If I am spending a Top 10 on someone, I need them be an explosive, special player. Rousseau looks like he's melody with no harmony.
He'll get decent bend, but then his arms aren't extended and he gets washed out of the play (and with his base being as slight as it is, he can easily get overpowered in a leverage match), when he extends his arms and doesn't disengage fast enough, he gets shut down when a lineman sits on him. He's explosive, but only when he isn't being blocked solidly.
Rousseau reminds me of a guy that doesn't know how to use his body and would be a huge waste that high in the draft. The potential could be there, but I wouldn't gamble that kind of draft capital for a chance.
As much as his career was a mess thanks to PED's, Dion Jordan's testing numbers are probably going to make Rousseau's look extremely average IMO.
