RE: Greg Olsen
His fastest time was 4.45. He moved himself into the top 20 in the Draft.

RE: Greg Olsen
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. |

RE: Greg Olsen
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.

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

RE: Greg Olsen
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. |
