BillyWhiteShows Posted June 14, 2019 Posted June 14, 2019 I think including Joseph in the mix is a bit presumptuous considering that the kid is a 5th round draft pick that has yet to take a preseason or regular season snap. I like what I’ve read about him though and it seems like he has the physical attributes to be a good fit in the defense 1

I stall have nightmares watching the gigantic offensive lines of the Giants, Redskins and Cowboys abuse Jeff Wright and the lighter, faster athletic defenses of the Bills. Of course I could just be suffering from battered fan syndrome. I was a Kyle Vanderesch guy, and you make a good point, but Edmunds is a freak of nature. I've been hard on him, but a guy 6'5" or so and 250 lbs is old school LB size, but has nu school stats, and should help make him be a 3 down LB and make the center of the D stout. His December really impressed me. 9 hours ago, row_33 said: Tailgate prep, the logistics of this are still astounding the only thing missing is a folding table!

Lance Zierlein nfl.com Instincts are average and relies on athletic gifts Can be a step slow to diagnose Lured by misdirection Will take random downhill paths that trap him in the quagmire Patience is lacking Races ahead of plays and voids his leverage and run fits at times Needs to add more upper and lower body strength Average base strength and high center of gravity create issues holding up at the point of attack Needs to be quicker to punch in order to maintain clearance Mental busts in man coverage hurt his team Takes time to process moving piece 18 minutes ago, BobDVA said: Already did, and I claim your claim unsubstantiated! Pro Football Weekly: Instincts are still developing in coverage — prone to getting fooled by play action and misdirection (see first quarter of the Miami game) and will have trouble locating the ball at times. Sometimes gets lost in space. Plays too shallow sometimes and doesn’t cut off enough of the field. 20 minutes ago, BobDVA said: Already did, and I claim your claim unsubstantiated!

Draft Diamonds: Negatives: Tremaine doesn’t have great instincts and I believe part of that is due to his young age. He can be a little slow in his decision making as well as be lured in by misdirection plays. Edmunds will have to try and strengthen his upper and lower body strength. (That will come in due time as he get’s older and his body fills out.) He will from time to time have a bust in man coverage from time to time, Which isn’t due to his lack of playing ability. It’s more due to his mental mistakes. 1

Of course I could just be suffering from battered fan syndrome. It's interesting, through this lens, to look at the types of linebackers New England has fielded in recent memory: my immediate thought is that Belichick has had continued success with bigger bodies at LB (multiple 250+ guys). Hightower and Van Noy last season, Collins (who was an athletic freak), Mayo, and Spikes before that... All while the rest of the league gets lighter and faster and more pass-happy. 1

You know what you're getting with Milano and that's big plays and range. Only downside is he's not strong at the point of attack, but that's not what they ask of him. what has Milano proven exactly? He has had less than a full year as a starter, has shown flashes of being productive...but he hasnt proven anything yet. All of our LB corp is unproven (lorax I guess has had a few good years of production but he isnt even being mentioned in here for obvious reasons). Edmunds is the captain and leader of the defense, everything runs through him. Milano being a year older than Edmunds is not even close to an argument that "Milano is the leader" of this unit lol 1

You don't think the Pats took advantage of his absence? Milano is a stud. Edmunds has GOT to improve his recognition or I'm not sure he's a MLB. It's quite possible that Edmunds would be an even better WILL than Milano, but that's not what the team is looking for out of the number 16 pick. 2

I know he is young but lack of instincts was his knock in college. He has a long way to go especially with the seasons Leonard, VanderEsch, and Warner had. I hope he turns out. I think Edmonds had a better season than VanderEsch. Edmonds position in this D is more difficult than VE in Dallas. Leonard is a machine. 1

Google Vosean Joseph Draft Profile First link; https://www.nfl.com/prospects/vosean-joseph?id=32194a4f-5327-9094-dac1-97c8315d8803 Instincts are below average He has a couple of other difficult if not impossible things to coach. Seems way premature putting a 5th-round LB on this list. Also from that link; "His tape has no middle ground, it's either really impressive or really ugly. Now go look at his production this year and you realize you can coach some ugly out of his play. He's a '5' right now but we can turn him into a '9.'" - AFC defensive coach That sounds like it could easily be one of our coaches overstating how easy it'll be. They seem to be like that, the "smarter by half" methodology. We'll see either way. Seems a little small and lanky to me, kind of like Vallejo. Their draft profiles have enough similarities. Vallejo's college numbers were notably better. Edited June 15, 2019 by Ronin

He has scary ability and I hope he responds well to coaching.

This is true but he was 20yrs old and was making the calls for #2 ranked defense on the field that took massive responsibility. I'm guessing he was playing with his head on a swivel. He did seem to get better in the latter part of the season and I fully expect him to be much better in yr2 2

Sometimes I don't think people can imagine what it's like to be quarterbacking an NFL defense -- and playing a position that you never played before in your life, no less -- at the age that most players are still sophomores or juniors in college. It was a MASSIVE amount of responsibility and learning they handed him. He had his rough moments, yes, but by December, he was starting to really get the hang of things, as evidenced by his Rookie of the Month award. His future is extremely bright. 3
