1) Oliver is TINY for a DT, and I saw him get moved around a lot by OL guys.
2) he has short arms that hamper his ability to tackle
3) he jumps to early too often.
4) Hoc is a genuinely elite prospect, the last one left on the board by 8 - and everyone behind the Lions would have taken him.
5) I bet you would have been livid if the Lions had "allowed" Green Bay to get him
