Rampage Posted April 28, 2019 Posted April 28, 2019 Loved this guy at Florida, he's a violent linebacker that controls it and plays within the rules. Could use another 10 pounds or so to get to that desired linebacker size while maintaining his speed. Only problem is his inconsistency, but that can be fixed.

Bob in STL Posted April 28, 2019 Posted April 28, 2019 Linebacker depth. Should make the team if he works at it.
Mojo44 Posted April 28, 2019 Posted April 28, 2019 For the fifth round this pick is great! Weaknesses mostly correctable. Upside very high!

Kid has great range and crazy closing speed. Zo's got one more year but this kid will get a LOT of snaps this year. Joseph, Edmunds and Milano our LB speed and range have doubled.

LSHMEAB Posted April 28, 2019 Posted April 28, 2019 This was a really solid pick. We have a stable of backup linebackers who all generally play near the L.O.S.; old school types. They needed a developmental guy with the athleticism to drop into coverage. Depth was not good at LB.

buffaloboyinATL Posted April 28, 2019 Posted April 28, 2019 So I was out at lunch yesterday with my family, because my wife would not let me watch the draft all weekend long. We we're in a restaurant and my son pointed out a player on the screen whose highlights were him absolutely laying guys out, hit after hit. I said please let that be our draft pick. Turns out it was. I hope he puts in the work and develops in to the type of player in the pros that he appears to have been in college. 3

Andrew Son Posted April 28, 2019 Posted April 28, 2019 You can see the intriguing athletic traits on tape. When he shoots his gun, it's a blur. Really like him as a blitzer. But he has a lot of bad tape. Hope he can clean it up.
billsfan89 Posted April 28, 2019 Posted April 28, 2019 Love this pick, LB was a depth need and this certainly fills it. Give him a year to learn the system and get comfortable with the pro-game before he gets a shot to start. Great value in the 5th too. My third favorite pick in the draft.

3rdand12 Posted April 28, 2019 Posted April 28, 2019 I do expect this that is the short and long term goal. beat Ne . am okay with that mindset

Mat68 Posted April 29, 2019 Posted April 29, 2019 Gotta say, after learning more about these they all seem to be solid picks. You question smallish LBs but played in the SEC, and led a super athletic defense in tackles. This is McDermotts kind of LB. 3

Until then, McBeane ruined the draft! We are #doomed! Wasted pick! I kid... I kid... Joseph was ranked much higher than he was selected by a solid majority of the draft media (for whatever that's worth). From the little tape I've seen, he is very fast, plays violent, and just needs to hone his focus and aggression into more quality plays. He also needs to put on a few pounds of good weight, but with that new training facility, the opportunity will be his for the taking. I expect a bit of a learning curve, too, in terms of diagnosing plays, but a player like Joseph is the direction that NFL LB's are taking: smaller, faster, coverage-capable guys. Have him learn under Milano, and I feel like he can be a really productive piece of this D. Edited April 29, 2019 by ROCBillsBeliever 1
