YoloinOhio Posted May 1, 2019 Share Posted May 1, 2019 (edited) Quote 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 Edited May 1, 2019 by YoloinOhio 6 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lorax seems like the most likely candidate... for this year. He's the same age as Kyle. Just now, YoloinOhio said: Lorax/Hyde Forgot about Hyde.
