Kelvin Joseph over Jeremiah Owusu Koramoah

Joseph is a special teams baller, has balled out every time he's been asked to play corner this year in the regular season and even took an ejection to defend his teammates in the worst referreed regular season game in NFL history... I think Bossman is a keeper. I think he will be a stud CB2 across from Diggs very very soon. He is very fast, quick, talented and smart as a cornerback. Anthony Brown tries, but he's just not talented enough. Joseph is a baller, he will be a keeper and look like a fantastic pick very very soon.

Wow, high words of praise!
Hope you are correct in your evaluation !!!

He looks like a JAG. Another Chidobe Awuzie at best. JOK will be a Pro Bowl player. He would also allow the Cowboys to use Micah more as a pass rusher.

Lmao! Exactly what makes him look like a JAG?

I 100% would have taken JOK in round 2. In the Draft Zone I was saying that I thought he was going to be great in multiple threads. I believe he is what the modern NFL LB should be. Fast and aggressive to the ball, and is phenomenal in coverage. Even after taking Parsons in the first, I would have taken JOK if he was there in the second. Getting the additional 3rd from the Parsons move back would have allowed me to double dip at LB and still get a corner in the third.

Like some here have said, the Cox pick in the fourth mitigates much of the disappointment of missing out on JOK. Cox is very good in coverage and is going to eventually help out a lot. It just sucks that he’s out now for the year. He was going to play more and more as the seasons went on. Had he not torn his ACL, the thought of JOK playing with Parsons wouldn’t sting quite as much.

As for Joseph… I thought that physically, he was close to the best corner prospect in the draft. Athletically, that guy is special. However, I had concerns over his mental makeup and wondered if he could put it all together in the pros. He is the type of prospect that I tend to shy away from in the first 2 or 3 rounds, but to be fair I didn’t get to interview him and look at his background like Dallas did. For all I know, the team might be perfectly comfortable with him and without the nagging injuries, he could have put a lot of the questions to rest. We just won’t know until he stays healthy for a bit and gets some real snaps at corner.

So, while I’m excited about what Joseph can be in the Dallas secondary, I want to see him doing it on the field before I’ll call it the right pick. I hope he has his head on straight and can utilize all of that God-given talent for the team because he could absolutely help what is fast becoming a pretty good defense.

We have ZERO clue how Joseph will pan out still

I wanted JOK in the first and desperately Wanted him when he slipped.

The jury is definitely still out on Joseph, but he was neither the player or person I thought this team needed at that pick and nothing he’s done has changed that perception.

Bossman fat is the future .. .. .. .. .. of rap.

He will be fine

Only a matter of time before this knucklehead gets suspended for doing something stupid.

Another example of why you don't reach for positional need. JOK had a health issue which caused him to slip but it's relatively mild nothing like Jaylon Smith. I think he would have been an excellent scheme fit. LVE and Keanu Neal likely won't be back next season.

Let's get out of the first year before we do this man smh

LVE is a shell of the player as rookie in 2018....injuries have robbed him.....he is not even serviceable anymore....watched film study of every defensive play against Saints.....not sure what occured with Neal

is it that sickness going around?....or what?.....i hope Kelvin Joseph blossoms into a all pro or pro bowl CB

And then 6 years later when you see that LB in the Pro Bowl every year you can remind yourself you didn't select him because you had just signed a vet to a short term deal.

This is why you don't approach the draft like it's veteran free agency. One's to plug holes. The other's to acquire talent for your future.

Hey can you provide me with a team that consistently picks ProBowl players in the second round, would love to read about how they figure things out so well. this is more like a lottery in my mind in the second round, more projects than immediate help. Glad to know someone on the board has it all figured out.
