You need size and/or speed to cut it on the outside in the NFL.  Olave has neither.  He's a great route runner, but he's topped out physically and has little to no upside.  He's also never been terribly productive and he doesn't fit what we need at WR.

I need size or speed? Jeudy has neither. Neither does Riggs. Route running is all u need. Furthermore olave will run a low 4.4, faster than either Jeudy or diggs... also u mention production. Ohio state rotates 6 guys regularly... no one has great production. Look at micheal Thomas stats at osuPoint is this. Route running over any other trait.

Now as far as oline. Price was a miss yes. We took the 3rd best center in that class who had physical limitations. Davis has no physical limitations and is the unanimous best Iol in his class and beating heralded as the next great one. Scout the jersey not the school. Mj. Really factor into this as he was a day 3 pick who was extremely young and we were banking on upside. He’s got a 58 grade which is substantially better than his rookie year so he seems to be improving. Remember he won’t even turn 23 until next year. He’s got a future here. But Davis will be a damn good iol. Best guard to come out since Nelson. He has no glaring weakness. No physical limitations.
