Have you ever seen Rousseau in person?.Dane Brugler has the following Canes ranked in his top 100:
24. Rousseau - EDGE4
29. Phillips - EDGE5
82. Jordan - TE4
This mirrors what I've been saying which is that GR made a (earnings) mistake opting out and Jordan should have returned to push for 1st rd consideration.
Looking at the draft order I see these teams as being fits in those ranges:
Rousseau - IND, TEN, SEA or he slides
Phillips - LAR, CLE, TB, BUF
Jordan - JAX, ATL, PHI, ARI
This draft analysis has Greg falling also.
This is what he said on his site.

Ojulari moves into the top 20
Georgia OLB Azeez Ojulari moves into the top 20 in the player rankings of my NFL Draft big board, jumping ahead of Miami’s Gregory Rousseau.
It’s a combination of Ojulari showing great playmaking skills and the ability to impact games in a variety of ways on defense coupled with Rousseau’s inactivity this year based on his decision to opt-out. There is concern among league scouts that Rousseau is a one-trick pony and purely an edge rusher who exploited college-level opponents.
The only way this scenario happens if he is overweight, out of shape and looks like he’s been doing nothing with himself the last 365 days.Been saying this since he opted out. It’s gonna cost him.
Nobody likes a quitter, and he’s only played a year of college football. Too big of a risk for any GM to blow a 1st round pick on, as I see it.
I still think he slips out of the 1st round
How can Jaelan Phillips cost himself money when....Dude was about to retire. And likely wouldnt have started if not for covid. HE MADE MONEY. He has an injury history. Jordan will be a top 3 tight end taken more than likely. Same he would be next year. He aint getting taller. Coming back and getting injured again does what?. Its not that strong of a te class and TE's dont go first round like that anyway...he would be coming back chancing maybe 20-30 spots in the draft at most.This draft analysis has Greg falling also.

-He has Jaelen Phillips 68th on his big board
-He has Brevin Jordan 98th.
Greg cost himself money not playing this year.
I personally think Jaelen and Brevin cost themselves money also.
I think Phillips could’ve gotten into the first coming back, and if there is no combine that is going to be a big reach for him to get in first imo.
Jordan could’ve come back and possibly gotten into top 60 picks showing he can stay healthy.
Great minds think alike...i made my post b4 seeing yours.My Rousseau Prediction:
He'll continue to slip on draft boards for the next month....until teams see him workout. When they see his size/athleticism combo in person - that upside will bump him back up draft boards
How much games did Micah Parsons play?. Lets make a bet to see if he falls out of top 15?.I have been reliably informed the GR15 is an elite prospect on the level of Chase Young due to the fact he had 15 sacks here. I was also told by said sources that opting out would do nothing for him because he's, and I quote, "elite."
Teams are not spending top 15 capital on a guy with 15 games worth of film. It's not happening. He should have played at least half the season
He played 26 games on tape. GR has 14 and an injury. You putting your career on the line as a FO guy for one season worth of tape?How much games did Micah Parsons play?. Lets make a bet to see if he falls out of top 15?.

You know what I mean. He didn’t cost himself money coming out of retirement.How can Jaelan Phillips cost himself money when....Dude was about to retire. And likely wouldnt have started if not for covid. HE MADE MONEY. He has an injury history. Jordan will be a top 3 tight end taken more than likely. Same he would be next year. He aint getting taller.

Greg Roussseau the minute the scouts get to actually see him in person will shoot right back up boards i doubt he is slipping anyway. Dude looks like a got **** Dinosaur and there isnt any other dends looking like him coming out on the huff. LOL @
It's exactly what's going to happen. He's going to be a freak and whatever team gets him is getting a stud!!My Rousseau Prediction:
He'll continue to slip on draft boards for the next month....until teams see him workout. When they see his size/athleticism combo in person - that upside will bump him back up draft boards
This is what fans keep forgetting this kid is an athlete in Godzillas body. He's going to be a monster in the NFL.Great minds think alike...i made my post b4 seeing yours.
I seen Greg Rousseau in person. Keep in mind i wasnt that high on him as a recruit. This was him as a true freshman...dude looked like a nfl rookie then. I was sold. I played offensive tackle in college, Played in high school with a high draft pick big 10 dl, was college roomates with another nfl drafted edge guy, and Rousseau legitimately makes those 2 look like hs srs. lol
