That's a lie, right?
He ran a 4.6 so I'd be curious to what he did that puts him in the "exceptional" category.
Between this and the Combine, he might go undrafted.

You can't ignore his tape, but that is sllllllllloooooooooowwwwwwwwwww.yup...so disappointing. He looks so much better on tape. Runs hard...I was expecting 4.5 range for his 40...but this?
I still think he gets drafted....probably late 6th-7th round.

I'm all for the Cowboys going after Grier...think he'd do well with Kellen n Kitna. Stidham I don't like as much, but wouldn't bark about him being drafted either. Rush n White need some real competition!Stidham and Grier will have better careers than Haskins. Both guys can make every throw. Haskins to me, looks like he stares down his man and makes mistakes. Relies on his arm strength. Can you say, Byron Leftwich? That's what he is. He is being way overrated.
mike white is sneaky good. Reminds me of steve walsh...comes from a pass happy system too. Rush is on the hot seat, and hasn't looked that good.Makes him available for DAL in Round 6...sweet!!! I still like the player, tho. But, I agree he's gonna have a hard road in the league.

David Montgomery has been my pet cat this offseason, so I really enjoyed this Rotoworld writer standing on the table for him.
I don't even know why. We don't even need a RB that badly. But he's just so fun to watch.

Here's a cutup to wash that all down.
Where do you expect him to get picked?

Here's a cutup to wash that all down.
Got watching Ed Oliver tape today, with news that the Cowboys are interested in him. Just wanted to confirm that he's the real deal and not the result of media hype.
Yep, he's the real deal.
His tape is skewed a bit, since he's going up against a notch lower of competition than your average Power 5 prospect. NFL linemen are going to be a lot stronger than the guys at Rice. That being said... wow. His power is just on another level. Watch 1:44 above, 0:28 too for one of the cleanest stack and sheds you're going to see. And the kind of speed he has for a DT is rare to see. I think the LB talk with him is kind of ridiculous, but you don't see many DTs track runners down from behind like he does. His size doesn't bother me much in light of Atkins and Donald's success, and his combo of NT power and LB speed is just incredible.
People like to compare him to Donald because of their frames, but Donald was a gap shooter and a technically impeccable hand fighter, whereas Oliver seems kind of unrefined and wins more on raw strength right now. The guy he reminds me of more than anything is Ndamukong Suh minus 20 pounds.
In any other draft, I think he'd be a top 10 pick for sure, but this year is staggeringly good at DL. There are five other D linemen I can think of who have legit top 10 hopes themselves (Bosa, Big Q, Allen, Sweat, Gary), and Oliver's square-peg size might get him lost in the wash among the overwhelming amount of talent. My early guess is that he'll fall out of the top 10 due to all the "prototype" edge rushers available, and then he'll become this year's version of Derwin James.
