What do we do if Sewell is gone at 3?

[Whatever]

He needs to add to his pass rush moves and counters which Ohio State is excellent at teaching. If he had played this year instead of opting out with similar production we would be arguing if its Sewll or Rousseau but the one year wonder tag has people iffy. 

Rousseau is build and has the athleticism to be a top NFL pass rusher...and he put up 54 Tackles (30 Solo) 19.5 TFLs and 15.5 sacks. Those are crazy numbers.

His numbers are definitely great.  However, by comparison, Whitney Mercilus had 57 tackles, 22.5 TFL, 16 sacks, and 9 FF the year he came out and he went 26th and was the 5th edge off the board in '12.  I think he's a good prospect, but he's being somewhat overrated due to being the runaway #1 prospect at a premium position in a weak class.  No way I would take him at #3 overall.  If a trade happened and we wound up in the 6-10 range, then I'd be ok with it.
