Josh Oliver TE San Jose St

STRENGTHS
Josh has the potential to become a complete Tight End for the team that selects him. He shows the lateral agility and quickness to block and help out his offensive lineman when pass blocking. Josh has those long legs and arms that help him to be a match up night mare to cover when he is running routes. He has good hands to catch the ball and can make the difficult catch in the red zone and down the field. He shows on film, good speed but what he really brings with him is the quickness off the line, into his routes and when in the open field making his blocks.

CONCERNS
Josh has those long arms and legs that makes it hard for him to be a great run blocker but he gets the job done, because of his effort.

TALENT BOARD ROUND 2.39
Josh is a very good pass blocker but as run blocker…like said he does the job as ell as he can without penalties but it’s hard for him to finish and that could be the excuse for some teams to drop him to lower rounds in this draft. I think any Tight End that can pass block as well as catch the ball down the field as well as Josh does, doesn’t need to run block. I say draft him and coach better. On passing downs, use him to block or put him into the slot and bring another offensive lineman in to block. The offense can still run or pass the ball because Josh can catch the ball down the field as well as most receivers and he is quick off the line, better than most other tight ends. He is match up nightmare in coverage for LB’s and safeties because of those long arms and legs. Josh has the talent and passion to be an excellent Tight End for the team that selects him similar to the Redskins Jordan Reed.
