The most consistently successful personnel executives and evaluators will tell you that you’re far more likely to extract the most out of a draft by focusing on what players can do than what they can’t do. Eliminating a player’s potential positives can be a way to cover one’s behind, just in case things don’t work out. It takes more of a backbone to pound the table for a prospect when that prospect’s abilities are hidden in a bad scheme fit. Every year, there are draftable players who must be evaluated in isolation and projected to a team’s specific philosophies, because the systems they worked through in college did not benefit them at all.

In the case of the 2019 draft, Houston defensive lineman Ed Oliver stands apart and alone as a singular athletic talent who will be a next-level force in the NFL if he’s given half a schematic opportunity.

Fortunately for Oliver, he will get just that opportunity

Oliver is going to be a terror for QB’s like R Kelly is for underage girls.

Since you put it that way.... No, nevermind. I got nothing. Lmao

The McDermott defense is tailor made for Oliver to play 3 tech.  It is literally the perfect system for him.

Good luck replacing that in a locker room.

I cannot wait to see this guy have a multiple sack game against Josh Rosen. Welcome to the AFC east cupcake

 

Will Rosen survive the first sack to reach “multiple”?

Who's the leader of our D now, anyway?  

 

Gonna have to be Jerry or the Lorax.  I doubt Eddo has those kind of chops yet.

Lorax seems like the most likely candidate... for this year.  He's the same age as Kyle.
