NFL - "I love the ball skills and the speed but I don't love the frame and strength. He will get neutralized by certain corners." -- Area scout for AFC team
PFF - Olave is one of the safest bets at the receiver position in the class and the perfect fit for a team that wants immediate impact at the position.
CBS - Olave is a fast, savvy receiver who can run great routes but doesn't play with a lot of physicality. Pair that with his average height and lean build and he's reminiscent of Brandin Cooks, who has been busting past NFL defenders for eight years despite being under six-foot and 190 pounds.
FB Guys - Olave doesn’t have a spectacular measurable or circus-play calling card, he is just a technician who plays under control, but very fast. Olave isn’t that thick or strong, so there might a weakness against handsy NFL corners, but when he can operate freely, good things happen. Olave is the safest pick and if he’s in a good offense with a top quarterback, he could move up as high as #3.
DLF - Post-Draft Summary: The Saints were clearly in love with Olave as they traded up in the draft to select him at #11 overall. Ironically, his teammate (Garrett Wilson) went at tenth overall to the Jets. There are long-term questions about the quarterback position in New Orleans, but Olave has a high floor and should be one of the safer receiver picks as he comes in with a ton of experience. We really don't know what Michael Thomas has left in the tank, so there was a clear need for the Saints as the Tre'Quan Smith and Marquez Callaway experiment didn't really work. Olave looks like a relatively safe dynasty pick in the middle of round one.
