Does Oliver seem to be the high character guy DG wants

yatqb : 4/18/2019 5:40 pm
for our culture?

I tend to think not. Cursing out his head coach in college, then having a terrible visit in Philly. Forget undersized; the guy seems like a hostile kid.
No he doesnt

I think its Sweat if one of the big 3 don't fall or no trade up.
Those are 2 pretty bad

incidents that GM's will be well aware of.
What did I miss?

What happened on his visit to Philly?
Keep him

In a cage and feed him raw meat till game time....kill Ollie kill lol
No, which is why I don't think he's the pick.

Shame, because he's the kind of disruptor we could use on the D-line. Top of the first round guys need to be super clean prospects.

They said the meeting went poorly and the Eagles have removed him from their board. Who knows how true it is?

Same was said about Guice last year with Philly and it never made sense. The more time that went by the more positive stuff came out about Guice. Now, this doesn't mean that Oliver is not an issue in that area but I tend not to put stock in the bad Philly visits.
"Da Monster" redux?

Load of talent, and I want my players to have an edge, and I don't expect saints, but I don't like the guy. In addition to those incidents, body language and behavior can tell you things about a player too, and what I'm reading is, "It's all about me!"

Still, he is one of the players the Giants are reported to have had a private meeting with. Guess they checked him out pretty well.


Thats the big question here with Oliver  
Giantz_comeback : 4/20/2019 11:40 am : link
And what separates him even more from Q Williams who has excellent character and his interviews were among the best of the top guys .

When DG said he gave a perfect grade to Barkley, Williams I'm betting is going to be pretty close.

Oak may have him closely graded or Allen to Q.Williams, make the trade with Oak.

that game in question. The coach was an absolute dick and that was the boiling point. Guy was constantly being passive aggressive about Oliver being insistent on being healthy to play as to not jeopardize his career. Oliver is a guy that wanted to build his hometown program and sacrificed a lot to play there.

The philly report? They have the 25th pick of course they are going to put some bullshit out there and hopefully he drops into the teens were they can trade up for him. Maybe they think it can actually happen as he needs to be in the right scheme.
Here's a trip down memory lane

About how the Giants added character via the 2014 draft.

All but one player was a team captain. And all but one player sucked.
The one exception was OBJ

I had a terrible visit in Philly once.
Once.
Please trade up with Jets  
GothamGiants : 4/20/2019 12:02 pm : link
Land Allen or Q Williams. The Jets are adamant about moving down ... could be win/win.

The coah was fired for being an arrogant Ahole among other things...  
Torrag : 4/20/2019 12:41 pm : link
...and a bad visit with Philly is a plus not a minus.
I heard the story for the first time on the radio today

The coach had a problem with his best player wearing a jacket on the sideline because he was injured and not playing? I'd flip my lid over that too
