We have the perfect guy to pressure and chase Mahomes down!!


he looks fast. He looks strong.  Thanks for the video. I didn’t love when he waved goodbye to the other team after a tackle, but mcD will fix that. 
 

I was hoping for JOK, but that’s the reason I’m not an NFL GM.

I mean this is a message board about the NFL draft. You could post “you have know way of knowing this” after all 32 draft picks today and 98% of all the posts on the internet.  

Exactly lol

I mean I like Jerry Hughes and all but highly productive? Those 2 10 sack seasons were awesome but since then I would agree to disagree but that's just my opinion. He's been our best pass rusher not named Mario Williams. 

I think Hughes just gets the benefit because he was on the most dominate line we've had. He was probably the weakest one on that line too, but still good.

I’m sensing a trend with our 1st rounders:

Allen, Oliver also mocked very high a year out 

 Another one

Hate or love the pick, you have to admire how leak-proof our front office is. Hadn't seen anything connecting us to Rousseau pre-draft. 

 

Had my eye on JOK, Teven Jenkins, and Elijah Moore, but I can get onboard with Rousseau. I like his length and I trust this coaching staff to develop him. 


only thing i dislike about the pick you touched on…”developing” him. You ideally would want someone that can make an impact immediately on a team squarely in their super bowl window, but maybe the kid will surprise us.

Don't you kind of have to swing for the fences with the 30th pick? It's historically littered with awful picks, and then TJ Watt. Definitely not a place where you can just lock in a starter

 

Well, if we're going to be all sensible and stuff, even the top of the first round is pretty much a coin-flip for locking in a starter.

Exactly the kid is a freak a bit of risk but damn worth it at 30 

I understand when people talk about his potential being high but I dont think of first round picks as being "risky" being wise picks I'd rather chose more of a polished experienced guy with more than a season under his belt at any given position. Yeah I dont presume to know as much as McBeane but Maybin 2.0 comparisons scare the crap out of me just sayin'.....

Don’t like the pick.  Did not want to invest in an opt-out.

 

I hope I’m wrong but our 1st picks on D have been meh.   Could have had DK.  Could have had Dobbins.  Will be wishing we had Moore. 

 

Moore is still available. 

 

Granted we probably won't go get him in the early 2nd, but for for anybody doubting this because of JOK and/or Moore - they're both still available.

 

In addition to still having a chance to get them, there's maybe a reason that they're still available...

Jerry Jones said the same thing just a few days ago and then drafted Micah Parsons

I'm surprised at some of the conclusions already being drawn re: Oliver & Epenesa.

 

Oliver was really hurt last year by Star opting out.  We had a light line, and it was easy for offenses to focus on him; he had a lot of double-teams.  

 

Epenesa improved throughout the season, imo.  He showed some flashes of being an excellent player.  

 

I love that we have a youth movement going on the line.  These guys COULD be dominant in a year or 2.  If they are, we'll be a scary team on both sides of the ball.

Just google “way too early 2021 mock draft” and you’ll see

Could have traded down and still selected him... Beane's weakness seems to be selecting D-Linemen.

Did you see any team move back into the first round this year?  Likely no teams were interested.

I loved the Oliver pick and liked the Epenesa pick as I think most of us did. If we all hate Rousseau then he'll probably end up being a stud.

Beane just said in an interview they could have traded back. Two teams were really interested. 

 

Ugh. Should have pulled the trigger. 

Since you don't know what was offered, how do you know trading back was the best move?

Yes...and we see this every year! After the predictable picks it is a crapshoot!

One thing I've noticed is if you listen carefully to Beane, he'll often say what he means and mean what he says.

Breadcrumbs he dropped:

-saying scouts having to go back to 2019 to watch film

-saying that at 30, we may draft a guy we expect to develop a year behind players on the last year of their contracts

-saying that if there's someone they like on the board, they may well stand pat and pull the trigger vs. counting on a guy to be there if they trade back

It would have been nice to get someone with actual edge speed but I don't hate having some extra length on the line. A batted ball is just as good as a pressure. AJ showed promise with that too.
