The source recommends overpaying for Olszewski as a tight end with significant opportunity in Tennessee; currently available in the 15th-16th round range despite ADP of 13-12 and RADP of 14-01, making him very cheap relative to upside. The source liked him coming out despite a poor 40-time and sees real opportunity in Tennessee if Cam Newton and the offense improve. The overpay tier for Olszewski is smaller than for higher-profile assets (e.g., two-thirds instead of one, or a third and fourth swap), making him an accessible target. The source is all in on him as a later-round grab with solid player quality and potentially fun opportunity.
