[QUOTE="OldSchool101, post: 1095625, member: 10086"] The other player that Matt said he thought was more a designated Pass Rusher is our 2025 RD5 Colin Oliver. I think many see RD5 and it turns them off a little. 2025 was a very strong DL class in the middle draft area and it’s why I believe we took a pair. Again same story, Colin had injury concerns stemming from College but he’s a player that brings exceptional traits that transfer. Speed, Magnet to the ball, disruptive, instincts. There’s zero question had he finished 2024 on his 2 game start trajectory (that like Cox Jr, was a continuation of his previous season high level contributions) he would’ve been squarely in contention for a Top 100-125 type prospect in a STRONG D class pool. Oliver also started fast in College by garnering immediate accolades and attention the second he got on that field. I didn’t like that they moved him around to LB in College, that backed him up imo, but Colin still was very effective. Just not his ideal role, but it did show he’s capable of impact at wherever they put him. The only reason I wouldn’t put Oliver as Top 100 is he’s not ideal size. He’s sort of in between sized but smaller for a Pass Rusher. It’ll take someone really smart to figure out how to best use him. He’s the quintessential prospect that Scouts talk about when they say “he’s going to have to fit and be used in the correct role or he’ll fail” [/QUOTE]
