Isaiah Oliver is ready for a special rookie season

In my pre-draft mock, I had the Falcons drafting Oliver at 26. To see him slip to pick 58 was mind boggling to me, but I was glad it happened.

Oliver has some of the greatest length in this class, has great closing ability and is simply the prototypical Falcons press coverage cornerback. Even in year one, we should see this guy go up against monsters like Mike Evans and Michael Thomas twice a year, Alshon Jeffery week one, and AJ Green in week four. This is a quick test of Oliver’s high praise from analysts and draft stock.
