MAJBobby Posted April 30, 2021 Share Posted April 30, 2021 Very solid pick. Beane timed the DE run correct with Two going right after. 15.5 sacks yeah I will take that. Was going to go much higher before bad workout. And was the 3rd best player left on my board. Should have been gone before 30. 9 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mango Posted April 30, 2021 Share Posted April 30, 2021 Honest question to the college gurus, @MAJBobby @NewEra @GunnerBill Do you project either Epenesa or Rousseau to be able to replace Hugh’s at a high level in the next 2-3 years? We don’t have a huge stable of pass rushers so one of these guys will have to perform at a comparable level or we are in the same spot as we are right now. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Success Posted April 30, 2021 Share Posted April 30, 2021 I like how they've been investing so much draft capital in the line. I can see both Epenesa and Oliver taking the next step this season, and if Rousseau can join them in another year or 2, we'll have an excellent young defensive line to complement an offense that is already SB caliber. When you're picking so late, there really aren't sure things; it's almost like a 2nd rounder. I personally tend to like the "high upside" guys, and of course, trust Beane.

dawolv Posted April 30, 2021 Share Posted April 30, 2021 Kid is a beast and full of energy, very likeable. His stats are what they are, he is a project. A bit of a bet, I would rather they took a CB, but I dont hate it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rocket94 Posted April 30, 2021 Share Posted April 30, 2021 Just now, LABILLBACKER said: He will need development like AJE but I like his size and athleticism. Most boards had him 2nd or 3rd rated pass rusher. Yeah...good stuff! Despite missing a season, he has all of the tools. He looked happy to be drafted by the Bills!

Mopreme Posted April 30, 2021 Share Posted April 30, 2021 How do you pick him over the Oweh and Ojulari? Rousseau seems like another project like Epenesa. 4 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Victory Formation Posted April 30, 2021 Share Posted April 30, 2021 1 minute ago, Nelius said: Slow and not good but he had 15 1/2 sacks the only year he played? I thought the issue with him was more so lack of experience and taking a year off, not a lack of freakish athletic talent I love the fact that we have a lineman that big on the DL now. I’m very happy about this. Our line was very undersized last year, this guy is a monster. He may have only produced one year, but in that one year he racked up more sacks than many of the other DEs had in 2-3 years combined. I feel good about this pick. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I mean I know you didn't ask me but if the bar is a low 4.5 or 5.5 sacks then Epenesa only needs 4.5 more this year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

34-78-83 Posted April 30, 2021 Share Posted April 30, 2021 Opted out after a 15 sack season. This guy would have gone top 10 if he played in 2020. On that alone it’s worth the pick. Big frame too and doesn’t need to grow into his nfl form. 2 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CincyBillsFan Posted April 30, 2021 Share Posted April 30, 2021 15 minutes ago, DJB said: This front office struggles to draft Dline Oliver Epenesa Rousseau Do we know that this is true though? Oliver was solid last season and a lot of folks are saying he could take the next step and be a dominating D-lineman next season. Espenesa was playing a lot better at the end of this last season. He was on the field more and I noticed that he was around the QB a lot. We could see a big jump in this guy next season. Rousseau looks like your classic high upside risk at a position of need. This is exactly what you draft when you're picking at #30. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
