    Wow, excellent prospect. Really like his game and will be in play with the Seattle pick. My guess is Najee plays himself into the top 20 and we will also have a shot at Etienne and maybe Bateman here but love what I see from Olave.

    Ya I started a thread on him a while ago. He pops off the screen as an elite route runner with speed. Reminds me of Odell

    He went from a round 2 pick to top 20 pick

    Not a big fan of Olave. He reminds me a lot of Ted Ginn Jr. I know @IIMeanDeanII disagrees with me but we'll see. Long strider, good on the sidelines, don't trust him to move the chains over the middle. Fields was significantly better with him in the lineup though.

    Im not sold on him from an NFL standpoint. Although I think he will find success. My main concern for me is his size. He is a fantastic route runner though that can create separation.

    ...but can he consistently get off the line against press? Im not sure. I would take him in the back half of the 2nd. Early third. I'm not sure I would go higher than that though honestly.

    Never heard of him before this thread but open-minded.

    Really? He’s being mocked as a late first rounder now. I know he’s slender but he creates separation which is all that really matters in this league tbh.

    Olave against Surtan is going to be a great match up

    Will probably learn more about Surtain than Olave

    I'm just being honest, I try to avoid being a homer. lol

    I think he could be an amazing receiver but his size really does concern me a lot In terms of NFL sustainability. That's all.

    I hope he has a ton of success In the NFL, unless he is playing for a division rival. ;)

    I wouldn't take him In the first though. Just me.

    I get what you’re saying but Odell, Devonta Smith, etc are all slender. Not everyone has to be built like Julio. Unless he has a history of injury like say Devin Smith then I love him. He really helps fields. A bigger guy in the late first who can’t create separation due to speed is Nkeal Harry. I love Olave.

    anyways, we will find out a ton when Pat Surtain lined up vs him Monday.
