Linval Joseph

from one mock-

 

72. Buffalo Bills

Linval Joseph, DL, East Carolina

The Bills need a big DL to clog up the middle. Joseph, who is coming late to the NFL Draft party, is quickly rising up boards. Could end up in round 2 when all is said and done.

 

Joseph is a big body who could line up at nose tackle in a 3-4 front or interior defender in a 4-3 scheme. He is somewhat one dimensional as a run defender. He flashes ability to anchor well when he keeps his pads down but can be very inconsistent in this area. He has strong arms and hands to control blockers but can be slow to shed to the pile. He has decent quickness between the tackles but lacks range outside the box. He flashes power to collapse the pocket as a bull rusher but needs to expand his pass-rush package to become more effective in this area. Joseph has enough size and strength to push for a starting role along the defensive line, but weight and durability concerns likely will affect his draft status.

Everything positive on him has BUT after.
