Yeah it speaks to overvaluing traits and skills shown on film in the past. If you evaluate strictly based off the criteria "who was a more impressive edge player in college" than Roche is the answer but GR will be 2 years removed from his last college season, is much younger and accordingly has untapped upside considering his physical traits.No issue with Phillips ahead of Rousseau, but Roche ahead of Rousseau? Don't get me wrong, I think Roche is great but I thought Rousseau already looked better than Roche and it seems like Rousseau has more potential as well.
Anyway it's apples to oranges. Even if GR is the 10th best edge rusher in the class he may be the best interior rusher in the class and derive a ton of value from that.
