Fantasy Football Dynasty Rookie Draft Advice: Sam Roush

The Bears take Roush at No. 69 to add to their room that includes Colston Loveland and Cole Kmet. Roush excels as a blocker, but needs to get more consistent as a pass catcher. He had seven drops last season at Stanford, but has shown solid production over the last two seasons, catching 89 passes. He earned himself a higher draft slot after his combine performance with a 10′ 6″ broad jump and a 38.5″ vertical. He’s worth a late pick in rookie drafts for his athleticism, but I’m not sure we’ll ever see high-level production from him with the Bears.

DBro’s NFL Draft Scouting Report & Player Comp: Sam Roush

Scouting Report:

Sam Roush is a fluid mover without the high-end athleticism to take his game to the top-shelf level. He has solid footwork off the line and at the top of the stem to earn separation, but he lacks top-end speed to threaten the seam or explode with the ball in his hands.
Roush has functional strength limitations that show up in his blocking. He is a tenacious, high-effort blocker, but he can get blown back by powerful defenders. He’s best utilized when asking him to combo block with a lineman or chipping before he gets into his route.
Roush isn’t a dynamic YAC threat with only 5.3 yards after the catch per reception in his collegiate career, and only three missed tackles in his final season.
