Sell me on : Chris Olave

[darthseinfeld]

Im going to try a new thing this year where I ask Zoners to make a complelling argument as to why a player should be considered in the draft. Its not necessarily going to be a guy I personally need to be sold, but I want to hear your arguments.

Ill try to do two a week. One offensive, one defensive

Sell me on :Chis Olave, WR Ohio State

Olave is the type of receiver that works well with Dak. Very good route runner and deep threat. Can play all receiving spots which would allow Lamb to still see many reps inside. However, if the team uses another 1st rd pick at the position, they will be in a similar situation down the road.

Speedy WR. smooth route runner. Can get good separation. Good Hands. He could be your deep threat. Although he has the speed to get away, he does not break tackles like you would like. So if they are short routes in traffic he will catch it however he will not normally break away or stiff arm tacklers. But if you want a speedy smooth route runner and a deep threat he would be a good pick and he would probably be the top ranked player still on your board if he fell to 24.

He was the second best WR for OSU and he's pretty fast. He is good in the scramble drill which a lot our guys last year weren't.
