I think that I was very hopeful for JOK at 30. As I was in the TBD Draft Thread that evening, I wasn't alone in that hope.
A part of me, a part that I try to suppress, wonders if this wasn't an EJ Manuel type of draft. A situation where the Bills FO decided on a position and not a player. Even though that position group was very thin that particular year. "McBeane" seemed to decide they wanted to "impact the passer". But to me, an undeniably non-expert, this year's pass rushing group was thin. And thus they may have reached for a concept, rather than putting the BPA on the roster.
On the other hand I could not help but notice that the two teams behind us in the draft, the SB teams, also drafted pass rushers immediately after the Bills took #50GR. And also that as I reviewed the highlights and video clips of young MR. Rousseau that I thought he looked pretty darn good.
So that is what I think about this subject.
