Looking back at Maybin's pre-draft breakdowns, he was highly touted and positively discussed quite often. Only the limited time with high production was brought up often. Way too broad of an apology. No where near the same type of player and not drafted near each other. There's little to compare to have any rational discussion about them but if you want to compare players we drafted 12 years apart, have fun. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Your arrogance is off-putting, but mostly it's amusing as I've dealt with worse. If you've been right on all these, I will be sure to pay attention in the future. And hope that Rousseau is as good as the other guys. Pretty much this....Bado is one of the most knowlege posters on this board....but the arrogance goes against that 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
John from Riverside Posted May 2, 2021 Share Posted May 2, 2021 I just think this kid is a total manchild who could grow into something special......all the physical tools......limited but very good production.......in a great situation where he doesnt have to be "the man" coming out the gate.....allowing him to get his NFL feet under him. Could be something really special 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

97bills Posted May 2, 2021 Share Posted May 2, 2021 9 hours ago, Sammy Watkins' Rib said: His hands are are over 11". Might be the largest in the NFL or at least not many larger. The guy Miami took only has 9 3/4" hands despite being 6'6. One of the knocks on Rousseau i have seen is that some of his sacks were coverage sacks and shoelace tackles. But I was thinking with those massive hands he might be a unique player in the NFL that gets a number of tackles and sacks with his hands. Those hands would be like bricks hitting a QB's feet. I don’t care how he gets the QB on the ground. I will take shoelace tackles on Mahomes all day long rather then sitting there chilling picking us apart Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SoCal Deek Posted May 2, 2021 Share Posted May 2, 2021 Somebody said it earlier. The pick reminds me an awful lot of Jason Taylor. Anyone else see the same? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BuffaloRebound Posted May 2, 2021 Share Posted May 2, 2021 6’7” with 6’11” wingspan and 11 inch hands with good closing speed and the body control to slither past blockers is rare. Have no idea how he didn’t end up on a basketball court. He’s Scottie Pippen plus 50 pounds of muscle. You just don’t see length like that on an NFL field. Excited to see what he can become. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Like the quote from his brother how the other AFC East teams that passed on him are going to regret it. Phillips (who took his college number) going before him might fuel him a little more against the Dolphins too.

Bookie Man Posted May 2, 2021 Share Posted May 2, 2021 I wish NFL would keep expanding jersey rule. #85 would look pretty sweet on GR imo. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BuffaloRebound Posted May 2, 2021 Share Posted May 2, 2021 How’s this for a way back comp. Ted Hendricks. The Stork. Interestingly enough, Hendricks also grew up in Hialeah and went to the U. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NewEra Posted May 2, 2021 Share Posted May 2, 2021 Here’s the thing about Rousseau, imo. he’s rarely going to beat him man on the edge and force the QB to throw or to move up in or out of the pocket. He’s the guy that going to get the sack after someone else forces the QB to scramble or reset. I’m really starting to think he’s another 3T and once he gets stronger, he can be an anchor on the edge on early downs. Swatting passes, playing the passing lanes and getting sacks on QBs transitioning in and out of the pocket is where he’ll make his money. Hopefully additional strength will allow him to be a force be the run. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
