|BlackJesus| Posted May 1 Author Report Share Posted May 1 He was the only defensive player I listed in the Day 2 thread yesterday. I only saw him play one game last year, but it was the OT thriller with OK State that went to like 4 OTs ... and he made the game winning tackle by flying on a blitz. And I remember thinking at the time, this guy is a gamer and brings the kind of energy that the Bengals need. An A+ pick. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I_C_Deadpeople Posted May 1 Report Share Posted May 1 Joseph Ossai ER/LB Texas by Drew Boylhart • February 25, 2021 STRENGTHS Joseph has the size, long arms, and work ethic to become more of an impact player at the next level than he was at the college level. He shows on film, solid agility skills and the stoutness against the run when playing on the edge, that most in this draft do not have. He does a good job rushing the passer and when playing off the ball shows an excellent burst to the play (when he commits) to make tackles behind the line of scrimmage. He has a good burst off the ball and the balance and hand strength to defeat his opponent once he identifies the play. Joseph has enormous, untapped talent and the more repetitions he gets the better he will become. I believe his impact position for the next level will be as a 4/3 defensive end. Playing one position and learning that one position will unleash this kids’ athletic talent to impact on any play, run or pass, in the future. CONCERNS Joseph needs to play one position and learn that position. If it’s as a linebacker off the ball or an edge rusher in a 3/4 defense or like I suggest a Defensive End in a 4/3 defense, until he learns just one position he will not have the impact, his talent suggest he should have. BOTTOM LINE 2.06 Joseph is one of those players who could easily be selected in the 1st round or easily drop until the 3rd or 4th rounds, it just depends on what position he plays for the teams that are evaluated him. I just see so much untapped talent in his film, especially when he is used, attacking the line of scrimmage as a defensive lineman. As an off the line linebacker, I see a lot of guessing and because he has the athletic talent to recover quickly, he does a good job but, that guessing at the next level will be a struggle for him to overcome. As a linebacker off the ball, his LTI, (length till impact) will be out there someplace. As a defensive end, give him a year to build up his lower body, and this kid will be in the double digits for sacks and tackles behind the line quickly. He has those strong hands and long arms that will allow him to be more consistent, setting the edge of the defense. When he tackles running backs, he wraps them up with those long arms, like a Python wrapping around its prey. You can check all the boxes on this kid and you will see, all he needs is time and repetitions to get better. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
|BlackJesus| Posted May 1 Author Report Share Posted May 1 His play reminded me of Kenneth Murray, the Chargers first rd LB drafted last year. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Passepartout Posted May 1 Report Share Posted May 1 Well he can play them all. But just stick him with one position and let him mature and grow. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

|BlackJesus| Posted May 1 Author Report Share Posted May 1 He is good at causing forced fumbles and plays with a burst that usually the Bengals don't have, but the Ravens and Squeelers covet. Reminds me of the kind of guy Ozzie Newsome would draft and turn into a pro bowler. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HavePityPlease Posted May 1 Report Share Posted May 1 I watched the media interview call with this kid, I think he's exactly what this defense needs. Super high motor, wants the ball, athletic gifts, but the best was just the kid's personality - smart, fun-loving, all about family. If you didn't get to see it, have some fun and watch it on the replay, he seems like a good dude. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Who would you have drafted @ 68 Yeah I'm sure a 4th round pick is going to step right in if Jonah goes to IR for the 3rd year in a row. Of course I don't want that to happen but at this point it's something to seriously consider and be prepared for.. And they refuse to consider it. As usual, they have this idealized notion and no reality check no matter how harsh can sway them. The only question is; do they genuinely not know, or do they not care? Anyway, hook 'em horns Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sea Ray Posted May 1 Report Share Posted May 1 I'm certain Riley Reiff is the #2 option at LT if Jonah goes down. It's his natural position 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
