Just Want A Title Posted April 30, 2022 Share Posted April 30, 2022 CBS Sports has this to say about Kirby Joseph: 97. Lions: Kerby Joseph, S, Illinois Grade: A One of the longest, rangiest-in-coverage safeties in this class. Hip-fluidity pops on film. Can really run. He'll be a playmaker in Detroit but has to trust his eyes and play with better reactionary skill. https://www.cbssports.com/nfl/draft/news/2022-nfl-draft-grades-tracker-analysis-for-every-third-round-selection/ 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Louis Friend Posted April 30, 2022 Share Posted April 30, 2022 I just realized the 3 Safeties we projected to the Lions the most (Cine, Brisker, Joseph) all ended up in the NFC North. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Superduperman Posted April 30, 2022 Author Share Posted April 30, 2022 This is going to be a case study on our coaches, by all accounts Kerby has the physical attributes and is still developing. Glenn and Pleasant were pro DBs and have high reputations. If they are as good as we think, they'll turn him into a great player. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He's only played one year at safety. He's a converted WR. He has great hands and gets his hands on alot of balls. But he's no where near a finished product. He definitely has a lot of upside and room for growth whereas guys like Cine and Brisker are already polished players. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Now that is a call back. I loved Hanks at Iowa when I was a kid. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Millenhater Posted April 30, 2022 Share Posted April 30, 2022 I really liked Kirby but he seems like a S prospect that I always over value every year. He doesn't look fast but he doesn't look slow. I think if his instincts improve his game speed will improve. Could be good. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BarryTheBest Posted April 30, 2022 Share Posted April 30, 2022 This fits what I was thinking after we passed on S in the second round. That is, grab a guy will great tools and upside, then let AG/AP go to work. Taking a look at our Secondary overall after this pic, we have a ton of athletes, guys for different uses, and youth. This of course is predicated on healthy returns of Okudah/Jacobs along with a Healthy season from Elliott. All things considered, this could be a deep and varied unit.

His instincts is what he lives on right now, it's proper technique he's still learning. Still tackles too high. I have no doubts he can learn alot from Aubrey Pleasant. Walker/Elliott/Joseph/??????????? Oruwariye/Okudah/Hughes/Melifonwu/Jacobs That's a damn good young raw secondary for Pleasant to develop and mold.

I saw some angle issues and there's some times where his processing is a little slow but I think that's a rep issue. I think he'll learn to trust himself and everything will speed up for him, but the dude has length and ball production which I always fall for. I had him as a top 50 player on my board so I like him. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He definitely needs work, but technique can be fixed. His instincts and feel for the game are top notch. I love Aidan and Jameson, but I think Kerby might be my favorite pick this year.
