skibum Posted April 27, 2019 Share Posted April 27, 2019 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! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

yungmack Posted April 27, 2019 Share Posted April 27, 2019 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. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Green Lightning Posted April 27, 2019 Share Posted April 27, 2019 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Logic Posted April 27, 2019 Share Posted April 27, 2019 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NoSaint Posted April 27, 2019 Share Posted April 27, 2019 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This is a really solid pick, especially for the 5th round 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.

IgotBILLStopay Posted April 27, 2019 Share Posted April 27, 2019 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

maryland-bills-fan Posted April 27, 2019 Share Posted April 27, 2019 At 230 pounds he sounds like a hybrid safety/LB who could play the mike LB in a cover 2,3 5-2 type formation. He would have pass defense responsibility in the medium middle zone. That could be a start and an easier learning experience and introduction to the pro game. Rest a 1st two down LB and put him in.

Buffalo86 Posted April 27, 2019 Share Posted April 27, 2019 From nfl.com: "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 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GreggTX Posted April 27, 2019 Share Posted April 27, 2019 I read the tape on him has no in between. It's really good or really ugly. Hopefully a year on the bench and he'll be a very pleasent surprise. In the meantime, he's a nice upgrade for LB depth and ST. He can block and tackle in the open field.

I thought him and Chauncey Gardner-Johnson were their best defensive players on a consistent basis this past year. Polite was really good but would disappear sometimes. I really think he is a perfect situational OLB that could be sent to blitz (especially blindside) or cover TEs this year and could step in for Milano really well if there is an injury. He has a lot of instinct and big play ability, and plays his best in big situations. Does he make mistakes and is he in need of work?

Just like Singletary he is sudden...you don't coach that. If he adds a few pounds of muscle he can be a force. I love linebackers, and this kid is special.
