CNYfan Posted August 24, 2020 Share Posted August 24, 2020 Darron Lee was supposed to cover Gronk for the NJJ. Fast coverage lb/hybrid type. Didn't work out for Bowles Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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. 5 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BillsFanForever19 Posted August 24, 2020 Share Posted August 24, 2020 I'm all for bringing in a former 1st Round pick to compete for the 5th or 6th Linebacker spot. 14 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

billsbackto81 Posted August 24, 2020 Share Posted August 24, 2020 (edited) 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. Edited August 24, 2020 by billsbackto81 4 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MJS Posted August 24, 2020 Share Posted August 24, 2020 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. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I thought he was a late day 2 / early day 3 level prospect. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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

I consider Thompson underrated, Dodson and Joseph intriguing. I am not against Lee at a vet minimum. Wouldn't pay more than that. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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

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

I may add to your quote though. "Wooden shoes, wooden head and wooden listen". 1 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
