'17 VA ATH Jeremiah Owusu-Koramoah (Notre Dame Signee)

[Southside Sully]

Top-20 pick

Ive seen him at 13 to the Broncos in a few mocks. Fangio would salivate over him.

 

[rtrn2glory]

He's a bigger Devin Bush and the Steelers snagged him in the teens. I don't expect JOK to go any lower than that.

It'll be interesting to see what his 40 is. I don't think it'll be quite as fast as Devin Bush and Devin White. Probably high 4.4s

I agree. Just a freak of nature

TIL Jeremiah had offers from Princeton, Yale, Dartmouth, and West Point. Damn.

13. DENVER BRONCOS – LB JEREMIAH OWUSU-KORAMOAH, NOTRE DAME
Is he a safety, or is he a linebacker? I’m not sure it matters, as he’s the type of versatile coverage player you want in today’s NFL. He’s allowed only 197 yards on 31 targets this season while often playing a role that would be classified as slot corner in the NFL.

We are going to miss this guy. He played hard and grew a lot on the field. Good luck JOK.

 

[#1rish]

McShay has him going to the Broncos at #9 in his latest mock.

I was actually wondering if he would go inside the top-10 considering the latest trend of Butkus winners:


Simmons - 8th overall
White - 5th overall
Smith - 8th overall

 

[rtrn2glory]

Going to be a pretty good payday if he lands in the top 10

 

[GATTACA!]

I was hoping the Browns would draft him. Looking like they might not get the chance.

When's the last time a Browns fan got to say something like this??

Damn Browns are always passing on Irish players. They never draft them anyway. Wish they would, I like to follow Irish guys in the NFL more than I follow the Browns these days.

...DeShone Kizer in shambles.

Jeff Faine was a first-round pick in the early 2000s.

Aside from those guys, the only other Irish guys that wound up at the Browns were Brady and I think Jamoris Slaughter might have gotten picked up as an UDFA briefly. That's not a lot of guys in about 20 years. Brady got the short end of the straw too, he spent several years in the league and had some starts for other teams. He should have spent a few years behind a good vet on a decent team.

Owusu-Koramoah is listed as a linebacker but you can find him all over the field -- and he may eventually end up at safety at the next level. He can come off the edge and has the athleticism, speed and change of direction to be an asset in coverage,​

Green BAy should be jumping through the roof if he falls to them.

 

[Irish YJ]

Colts have bigger needs, but I'd love to see JOK paired with Leonard. Move Leonard to MIKE and let JOK have WILL. Delicious...

 

[zelezo vlk]

Man I really hope there's a combine this year. Would love to see how Wu tests

If he falls to Green Bay, I'll drop kick Ryan Pace and Matt Nagy.

Bears have so many problems, I wish he would be an answer, but we have bigger fish to fry

Very true, but you know they'll jack up the pick somehow.

All you had to do was listen to todays press conference.. Complete incompetence.

 

[#1rish]

I just don't see JOK falling outside the top 20, let alone to the 30s

 

[GoIrish41]

I’d like to me to see him step into Jenkins’ old position with the Eagles.

Eagles could take literally anyone. That roster is awful.

 

[Some Irish Bloke]

I agree, as exciting as it is to imagine that scenario, I think someone will see his potential and jump on him before 20. Especially if he has a chance to compete at the combine, his stock will rise even more. Don't see him going to GB between 25-32.

 

[P_Rose]

I know most of you don't like the Cowboys, but I would love to see them draft Wu. They need safety/linebacker help bad, and it would be awesome to see him and Jaylon out there playing together. I see him being in the mold of a Darren Woodson or Roy Williams bringing some thump back to the secondary.

I love the Cowboys, and they need secondary help most with likely departures of 2cbs and 1 safety all from same draft class. JOK would be perfect at safety for them, BUT he is not being mentioned much because Cowboys never invest in safeties since Woodson left. Pipe dream he goes to Boys but I would love it if he did.

1st Round - Pick 17
Las Vegas Raiders
Jeremiah Owusu-Koramoah · LB
School: Notre Dame | Year: Junior (RS)

Owusu-Koramoah is a dynamic athlete at the second level of the defense. He can cover in the slot if needed and he's an excellent blitzer. The Raiders need to address the pass rush, too, and that could be an option here with this pick.
