kkuenn 3,613 Posted May 16, 2019 Author Share Posted May 16, 2019 2016 1st round pick, 20th overall. 5th year option declined by Jets so he will be a FA in 2020. Bet we probably extend him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FANATIC 852 Posted May 16, 2019 Share Posted May 16, 2019 Hope this works out. Would have liked Collins instead. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well Lee is 232 pounds so he probably plays the William's or O Daniel role. Be good to have depth then whoever he takes for a spot. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kkuenn 3,613 Posted May 16, 2019 Author Share Posted May 16, 2019 https://www.ourlads.com/nfldepthcharts/player/27270/ Ourlads' Profile: 2016 Guide: What Ourlads' NFL Scouting Services said about DARRON LEE: Ohio State, 6006 232 4.47.

Blitzes gaps well and has a burst chasing with good range in pursuit. Is normally a secure tackler adjusting to movement and cuts in space. Takes very good pass drops and recognizes run pass quickly. Tough to fool as he reacts well to play action pass, getting in the throwing lane. Good re-route of receivers. He can cover the inside pass catchers. Tends to struggle more in the box. A powerful lineman can knock him off the ball. Has outstanding ability to change gears and recover when out of position. Possesses very good tools and elite athletic ability.

liquidfriend 1,151 Posted May 16, 2019 Share Posted May 16, 2019 Think this happened really fast once the Jets canned the GM. He's pretty cheap depth and quick and perhaps Reid Jr. can build him up some so they can get a higher 2021 comp pick in return. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kkuenn 3,613 Posted May 16, 2019 Author Share Posted May 16, 2019 Good coverage LB, not great against the run. Seems to be another O Daniel? Graded out good for pff. Reading on him a bit, seems to not like to make contact at point of attack. Hopefully a change of scenery and being able to play in a new system works for us. https://www.profootballfocus.com/nfl/players/darron-lee/10654 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mloe68 1,521 Posted May 16, 2019 Share Posted May 16, 2019 I’ve been complaining about our lack of diversity and coverage ability at linebacker for a while. Nice pickup by Veach. Improving former first round young guy too if they can get him to buy in could become good starter. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
liquidfriend 1,151 Posted May 16, 2019 Share Posted May 16, 2019 They could kick Lee in at weakside, Hitchens at Mike and just gotta figure out strongside after that. Trade Ragland for some big league chew. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was worried that Rags would get a shot to start there. He is just depth now, if he sticks at all. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kkuenn 3,613 Posted May 16, 2019 Author Share Posted May 16, 2019 William's will be SLB. DOD I believe is the better pass rusher out of him and Lee but Lee is the better pass coverage guy. It may come down to situational at times but whoever can show they can defend against the run may take the starting spot. Lee should have an edge right now due to experience itself at the LB position and game time play Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He’s gotta get that piece before I’ll pile on accolades. But if he does, it’s been a pretty extraordinary offseason for him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He’s gotta get that piece before I’ll pile on accolades. But if he does, it’s been a pretty extraordinary offseason for him. I feel like they have a definite direction here, and I like it. I could be wrong, but this is how I interpret the building of the defense. There's going to be less emphasis on edge rushers. We are going to stock guys in the back 7 that can cover and knock receivers off of routes, but also speedier guys. This in turn leaves me believing that there's going to be a bit of creativity within the defensive scheme, going back to my first point about less emphasis on pure edge rushers. I'm thinking a Steelers style defense, cover the receivers, disguise your blitzers, and run varying zone blitzes to try to keep the QB uncomfortable. I don't look for this team to be overly stout against the run, but much improved from last year, I'm guess in the 15-20 ranking league wide. I think it's going to be vastly improved against the pass, and this whole thing is by design. Our offense is going to score points. Lots of points. I think the overall plan here is to win track meets, as we have an unreal QB who is a year more experienced, so the goal is for the offense to take the opposing running game off the table, while the defense creatively finds ways to pressure the QB, and get nasty on the turnovers. I could be wrong, but this is just how it seems to me the plan is falling out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sith13 1,746 Posted May 16, 2019 Share Posted May 16, 2019 Front 7 went from nonexistent to decent relatively quickly. Now if Veach can fix the secondary we should be in for a SB run. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
