All he does is spout stat lines.  

I doubt he's ever watched him play nor any other prospect for that matter. Probably reads a bunch from Walter football though.

You're obviously lying, but it would honestly be a whole lot worse if you really had watched three years of games and come away without a single thing to say.

I'm lying? Haha. Ok Google Scout

Many teams and scouts believed his weight in college was 270-275. He gained weight for the combine bc of those question marks. Then lost 6 lbs in less then a month between the combine and his pro day. That's bc being 287 lbs is not natural for him. His playing weight will be closer to 270 then 281.

What does any of that have to do with him being a dominant player at the college level? I'll answer it for you.....nothing.

Who in the top ten is going to trade us an extra 1st and 2nd to move up?? People on here don't want Oliver/Quinnen for the simple fact that they play a position we've spent a lot of draft capital on but are still weak in. IMO the only 2 teams that we have a chance at trading with are CIN and WAS both are out of the T10 and this isn't a very deep draft as far as T1 talent goes. I read today that half the people drafted in RND1 will likely have 2nd round grades. This isn't the draft to trade down in unless you get a massive haul. WAS would have to come up with 2 1st rounders 2 2nds and more picks. Unless that happens I'm staying at 3 and picking from Bosa/Allen/Oliver/Quinnen

I disagree. The teams to watch IMO are the The Buc's and Giants. Jameis Winston is in the last year of his rookie deal and could play a major role in this years draft. That coupled with Bowles supposed draft lobbying ability(I don't buy it but whatever) only add's to the intrigue. While I don't believe the Giants and Jets will ever make a deal the chance is there and there is a growing thread on it right now.

On Oliver/Q Q is not a nose tackle and Oliver is a little small for my tastes. Plus Oliver has suspect character and we all know how Macc stays away from those guys. The chance to trade out is there. It all depends on what the Cards do. I think a trade will be in play right up until the Jets make their pick. Especially if Murray is in play at 3.

I'm wondering what the primary sources were as to what teams and scouts thought Oliver weighed since he doesn't binge and purge scouting report word vomit.

He wasn't dominant. If you can't dominate against the better teams that are on your schedule than you are not a dominant player. Dominant means you are better than everyone on the field. You couldn't say that in 2-3 games this past season and he only played 8. That's not dominance.

No but obviously you do. Or someone reads it to you.

That's why I've been doing breakdowns on college players for a decade now and even started a thread on Oliver three years ago. Whether I am right or wrong I dangle my balls on the line and will continue to do so.

Ironically I don't believe I've ever seen you do one breakdown in that time.....not even one. You're a joke.

Which games? Who was better?

It wasn't a secret that his weight was an issue before the combine. That was literally the biggest question mark about him. Other than quitting on his team and screaming at his coach on the sideline.

You're either stubborn or just plain dumb although the two are not mutually exclusive.

You're trying to pass yourself off as some authority scouting figure on this site but I'm the joke? Congrats on your 10 year anniversary of breaking down players. Of course that doesn't mean you have any scouting ability whatsoever. It just means you waste a lot of time pretending to.

Olivers character is suspect? Because he argued with a coach who picked a fight with his star player over a jacket?? cmon...... no way the Bucs go QB they literally brought Arians in to work with Jameis. I'd take 6 and 17 from NYG but I'd also take a bj from Jennifer Aniston isn't gonna happen. Listen man I'd normally be with you if we could get good compensation for the pick but unfortunately we hold a top pick in a weak qb draft class.  If we could get #15,46,76 and then next years 1 and 2 from Washington I would do it IF we could swing #46 to SEA for Frank Clark. Then we know we've added an Elite edge presence and now we can look into snagging an OL at 15. Bradbury/Jonah at 15, #46 for Frank Clark. Then we'd have 3, 3rd round picks we could add another OL,WR and CB.

If you said that you didn't think Oliver would transition to the NFL we would not be having this discussion. You didn't.

You stated that he wasn't dominant in college and you are completely wrong. Players that have his accolades only do so because they were dominant in college. How ******* hard is that too comprehend? Players that win an Outland Trophy were dominant. How hard is that too comprehend? Players that are 3x First Team All Americans were dominant in college. How hard is that too comprehend?

How about this?

Well the Bucs could go either QB Or one of the top 3. Thats what the Bowles comment was about.

I also said I doubt the Jets-Giants make a deal but the speculation is there. I don't think it will be 6 and 17 like some think but 6+ could be in play. I would make a deal with ANY team if the compensation was right.

Macc shys away from guys with ANY issue. I don't see Oliver being on top of Maccs list. Oliver would slap the bug-eyes right out of Gase.

This is what kind of irritates me about the whole you're not my real GM deal. There are, and fairly obviously, I think, any number of people who do a better job at a harder version of a small part of this stuff than the actual guys do. I mean if superior access to information necessarily implied having a clue what to do with it there wouldn't be consultants. I don't think it's all that hard to develop a comfort level with getting a big picture to cohere from imperfect, incomplete, and often inconsistent glimpses and I don't think you do either but you have to remember how appallingly bad people are at this in general.

Go check what Oliver did against big College teams the last 2 years and get back to me. This dude is living off of 1 game against Oklahoma 3 years ago.

I checked for you. 2 games against Arizona and Texas Tech each. 4 total tfl and no sacks. Dominant!

lol

If we were going to play a strict 3-4 then I would agree with you because he is not a 0 or a 5 at the next level. Good news is he can play every other position even OLB if needed. I'm sure if we take him it will in part because Williams told Mac he will use him to the best of his abilities.

All you care about is the Spock ratings..  I'd wager a c-note that you didn't know the name Ed Oliver until you got your bath towel ready and pulled up how athletic these kids are.

It's also heightened now because you have the data movement finally catching on a bit in the NFL but most of the people in positions of power are old and set in their archaic ways. And unlike other areas that have already been revolutionized, proving value isn't quick or clean and far too many faux outliers exist that validate staying the course. (the senior citizens writing the checks are even further removed) 

But 100% for sure there's a significant portion of the fan base that would've never taken a guy like Hackenberg in Rd 2 but the guy with the conn here sure did and the safe assumption is that he hasn't gotten any smarter and will do it again.

I didn't know who most of these guys are as I don't watch college football. I only know as much as I need to know now because the Jets are likely taking one of them.

You are missing the point though if you think these are just numbers on a sheet in a vacuum somewhere. Every system starts with consensus scouting grades either as a direct input or a filter. From there the predictive nature of certain athletic benchmarks are pretty clear and Oliver hits every single mark and then some. Combined with the collegiate accolades Rob R has spent the few pages of this thread describing and it's a no brainer. You can see his athleticism on tape too very easily.
