Rouse started 52 games at left tackle during his college career.
The Vikings have selected Oklahoma offensive tackle Walter Rouse with the 177th overall pick, kicking off the sixth round of the 2024 NFL Draft. Rouse started 52 games at left tackle in his college career, playing four years at Stanford before spending his grad transfer year with the Sooners.
Rouse has excellent length, standing 6'6" with 35-inch arms. He's athletic, experienced, smart, and tough, projecting as a swing tackle in the NFL.In pass protection, Rouse works hard to maximize his length and has learned to trust his spatial awareness, although NFL rushers will be able to expose his stiffness when attempting to redirect. It might not always look pretty, but he has enough drive to flush out defenders in the run game.
It's a bit surprising to see the Vikings take Rouse here instead of a guard like Boston College's Christian Mahogany, given their biggest need on the offensive line is at LG. But you can always use more depth at the tackle position, and the Vikings lost Oli Udoh in free agency this year. Rouse, along with veteran David Quessenberry, will back up starters Christian Darrisaw and Brian O'Neill.* Round 1, Pick 10: J.J.
