It's a very offensive league now more than ever.

If there’s a guy that’s shown the ability in college, with the right measurables/athleticism/work ethic, take him. A good to elite pass rush will make everyone better on the back end—It’s how you generate turnovers and slow down great quarterbacks. Invest in the guard position/offensive line as well. From there you can fill out the roster with mid round picks and free agents.

Of course I’d resign Lawson and WJ3, as well as upgrade the coaching staff. We can let AJ and Geno go to save money and get these guys re-signed. Bring in a solid FA guard as well.

At 3, it would be a stretch to take someone. Rousseau is a really good prospect, but he's really raw. I'm a gunge Miami fan too so I've seen him a lot and in person some. He's really quick. I just don't know how he will translate to the Pro level. I feel like he needed to play this past season to get more experience, but he didn't. IF we traded down several spots and took him and picked up an extra pick or 2 I think that's the strategy.

I think Rousseau has a lot of risk that he could bust, but he has a really high Pro Bowl+ caliber ceiling too if his game translates to the Pros.

Adding him doesn't solve our pass rush issue though.

IF Sewell goes 2, my move would be to trade down a few spots to a team that wants fields. Then go Chase or another WR with speed. Chase would be idea.

The Bengals could go Surtain at CB if Jackson leaves. With what they paid Waynes, I don't know that they'll pay Jackson a huge contract.

Micah Parsons, the LB from PSU is good too.

3 is tough. 1 and 2 are no brainers. (Lawrence and Sewell). 3 you need to really scout and figure out who to take. It would be nice if Fields goes 2.
