billspro Posted March 3, 2019 Posted March 3, 2019 I don't believe the DT position has a huge impact on games. Oliver may have the pass rush ability to make an impact. I would much prefer Jawaan Taylor but it is looking like he might go top 5. Oliver would be a nice consolation prize.

For me a top 10 DT has to have a (potential of course)significant affect to the pass rush. Q Williams and Oliver absolutely do for me, and C Wilkins I think just makes it in there for me as well.

A DT needs to clog the middle, freeing up LB'ers firstly. A dominant pass rush is just gravy and sets them apart as a force to be reckoned with. That said, Oliver is that force
MrEpsYtown Posted March 4, 2019 Posted March 4, 2019 This is the guy I think I want at this point. I think he is Geno Atkins. And I also love about ten other defensive guys. I wonder though, where does Trappaso have Mason Rudolph going?

A great pass rushing DT has dramatically risen in importance as offenses have focused more on getting the ball out quick. In back to back Super Bowls Fletcher Cox and Aaron Donald have had a big impact on not allowing Brady to get comfortable. The back to back NFL Defensive MVP is a DT who profiles similar to Oliver, I don't see how you can say they don't have a huge impact on games.

If you don’t have decent DTs, maybe 3-5 teams you will struggle to stop the run. If you make a list of the most important positions DT is way down there for me.

Both were considered top overall picks at points in their college careers. I see the talent but this seems like a boom or bust selection. one off incident. Silly and foolish all around. But c'mon. You don't take clothes off a cold grown man to send some dumb message. NFL players get at least this level of respect from coaches for the most part as professionals. I don't see a problem. Funny story though.
