Darron Lee was supposed to cover Gronk for the NJJ.   Fast coverage lb/hybrid type. 

 

Didn't work out for Bowles

For those in the know, is D Lee good at his job?

Hes an athletic young former 1st round pick that's unemployed, so no he hasn't been good. But he's a fit in this defense athletically so you never know.

Solid athlete who was probably overdrafted, but had a very nice season statistically in 2018. I recall him going to KC last year, but he didn’t work out there it seems.

I'm all for bringing in a former 1st Round pick to compete for the 5th or 6th Linebacker spot.

So this is another Beane having a look at some potentially useful player. I’m good with that, Beane do your thing! 

 

Go Bills!!!

Many of us including myself considered him an interesting prospect back in 2016. He was pretty much supposed to be what Milano is for us now. Smallish LB that excels in speed and coverage skills who's not much of a thumper. He went #20 right after we picked Lawson @ #19. He never panned out so far but may excel in this particular defense.

I'd totally take a flier on him. I thought he was going to be pretty good coming out, but it hasn't worked out. But McDermott can coax that 1st round talent out of him.

Do we really consider Dodson, Joseph, and Thompson as guys who shouldn't be replaced if a better option is available?

No.  But Lee isn't that guy.

And many other of us said if he is a first round talent I am a Dutchman. And I have never owned a pair of clogs. I thought he was a late day 2 / early day 3 level prospect.

I dont disagree there, but it also wouldn't hurt to bring him into camp to compete.   Linebacker depth is a big need on the team.

I consider Thompson underrated, Dodson and Joseph intriguing. 

 

I am not against Lee at a vet minimum. Wouldn't pay more than that.

I guess guys like Lee could also be considered for the PS if no other team picks them up.

16 slots on 32 teams is a lot of players to look for.

Never said he was 1st round material Gunner, just an interesting prospect. I'm sure you're aware many analysts and draft gurus had him as a late 1st, early 2nd. I agree with you though, he wouldn't have been my 1st pick and neither would Shaq. Obviously in hindsight Chris Jones or Myles Jack would've been nice.

I come from Dutch heritage and I'm not offended by the truth here about of Dutch people. 

 

I may add to your quote though.

He is not a good football player.
