DCOrange Posted March 12, 2021 Posted March 12, 2021 I mentioned this tweet to some friends yesterday saying that Ossai would seemingly be someone that we should be very interested in. Sounds like we might actually be. 1
Buffalo_Stampede Posted March 12, 2021 Posted March 12, 2021 (edited) I still can't believe we really retained our entire front office and coaching staff. Enjoy it for another offseason because we're getting raided next year. Edited March 12, 2021 by Buffalo_Stampede 8 3 1

No_Matter_What Posted March 12, 2021 Posted March 12, 2021 I saw this guy mocked to us couple of times.

Sounds like we might actually be. I really like Ossai and I think there is a chance he lasts to the Bills, but I'd feel a lot happier taking him if I was a 3-4 team. I think he is a better rusher standing up than he is with his hand in the dirt at this point. The talent is there though. If the Bills draft Ossai I think as a rookie he is a situational rusher who plays on 3rd and long rather than an every down starter. I'm not against that but if they take him and in a year's time he isn't a starter and only has say 4 sacks I don't want to hear the "oh he's a bust" rhetoric. This isn't targeted at you @DCOrange but at Bills fans generally.... this kid is talent but bringing him here he would be something of a project too. I had him going to Tampa at #32 in my mock. 1 2 1

Sounds right to me. If we're able to address the OLine in free agency and add a bigger edge setter guy (like Autry, Clayborn, etc.), I think a guy like Ossai with his tools and effort level is a pretty ideal target at 30. Could theoretically kick Autry/Clayborn inside on passing downs and insert Ossai opposite Hughes to bring heat off the edge. I think McDermott and Beane are big believers in Tools + Effort types and being able to coach those kinda guys up so that Ledyard tweet made my ears perk up a bit. Not surprised to hear that he was seemingly the guy Morgan was most interested in. 1
Motorin' Posted March 12, 2021 Posted March 12, 2021 There's a top OT prospect at Texas. Sam Cosmi. At 6' 7", 300lbs, he put up 36 bench press and ran a 4.84 40. He's mocked to the Bucs at 32 on a lot of boards. 4

I see him as a 3-4 OLB BUT he’d be Jerry’s replacement in our system. He’s heavier than I thought he’d be as well. Starting to have less reservations about him 1

Yea Cosmi is the only other Texas kid that makes any sense. I think he is about the 10th best OT in the class though. Another higher ceiling guy but all arms and legs at this point.

This is how I view him too. Love the athleticism, but he's better standing up than as a true 43 DE. Possible that Leslie varies things up a bit and goes more multiple to accommodate, were we to land him, but there's some square peg/round hole discussion to be had here. It's a pipe dream, but the guy I want is Phillips. 1

Why are you adverse to your mock being mocked? 1
CNYfan Posted March 13, 2021 Posted March 13, 2021 I think mid-round 1DT - Bobbie Brown - is also someone they may have to consider. Too bad no fourth, but a 1T. A true, natural born, 1T is a need, now and for the future.
