Ed Oliver

[atljbo 20,511]

 

1. Yea he is athletic *** ****.

2. He seem to have good enough length for his size (arm length)

3. I dont think he is 6'3 ... He looks like he is maybe 6'1

4. I would be SHOCKED... SHOCKED I SAY... If he comes in at 285lbs... Im praying he hits 275lbs

 

I think teams will over think it with him .... I hope they do.. If he gets to 10 i would package a 3rd rounder to get him

[Ergo Proxy 19,734]

We have to nail UFA to have luxury of moving up for him, but he’s one guy I’d move up for if he fell enough.

But still...

[kiwifalcon 17,943]

I wish I could see more of those violent hands in game film.

Movement Strength and athletically he’s a beast.

[Atl Falcon 2,670]

Rumor has it he’s closer to 275....of course he can water down at the combine

[AtlantaFanatic 5,246]

Fix the O-line or continue to struggle. Do NOT trade up for anyone Falcons. We neee the draft picks.

i disagree because we have a 4th and 5th round comp pick .... I wish he would slip to 14 and we all good ...

 

We could have a Ridley type situation (just slide to us) ...

 

im very interested to see how this draft falls..... I think we grab a RT at 14 but we will see

 

i really dont want to trade up tho.... it could get interesting tho

[Ergo Proxy 19,734]

@atljbo I’m down if we got a lot of work done in FA and really see him clearly above other DL we might consider at 14; presuming our 1st rounder will be a DL by the time draft day comes along.

My gut says I don’t know, but could see it happening if the scenario unfolded that way. Idk on the cost overall to move up. Round 1 trade ups can be costly.

[Rise 649]

They're drafting CB at #14.

TD has been quoted as being concerned with coverage or the lack thereof. (per the Falcoholic website).

It could be "deceptive-Smoke", but I doubt it.

 

Falcon CB depth is already thin, and short (with Kazee and Poole filling-in at FS).

This also tells-me that one of the top 3 CBs will not be back next offseason.

In a draft full of DL-talent before pick #14, most of the top-6 DL will all be gone by then.

I suspect a run-stuffer like "Snacks Harrison" as a Free Agent.

#14:

CB, OT/OG Risner, or a trade-down for the FS from Alabama

Our corners had a down, year but i'm not jumping ship just yet. A rookie corner is not likely to make an immediate impact. Much thinner at interior DL than Trufant, Alford, Oliver, Pool... with 3 very capable safeties as well. 

[CrimsonFalcon 3,812]

Is his stock suddenly rising?  Just about every mock I've seen had him going to us at 14.

Could he be moved outside to rush DE and inside on passing downs? I don’t like him as a FT DT for the reasons you said

Could happen. Greedy or Baker could be there. Baker is pro ready IMO

im keeping a watch on prospect visits. If we invite Thompson in for a workout that means Rico’s injury was worse or he’s cut and we view Kazee as a nb.

personally, the range of Thompson is amazing. I’d love for us to get a true centerfielder

[falconfreak1 251]

Is he praticeing for for football or to be a ninja. I can’t tell.

Just need a few QB hungry teams ahead of us to over-draft QBs.....

No matter what, we’re gonna get a good player at #14...

Hehe. I love the hand work drills. After watching Beasley have zero moves to get gets off him, I would love a guy who knows how to use his hands.

Do that drill 5k more times so that it is second nature. You wont always win with speed, better have a backup plan.

[Stryka 1,799]

He looks to be more in the Micheal Bennett type of guy. A strong base DE who can slip inside in nickel. Rashan Gary is another guy who could provide the same. We dont need 3 of the 250 lbs speed rushers. We need s big DE who is stout vs run as well.

Haven't had a DT drafted top 10 since 2011 but okay

Could just cut Alford and start Oliver. Kazee moved to NCB when Allen is healthy 

[FalconFanSince1970 22,751]

Jbo I thought you were a Simmons guy?

out dline could not put any pressure on qbs this year thats why our cb’s looked bad. fix the d@mn line.

Not doubting that DTs are not big in the top 10, I remember the Jets getting Leonard Williams in 2015 off the top of my head as some of us wanted him but he went two spots ahead of Vic.

Edit:  I just looked it up and he is listed as a DE in the draft (though he plays DT).

[Fernando C. 491]

We need to make a good OL signing in FA... DT should be the pick at 14 either Simmons, Oliver or Wilkins.. then get a good OL in the 2nd round.. no need to trade up.. also its a very good TE class we should grab a good one with our 4th rounder..

[Osiruz 9,213]

Lots of good Dline players are available, and personally I like the Clemson guys. Only player I would move up for is RT Jonah Williams who can fortify our OL for years. Then all we need is some good G's and Suh in FA.

[Artys Arryn 1,447]

I'm hesitant to move up, but I'm all in on Ed Oliver. People talk about freaks of nature and he is the prime example. I love Christian Wilkins and Jeffrey Simmons but when it comes down to it, Ed Oliver is my bet to becoming an All-Pro. I'll be at the draft this year and I think you'll hear me yelling from the stands if we get Oliver at 14.

Not really, we still have extra 4th and 5th round comp picks to play with.
