Greg Olsen Miami (FL) 6'5.7" 254 4.47
i am starting to think he could be a nice pick at 27. thats right a TE running a 4.47 in the 40, nice cuts and good hands. blocking needs a bit of work but wow. nice combine #s

His fastest time was 4.45. He moved himself into the top 20 in the Draft.

If Olsen moves up that probably means Zach Miller is moving down. Also a darn good pick at 27.

As much as we need a defensive pick I wouldn't be surprised(or upset) if Payton picked up a good TE. I think it will all depend on what we do in free agency in the coming weeks.

I liked what I saw from Olsen. However there was this TE from a Div3 school working out too and he looked good i thought ran a 4.65 which is pretty good. Maybe pick him in later rounds and spend our 1st rounder on defence.

So at what point does a TE become the BPA at 27?

sorry this is a big Dallas Clark. This is a gigantic difference in speed in the 40 and has to put him in the top 3 of the BAP that maybe there at 27.

Michael Allan looks like, maybe, a late draft pick. Anyone know where he is being projected? I could see him on our side.

Hear them mention him as a second day pick on NFL Network.

Wasn't this guy part of the worst Miami offense in a couple of decades?

Well, they did have inconsistent quarterback play.

Our offense worked fine last year w/o an above average TE... so I'll pass on him with our pick. TE can be addressed in round 2 or 3 if need be. 40 times are vastly overrated.

Olsen may be a great TE, but my money is on FA rather that 1st round pick on this spot. In our offense, we could use an upgrade at the TE spot, but with someone like Daniel Graham on the market, FA is the best avenue...'specially since Willis or Puz may be there in the 1st..or a CB we could use...I'm starting to sour on Clements, but that is a different discussion.

I like Graham and think he's a legit pickup if the price is right. Or Eric Johnson. If neither has been re-signed by this point...I've been out of it for a while. Something about recent UM TEs that drives me off of Olsen...
