RD 5, Pick 147: LB Vosean Joseph, University of Florida

[skibum]

Will probably have to make the team as a Gunner, but hopefully he can do more down the road.

 

An elite D-line can free up a lot of space for a fast LB like this; make him look really good!

[Bookie Man]

Love it. The dude HITS. 

[yungmack]

Missed the Combine, I believe, for med reasons. Otherwise, he was a 2nd rounder supposedly. So if the Bills cleared him physically, all all else remains the same, he's a steal.

No no no.  Kiko 2.0.  And I'm okay with that.  The dude just flies around the field and punishes people, then picks the ball off for good measure.

So you're saying Josh Allen is gonna make Joseph his b i t c h?!

:P 

[Green Lightning]

When it comes to defense, defensive backs and linebackers, I trust the process. McBeane has a pretty damn impressive track record. Kid looks like a steal.

Bills seem to follow the old draft adage: Day 1 is for immediate starters. Day 2 is for year 2 starters/contributors. Day 3 is for taking swings on athletic upside.

Smart drafting.

The big question will be how coachable he is.

With his talent and potential...I hope he responds well! Looks like a fast and disruptive player! No reason he cannot be coached out of his "ugly" traits...part of the "process"

[YoloinOhio]

Welp, I’m in love

Stop reading the reports and watch the LSU highlights - he wrecked them this year and had no problem tackling.  This is a really solid pick, especially for the 5th round

 

Dont mistake me. I do love the pick and I did watch the tape. Did you spot the missed tackles? 

 

Probably correctible by Bills coaches and yes I do agree he is good value.

[NoSaint]

Should contribute as a special teamer and hopefully they build out a couple easy read packages for him. I’d assume he won’t be first off the bench in injuries but will get reps.

Love the pick. Milano 2.0. 

 

Thats what he sounds like to me too. 

 

Not bad depth. Still would love to see some better depth on the other side too

I have also seen him play 3 games  (and he was great vs LSU). He is always going 150 miles an hour. Strangely enough that is his strength and weakness. He usually gets to his man every time but that can cause him to overshoot or be sidestepped. 

[Nitro]

Love this pick.  Hard nosed tackler who flies to the ball. Looks to have good lateral movement.  

[BobDVA]

I think that the LSU QB sees Joseph in his sleep.  I might like this guy.

[IgotBILLStopay]

In this draft besides their main positions Beane now consciously picking guys who will be ST mainstays. Joseph will likely be a younger Lorax in covering KOs.

 

I like it.

That’s the scouting report I read.  Has a lot of good and a lot of ugly.  I think he said that he sometimes plays like a 5 but with good coaching could be a 9. I don’t question them on defense though.  They earned that.

The guy kills people, not like Ray Lewis though. On the field.

I remember the same thing being said about Nigel Bradham.
