I am just mad that I had 3 players in mind that I was hoping would fall to us in the early 3rd. When the first two came off the board, I was hoping Beane would move up to grab Oliver who was my last receiving target that I really wanted...didn't see a chance in hell he would fall to us or get past NE who moved in front of us in that trade with Detroit. We didn't and he didn't even make it past the Jags. Just need to step away, not going to judge this kid in my current mood - he could be all that. As of this point he is a Bill and I wish him much success.

meh. I am kind of cranky now that we sat back and most of the guys I really wanted exited in front of us. This is why GMs get the big bucks because I am a really sore loser, and would leave the war room and come back with a large bottle of whisky, start doing shots, flip off the cameras, put my feet up and call Gruden and tell him to make the rest of my picks for me.

There goes Jenkins...good pick by GB to groom at C to protect Roger's.

Good pick, good value at the position.

RD 1, Pick 9: DT Ed Oliver, University of Houston

Not every player can get a Bama scholarship....jscholarship....just got to find the men amongst the boys. That fits Oliver. He is a great fit for this defense. -
How about the other Oliver in this draft. Josh Oliver. 6'5" and change. Runs a 4.6 40, had the largest hands out of the class, graded very well in all the combine drills. Excellent receiver with surprisingly good blocking fundamentals but lacks strength. I believe I read that he had some basketball and snow boarding background and thought those translate well to a TE having good to excellent balance and being able to track and highpoint the ball. The knock on Oliver is he came out if a smaller program at San Jose St. and will need some NFL level coaching up to get stronger and refine his game. He was their program's go-to guy and a man amongst boys which is what you look for in weaker conferences and teams. There are a few more TE prospects that I will be alright with the Bills taking, but that's my TE pick for the Bills. I can't shake the feeling that the Pats will take him before the 4th with one of the 5 picks they have in the 2nd and 3rd round.
