calfoxwc Posted May 11, 2021 Report Share Posted May 11, 2021 or maybe the second after Newsome? I was going to do one more mock draft and draft a lb, but it was so convoluted I gave up. But Owusu has intrigued me from the beginning. I watched his film the first time, and I realized he is a playmaker like Troy Pollywearsatutu was for the squealers. I'm serious. Maybe nobody else sees that, but I saw it, still do. He has the instincts and speed and amazing athleticism to just blow plays up. To have gotten him in the second round is freaking amazing. I swear the squealers would have drafted him in the second, if the Browns hadn't traded up. Freaking brilliant.

calfoxwc Posted May 11, 2021 Author Report Share Posted May 11, 2021 interesting - this analysis says his one weakness is his size. He's 6'1", 215. Pollyneedstotakapupu was 5'10", 207. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dutch Oven Posted May 11, 2021 Report Share Posted May 11, 2021 Cal calls JOK a linebacker but can't understand why his size is considered a possible weakness, and his reponse is comparing him to a player who was a safety. Quality stuff here. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But I do agree we moved up on a dropping 1st rounder ahead of Pitt whom I think would have taken him. So he was a double steal in my way of thinking, once for the spot we took him and once for denying him to a rival. The other thing I liked about our overall draft was speed. Can't fix slow but you can fix players with speed under good coaching. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

nickers Posted May 11, 2021 Report Share Posted May 11, 2021 My biggest fear with this kid is that on some plays he naturally leads with his helmet... But I've seen plays where he leads with his shoulder... My point being is.. If this kid is what I think he is.. They might create rules because of him... I'm just glad he's on our team...

I wonder if he’s been hit with targeting? How often? That will tell you what you need to know. The College game errs on the side of caution.

Cover the elite TEs, come on a blitz, great in run support.

Quality stuff here. I agree that JOK "only" has safety size.... How will he fare in run support when teams put an offensive lineman on him- they're going to outweigh him by 100 pounds. I'm not unhappy with the pick- but I learned my lesson long ago to not gush about a guy we just drafted... Time will tell... 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tiamat63 Posted May 16, 2021 Report Share Posted May 16, 2021 My goal within the next 30 days was to go through and watch the full season for all of our draft picks, including a couple notable UDFA (Wilson, mostly) Decided to start with JOK in the season opener against Duke as opposed to Newsome first. Kid can fly, but like any young player attempting to get the mentals of the position down, what I saw has me raising some questions that I'm hoping are answered by film as the 2020 season progresses in my viewings. Won't be posting much until I have the entire season knocked out or barring a huge off-season move. See you boys around Memorial Day. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
