BuffaloRebound Posted March 29, 2021 Share Posted March 29, 2021 Wow. I switch my pick from JOK to Phillips. He has Bruce-like bend and body control. If he can run that fast, he’s got the talent to be special. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But as I've said before, since none of us are team doctors, we'll never know what the true concern level is there. Personally, I don't let stuff that I can't get accurate information on or control factor into how I view players. The teams and doctors will sort out the medical stuff -- if its a concern, then the discussion is moot and he's off the board, but no sense in dealing with what-ifs and rumors when trying to get concrete evaluations... 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Multiple concussions that caused him to temporarily retire in college. Ankle and wrist injuries. His concussion history is a major concern and whoever takes him is taking a huge risk. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just rewatched Clemson and Alabama games. Uhhh, he really looks like nothing special to me. He was actually playing against future pro players in that one. But, admittedly, That is the only games I have looked at. Seems too small for a LB against the run and (maybe it was the Irish scheme) nothing special in coverage. 1 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Quick Twitter search pops these two up. Plenty good enough, but he doesn't win with athleticism anyway, so more of a box to check than a needle mover.

KOKBILLS Posted March 29, 2021 Share Posted March 29, 2021 I don't question Owusu-Koramoah's abilities...He's super intriguing as a prospect. My question is who goes to the sidelines when he comes in? And a player of this caliber should be considered as an every down player fairly early in his NFL career. Jordan Poyer is technically the Bills starting SS...He's not coming off the field. The Bills just paid Matt Milano...He's not coming off the field. He could take all of Klein's snaps, but he'd be a 220 lb SAM? Obviously he would be the guy for the big Nickle, but that's not a ton of downs unless it's vs the Pats... Now if you want to tell me he's going to take snaps from Edmunds on obvious passing Downs I'm all ears. I just doubt the Bills are... 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you remember, it took Milano a few years to fill out as well. Could easily see JOK at 230lbs, no problem and he is a big hitter. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He'd likely replace Taron Johnson since we play nickel defense on most downs. Hence the big nickel role. Yet I could us waiting on a guy like Divine Deablo in Round 3 for that role/develop and take a guy like Gregory Rousseau in Round 1 as fits what we like at DE in size and could step in to replace Addison or Hughes in 2021. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

To be honest, I wasn't that aware for JOK before this thread and this video. After seeing this, he is the PEFECT pick at 30, but yeah. He most likely won't be there.

BuffaloRebound Posted March 30, 2021 Share Posted March 30, 2021 I’d love to get JOK but Zaven Collins wouldn’t be a bad consolation prize. Collins is an impressive player who could solve our defending the Tight End problems. Big LB who can do it all. Covers good enough and allows you to play bigger in the back 7. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Taron is a starting slot CB who played on over 77% of Defensive snaps in 2021...Most of these NFL slots will eat a LB/S for lunch...Even one as good as Owusu-Koramoah. No offense at all but I'm not interested in Deablo that high...TDN has him #317 overall, and #169 on their Predictive board...And I trust TDN...So it's a pass on Deablo for me until much later in the Draft... Here's how Joe Marino summed up Deablo..."At the next level, it will be critical for Deablo to excel on special teams to give him an opportunity to develop his skill set and become more consistent across the board. As it stands, he’s an oversized safety that lacks versatility and has athletic limitations." I don't mind the Rousseau idea. If the Bills Scouts believe I trust them...But Rousseau is almost all projection at this point. I think he's got huge upside. But the last time he played he was a tall skinny kid...Now he was pretty damn good as a tall skinny kid I'll grant you that. But it's risky...

BuffaloRebound Posted March 30, 2021 Share Posted March 30, 2021 Working out with Phillips today did no favors for Rousseau. Phillips is a special athlete and made Rousseau look like Lurch. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Taron played 77% of the defensive snaps in 2020 and I think what you'd see is Milano play some SAM (he did it a bit in 2019) in base with JOK at WILL and then him play as the big nickel in 2 linebacker sets. The question as I posed above is do they still have a subset of plays they want Taron in the traditional nickel? If so how bit is that? And those two questions would need to be answered before they draft JOK. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Eastport bills Posted April 3, 2021 Share Posted April 3, 2021 If Etienne is there, he's the only player that will change the way teams will have to prepare to defend our offense, leaving Josh able to destroy defenses vertically. Travis can hit the holes, break tackles and be great in the screen game and running routes. A true 3 down back. If he's gone, one of the Miami edge guys or the corner from VT would be acceptable. I don’t see them drafting Jenkins, the OT , but he looks like a mauler. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
