That was a beautiful pass under duress by the game’s scariest lineman.

I would sure pick him in the top 10, especially if there was not a quarterback there l wantedIt will be interesting to see what pick the Eagles wind up with...then see if Olave was worth it. So far he is definitely worth a 10-15 1st round pick imo. Bordering top 10
Once MT gets healthy, we will have 2 great WRs. Just wish MT would get out of his injury bug.
The Eagles trade had very little to do with the trade to get Olave. We had the 18th pick . We could have easily made a deal with Washington to trade up. Might have cost a bit more but we would have probably still done the deal. The Eagles deal got us Penning and cost us a bit less to get OlaveIt will be interesting to see what pick the Eagles wind up with...then see if Olave was worth it.

There’s no way to know that. We used the pick we got from the Eagles to move up and take Olave.The Eagles trade had very little to do with the trade to get Olave. We had the 18th pick .

FTR… I just listened to the most recent NO.football podcast that came out today or yesterday…I was just pleased to see Olave catch a pass and not immediately go to the turf.
They even threw him a quick WR screen! I couldn’t believe it! I thought Olave was just going to catch that and instantly go down or get out of bounds, but he actually tried to get some tough yards!!! It really surprised me!
FTR… I just listened to the most recent NO.football podcast that came out today or yesterday…
…and Underhill said himself that the one criticism he has towards Olave, after Trip and the other guy were fawning over him, was that he lacks YAC ability.
He’s a catch and go down guy… after Nick said it, they joked for a minute about how small he is, etc…
But the fact remains… Olave has great hands, runs great routes and gets open, but unless he catches a ball in the end zone or free and clear of defenders he’s likely going to just go down and take the catch. That’s not necessarily a bad thing…
…but to me, it’s not #1 WR material.
He could be a GREAT #2 though.

Ok… I’ll take the W with Underhill seeing the same thing I see, and “Saint Spud” disagreeing.Don’t pull a hammy with that reach
Of course there is. We traded #16 a 3rd and a 4th for Olave. We had #18 had we not made the Eagles trade we probably would have had to give #18 and 2 3rd rd picks which we would have had if we didn't make the Eagles trade the eagles trade is much more about Penning than OlaveThere’s no way to know that. We used the pick we got from the Eagles to move up and take Olave.
I listened to the pod, too. At no point did he say Olave isn’t a number-1 WR. That’s your reach.Ok… I’ll take the W with Underhill seeing the same thing I see, and “Saint Spud” disagreeing.
Good luck in your bubble
You don’t know that Washington would have been willing to go back to 18. Impossible to know.Of course there is. We traded #16 a 3rd and a 4th for Olave.

I can say with confidence they would have. @16 they took Dotson a WR , next pick was the Chargers who didn't need a WR. They took Johnson an O lineman. Then @ 18 ( our old pick ) the Titans took Burks a pick they traded the Eagles for. So if we didn't make the Eagles trade we would have still had 18 and they would have gotten Dotson @ 18. Even if Philly kept 16 they were not looking for a WR because they traded for Brown . So I can say with confidence that If we would have offered Wash. 18 and 2 3rd rd picks the deal would have been madeYou don’t know that Washington would have been willing to go back to 18. Impossible
