Like the prospect but not the pick. Not a true off ball, not a big edge…juice for sub packages as he is electric athlete.

When you speculate as often as I do, you're bound to be right sometimes.

That said, I did wonder if they just wanted a DPR in this draft. They have the big boys already.

Makes me think if he plays inside, he will be utilized in blitz packages. He has an insane Pass Rush win rate.

Was looking at his yearly accolades, as a freshman on 2021, he had 11.5 sacks, plus he seems to be a FF machine, had 4 in 2023.

Oliver is set up to have a VERY hard road to a roster spot…edge is chalked full of Gary, LVN, Enagbare, Cox and Sorrell….if Oliver is looked at for off ball…you have Quay, Cooper, McDuffie, Welch, Simmons and Hopper and my UDFA crush Dumas Johnson….

The only way Oliver gets a meaningful chance to make the 53 is of Enagbare is to around, and even then, there are just a lot of guys ahead od him. Hard to get any snaps from that position. But he's still a good pick. Injuries and surprises happen all the time.

My immediate thought was he is a LB for us. But afterwards it sounds like we want a different option type at DE
Oliver becomes the first 2025 Packer draft pick to sign a contract.

Sounds like a 4 year $4.6M deal for the 5th round pick.

Great new! Why wait? Hope he got a decent signing bonus and he is wise with his money.
