DT Ed Oliver - perfect choice at #6 overall pick

SaqBar999 : 1/8/2019 11:29 pm
Assuming Bosa/Quinnen/Josh Allen (clear Top 3) off the board

This dude Oliver is incredible at pushing and disrupting the pocket up the middle. Every time he has 1 blocker on him, he pushes his guy back. The rest of the time, he is doubled/tripled.

Gerald McCoy 2.0

Gettleman loves his DTs

Would be a 3-4 DE in this scheme next to Hill and Tomlinson

he played great all year 50tds and 8 int. I think he did more than just great.
He wasn't as "great" as those stats would seem

Haskins wasn't better than Darnold at their respective bests.

He needs to have a big Combines to ease the concerns, and I don't think the skill is there.
We'll find out in April on Haskins

but I thought the people saying Haskins were doing it to get a rise out of the OP, who seems to be a troll fixated on Haskins.



Other than B, I think the others were legitimately stating their preference for Haskins. Brace yourself because any attempt to discuss other prospects for the next 3 1/2 months will be drowned out by those who are incapable of processing an opposing thought with cries for Haskins. What will be even worse, is that when Haskins is sitting there at #6 and DG chooses a different player, we will be treated to the summary conclusion that DG is an old, slobbering, fool who has no idea what he is doing. The Sammy Sycophants have quieted down only to prop up their latest idol.


Well, you were wrong and Fatman was right. I was most definitely fucking with the troll OP. I can't believe this thread took off with actual discussion. IMO people need to not seriously engage these trolls.

had 3 sacks this year. 3. Aaron Donald he ain't and the reason why so many first round DL's fail, is from teams projecting pass rush that never shows up. Any pundit saying he is like Aaron Donald hasn't looked at the numbers and is making a dangerous projection.
Haskins has answered all the questions he can  
Zeke's Alibi : 1/9/2019 1:46 pm : link
Urban gave him way more responsibility in moving through progressions than his past qbs. The biggest question mark is usually the one that seperates the men from the boys though and that is his ability to throw with pressure in his face. Scouts are going to have to do their due dilligance there with the small sample size.

Mayfield was my number one guy last year and to me the only question mark was the same one I have for Haskins. How is gonna perform with pressure in his face. His size didn't bother me because he's built rock solid. Mayfield's accuracy is on another level though.

You don't judge a DT by Sack totals, and he also missed 4 games.

You judge a DT by how he disrupts the pocket.

Oliver is not a fit. He's a 3T DT, not a 4T or 5T in a base 3-4. Gettleman will not draft him. He is smart. Imagine him watching film on Oliver and thinking he's a fit as a 3-4 DE. hahahaha! Completely delusional.

While I would be happy with Oliver at 6 DE isn't a huge need IMO if the Giants re-sign Mario Edwards and Josh Mauro. Edwards was a pleasant surprise for the Giants. He is still young and improving. You can never have enough depth on the DL though. I would prefer to see Tomlinson move back to the 5 technique but the Giants have to add a NT to the roster.

No, dumb shit, YOU are delusional for thinking the Giants want Haskins.

Is there any information that supports this statement or are you one of those people who post their opinions as fact? The truth is nobody knows what the Giants will do in the draft that is over 4 months away.
Whereas I'm not looking at prospects r now, but  
idiotsavant : 1/9/2019 2:22 pm : link
It's true that some fans tend to conflate past draft order trends, i.e. positional expectations, i.e. such as the expectations of a QB or wr or edge rusher within the top 3...with actual value measures.

Imho value is measured on an individual player basis based on how unusual or outstanding any player is based on VS all the others ...ever... at that position.

If your prospect is faster, more mobile, smarter or more football instinctive, bigger, stronger, loves the game more than most at that position,.... ever...., they go early... top rounds.

NOT "the top (name any position) usually goes high in Rd X"

It does have value to know those trends, but they don't offer value in terms of your measure of actual players. That's market knowledge. Trends. Which you try to play to take advantage of the overall market. But:

If the best X any position this year = a 2nd or 3rd rounder in previous years, they still should go in 2 or 3.
They might go higher, but that's doesn't indicate true value. Market value, yes.

Each draft is different.

Del, it's about fit. In a 3-4, his value is greater if he's a NT, and less if he's a DE.

In a 4-3, he makes more sense as a DT.

The argument could be made that our 1 gap 3/4 works is more similar to a 4/3 than a traditional 3/4.
We don't run a traditional 3-4 though  
AcesUp : 1/9/2019 2:36 pm : link
Our DEs aren't really asked to anchor, they're playing 1 gap and asked to get up field. That is the thing that Oliver does exceptionally well, potentially rare ability there. Personnel wise, there's some overlap with Hill and they do appear to want more length at the other end spot but he is a scheme fit here.
And anyone that only saw Oliver play this year  
Zeke's Alibi : 1/9/2019 2:38 pm : link
needs to see him his Fresh and Soph years. Not sure why his play declined this year but he was unreal as a fresh and aoph.

I get it, but DG has been showing 4-3 players the door and importing 3-4 players. That suggests they're possibly in transition like much of the roster and blueprint.

Certainly a possibility. Betcher gives me the vibe of a guy that will tailor his defense to the talent though and Oliver is a helluva talent. He comes out last year he's first defensive player off board imo. Due dilligance from him is going to come from what information they can get from inside the weight room on him. Does he pssess the pure strength that Darnold has?

Dave on the UWS : 1/9/2019 3:32 pm : link
if Gettleman thinks when he’s on the clock, that Haskins is the BPA he will take him. If not he won’t. Any discussion at this point before all star games, combine, personal meetings, pro days, etc., is pointless. We will see what April brings.
I was uncertain about Darnold, but it taught me it is important  
Zeke's Alibi : 1/9/2019 3:33 pm : link
to recognize the NFL has changed a ton. No way I'd be stumping for Mayfield ten years ago, but he's practically the prototypical NFL QB now. Being mobile and having consistent pinpoint accuracy are the two most important traits a QB can have now. Mobility keeps the chains moving and the accuracy creates the YAC, which is really where big plays in the NFL come from now.
I actually believe frame size is way more important than height in NFL

Never heard that. Oliver was the 4th ranked played in the HS Class of 2016. Had offers from all of the top schools. It was a surprise he stated at home in Houston. Was really trying to help the program.

So being a top NFL draft prospect in no surprise here...

No evidence, but I think he sort of mailed it in this year to save himself for the draft. His frosh and soph years were very, very good in all facets...
