DrDawkinstein Posted March 12, 2021 Share Posted March 12, 2021 Is he expected to last to 30? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DCOrange Posted March 12, 2021 Share 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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Buffalo_Stampede Posted March 12, 2021 Share 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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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

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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Motorin' Posted March 12, 2021 Share 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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Those numbers are great. 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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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

CNYfan Posted March 13, 2021 Share 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
