Rousseau having only an okay pro day in a class full of freaks is the best thing that could happen to us. He was second in the nation in sacks last year behind Chase Young... and he is 20.

JOK is Jamal Adams

Assuming we can find a stop gap LT, I am more than okay with trading up for either of these guys. Probably lean Rousseau because of what I’ve seen from a dominant dline in the last 2 Super Bowls

Exactly my thoughts.

Rousseau or Tony, maybe Owusu.

Jeremiah Owusu-Koramoah hands down! Yes, Marshall is very tempting but I still stick with JOK.

If JOK was there at 31, I'd run to the podium.

Probably so quickly and recklessly that I'd trip, fall, and fail to get the pick in on time.

ROFL

Terrence Marshall. Then go for Walker Little in rd 2.

What’s your argument for Marshall over JOK?

Because it reeks of need over BPA...

LB doesn’t move the needle. We won a SB with slow LB’s that included Reggie Ragland.

What clearly did move the needle was no #2 WR. I know it sucks but watch the first quarter of the Super Bowl again. Mecole was very disappointing and blew a walk in TD on the first drive.

That would have changed the game. I think we can all agree that the offense was at a higher level when Sammy was healthy

So you’re passing on a top 20 talent because of perceived positional value.

JOK is more than a LB, he’s a chess piece.

This was my thought on taking Rousseau over JOK. A dominant dl causes more mistakes and gives our opportunistic Dbs more interception opportunities. Plus it’s an extremely valuable position.

JOK is interesting in that he’s a hybrid and can play nickel. He’s half db. So, he’s not just a LB but a playmaker. I’d be thrilled with either player instead of reaching for LT with the board as you’ve laid it out.

I’ll be looking for him bc his pro day is today. I have questions like his size and speed. He’s listed at 215 lbs? For a LB?

Regardless of that, the question you need to ask yourself is what moves our team in games? What decides games and is our strength? The answer to that is all things Patrick Mahomes, the pass rush and strong secondary.

I’m a big Willie Gay fan as well. I know they can exist together, but I think they feel very comfortable with him patrolling the middle of the field on passing downs. He definitely flashed that ability as a rookie

I like Willie Gay and I’m a huge fan BUT

He has yet to show that he can be counted on all game. So assuming the LB position is settled with him is not smart. And JOK is more of a Jamaal Adams type player.

I'd take Marshall

I’d be fine with any one of JOK, Rousseau and Marshall at that spot.

JOK is a safety AND LB.

He would play Sorenson's spot, Niemann's spot, AND could line up in the slot as well.

He's not "just" a LB.
