straight up waste of a pick

Well according to NFL he may be asked to return kicks, kickoff, or block on ST 😂

Pre-Draft Grade:
Rourke earned a pre-draft grade of 5.82 from NFL.com, which equates to an "average backup or special-teams player," per the site's 8-point grading scale.

We seem to have drafted a lot of those guys.

We didn't.

Go to the front page player bios 😂

They need tough Quarterbacks that can play through injuries with this offensive line. Makes a lot of sense. I expect him to start sometime this year.

I agree, great scheme fit.

Decisive, calm under pressure, mobile, great arm, accurate, productive, and helped turn around a terrible Indiana program to get to the CFB playoff for the first time ever.

The big negative? Durability. Long list of injuries and coming off a torn ACL.

No problem. The team has really focused on protecting the QB this draft.

I was happy with all our picks until we went with a RB with multiple OL that could've helped us still there. Rourke is a good player and technically is good value here if he can stay healthy in the future. Next year's OL class should be far superior, we must think the remaining guys just suck.

Still a chance to get one though.. But they clearly are telling us they love the chance for Bartch and Hennessy to start with Nugent making a jump in development. Guess we'll see.

They clearly have no plans to replace McKivitz right now. But we at least need a swing tackle.

I likes his highlights a lot. Seems really mobile with a quick smooth release.

Tough guy. Remember him in the CFP against my Irish and being impressed

Ooh Brock Purdy put on notice!

Looks decent. Throws like Darnold.

Well, it's hard not to like this dude no matter how much we didn't care for pick

Another injury prone garbage qb. Waste of a pick.
