Though....OOPs again, that is Jamie Gillan's number. Though I don't know that I agree with it. I preferred it when LBs were always 50 numbers. Or, maybe he can have 66. And I always liked it when WRs were in the 80s. I think the issue there was that too many teams were retiring too many numbers. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Athlon's Draft Mag rates him as their #2 OLB; and that's only because they're projecting Micah Parson's as an OLB (with their #1 rating). In Athlon's Top 100 prospects, he's listed at #11 overall. Lindy's field media top 100 - he's #18 overall. Looking at those films and a lot of what I've read and heard from his biggest fan (Daniel Jeremiah) - his skills will be ideal for the NFL today. It's going to be a lot of fun listening to people trying to say his name. Just add alcohol... I think I'll stick with JOK. This pick feels like an epic steal. 1 1 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mike The thing with judging LBs today is I tend to get distracted by the types I loved in the 70s, 80s and 90s. They say you can't teach and old dawg tricks but I majored in summer school. I still find myself looking for ideal heights, weights and BIG hit reputations; but the game and rules today are phasing that out some for the sure tacklers in open fields that can also strip the ball. If reading their keys and mastering coverages isn't enough of a challenge for young LBers; now add the athletic and speedy QBs of today taking off out of the pocket that countless defenders never seem to get a clean shot at (ie; Lamar Jackson, Russell Wilson, Kyler Murray, DeShaun Watson). JOK looks like he offers the goodies our Defense needs. And I've seem some highlights where he looks very capable of delivering the collisions on guys ending in smelling salt wake ups. Even better, he's not leading with his head - so he doesn't look like an unconscious Greg Lloyd that just got freight trained by Kevin Mack.

I've been saying that this draft will probably define what this regime wants the Browns to be. Last year was about 'becoming' a team, with the new coackes, GM, Playbook, etc. And the draft was to get some guys to immediately fix big problems (like the 2 tackle positions). They had very few picks to look for their 'vision' players. We are now seeing their motto: Fuckin' Fast ! (from now on I'll refer to it as 'Friggin') I mean look where they went for the WR! There were other receivers rated higher than the one we took. But the one that WE took runs like a jack-rabbit. Steph, Woods & Berry are going for speed. Ya can't teach it.

Mike I keep watching videos of him - and it occurred to me, that the squealers would have drafted him in that second round - they miss having a blazing fast playmaker like Troy Wannacheapshotyu...who made crazy plays all over the place with his speed and instincts. He won't be just a WILL lb, Joe Woods will have him be the focus of attention by offenses... they had better know where he is to start every play. The Browns will be able to disguise plays that they couldn't do before, I think. Any creative DC would have loved to nab Owusu-Kamorah. I swear the squealers were going to nab him. The Browns knew they had to jump ahead. Going to be FUN to watch ! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I looked it up - Tyreek HIll of the Chiefs? ran a 4.29 forty. https://www.sportskeeda.com/nfl/what-tyreek-hill-s-nfl-40-yard-dash-time#:~:text=One drill stood out more than the rest,a top speed of 19 miles per hour.

Not to mention the wide receiver reached a top speed of 19 miles per hour. " Everybody knows how much Hill means to the Chiefs' offense. and Anthony Swartz ran a 4.26. Freaking FAST.

"Little undersized" is why he dropped that far. He's going to be taking on TEs that have 30 pounds and several inches on him. Worth the risk. 1\2 of second round picks bust anyway.

Prototypical size-and if you ever saw him play- poor running backs looked like they had been hit by a freight train. Lewis wasn't a lightweight either at 245, and the reason he fell into the second round was a lousy 40 time. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
