Scouting Report: Strengths
  • One of the true straight-up edge burners in this draft class, Oliver has the kind of skill set NFL teams covet in an edge rusher.
  • He’s excellent changing direction, an agile mover who can win by countering inside and exploding with impressive burst when closing.
  • Plays with leverage at the point of attack whether inside or outside. Keeps eyes in the backfield when inside; moves linemen to either side with strong hands.
  • He’s a fluid mover in pursuit as well, capable of moving down the line and making plays in pursuit.
  • Oliver can also win going speed-to-power, with the leg drive to push blockers back.
  • Accelerates rapidly and has a great feel for angles. Oliver isn’t huge, but he packs a pop.
Scouting Report: Weaknesses
  • Oliver lacks elite traits in the pass rush and will need to develop a counter move.
  • As a pass rusher, Oliver lacks the ideal length to consistently win off the edge, even if he manages to improve his at-times sloppy hand usage.
  • Oliver needs to do a better job using his hands as a pass rusher, as he too often gets neutralized by longer edge blockers.

*Percentile Ranking in Player's Position Group (NFL Combine Historical Data): This percentile reflects how a player's specific statistics rank in comparison to historical performances at the NFL Combine, specifically within their position group. A higher percentile indicates a better performance. For instance, being in the 90th percentile for a particular stat means the player outperformed 90% of their peers in that category.

*Similarity Percentage: This percentage is calculated based on a comprehensive analysis of various factors, including height, weight, 40-yard dash times, on-field performance statistics, and overall player rating. The analysis is conducted against our database of draft prospects from 2021 to 2023. This similarity score helps in evaluating how closely a current prospect aligns with past prospects. It is important to note, however, that this score reflects similarities based on college production and attributes, and does not account for eventual success or performance in the NFL.
