...

Why? What about his skillset makes him an interior guy? He's 6'7 without a Calais Campbell lower body. The only criticism I've ever heard about his edge work is that he doesn't have elite twitch. OK. He's also the longest player in the draft and plays with the fluidity of a high school DB...

People are overthinking Rousseau. The guy got 4 sacks in his first scrimmage and multiple sacks in every scrimmage after that. In his only season, he had 15.5 sacks. He's also a 6'7 monster with bend and change of direction. The other pass rushers in this draft don't get sacks. Paye and Oweh...

Brevin's never going to be a big contested-catch guy because of his size. I am, however, bullish on his blocking potential as a move TE. He is built the right way with a strong lower-body and flexibility, and he's shown plenty of flashes. I would never consider him a soft player.

I'm not ready to make the comp, but from a physical standpoint Brevin Jordan compares pretty favorably to Randy McMichael. These are McMichael's combine numbers compared to Brevin's verified numbers out of high school: Randy McMichael (combine)- 6'2.5, 245, 4.84 forty, 4.28 shuttle Brevin...

I never understood why Ohio State didn't run Fields more. He is a big kid. Some designed runs in the NFL would help him with the transition.

What's your take on Fields? I see the slow processing, but my theory is that the game has gotten so much easier for QBs (coaching, weapons, rules) that the QBs with the loudest tools have more of an advantage than ever. Josh Allen, Justin Herbert, Pat Mahomes and Lamar Jackson would be...

He also had Rousseau and Phillips as the top two EDGE prospects off the board. If it plays out that way, we have a **** of a selling point to Marvin Jones, Jr. and other local DEs.

I don't think he's on that level, especially against the run. I'd compare him to a better version of Curtis Weaver from Boise.

Overall, this is our best draft class in forever. We have four guys with Pro Bowl potential in Rousseau, Phillips, Jordan and Borregales. Roche is more of a role player but should find a home on Day 3.

Agree. They shouldn't overthink this. Rousseau has elite size, moves like a LB, had 15.5 sacks in his only season and is smart with clean character. He will go high and play well. The caveats and reservations are manufactured to me. It's nitpicky stuff that will look bad in retrospect. He...
