NASHVILLE, Tenn. — When Ed Oliver took a trip to Florham Park, he dreamed of what could be possible while playing under new Jets defensive coordinator Gregg Williams.

They sat down and watched film of Aaron Donald, a fellow defensive tackle who became an immediate monster under Williams’ tutelage with the Rams. They watched other clips of Browns’ defensive linemen when Williams coached in Cleveland and envisioned how Oliver, the 6-foot-2, 287-pound Houston product, could thrive in such a scheme.

“I loved it,” Oliver said Wednesday at Nissan Stadium. “[I’m] just a physical player. A physical, dominant player. I like to wreak havoc and that is basically what they do, so I’d fit right in.”

Oliver likely will be there for the taking when the Jets are on the clock with the No. 3 pick Thursday night. There has been late buzz connecting him to Gang Green, and while it could all just be a smoke screen, Oliver made it clear he could be of use for any team and any defense, however they want to use him.

Wherever Oliver ends up — he said he even worked out as an outside linebacker for the Titans — it won’t be for a lack of confidence. He said he took one snap at linebacker in college during a game against SMU and “I didn’t do too much, I just ran the guard over.”

“I’m quick enough to play outside, strong enough to play inside, good enough in the run game, good enough in the pass game to play anywhere,” Oliver said. “However you want to use me, I’m here for the team.”

In the all-too-early mock drafts that came out before last year’s picks had even signed their contracts, Oliver was a popular choice to be No. 1. By the end of his junior season last fall, though, his stock seemed to have taken a hit after dealing with a knee injury that limited him to three sacks and often kept him on the sideline, where he got into an argument with coach Major Applewhite over a coat he was wearing.

Oliver insisted he never gave going No. 1 too much thought, but admitted he would use his draft position as fuel when he gets to the NFL.

“I think I’m the best player in the draft and so does everybody else here,” Oliver said. “The D-linemen taken above me, I’m going to be salty.”

Oliver also credited the 6-foot-1, 280-pound Donald for “flipping the standard” for interior defensive linemen, proving athleticism can be more important than size in dominating up front.

“The big thing is [my] height and athleticism,” Oliver said. “That probably separates me from some of the linebackers, too. I’m probably more athletic than them.”
