K-9 Posted April 26, 2019 Posted April 26, 2019 (edited) On 4/26/2019 at 9:15 PM, Doc said: Thanks. Worth a 2nd rounder? Expand He needs a couple years of bulking up and learning the position, imo. He’s got athletic chops, but he will get manhandled by OTs until he learns the position and gets stronger. I think he’s a day 3 pick. Edited April 26, 2019 by K-9
#34fan Posted April 26, 2019 Posted April 26, 2019 I don't hate this pick, but I'm pumping my brakes... Week-in week-out, he'll be facing talented, experienced NFL O-linemen who aren't scared, or impressed by his college resume. -A world apart from shoving overmatched conference USA (AAC) scrubs to the ground.

transplantbillsfan Posted April 26, 2019 Posted April 26, 2019 I just assume this is here somewhere, but I'll post it anyway: http://www.msn.com/en-us/sports/nfl/winners-and-losers-in-the-first-round-of-the-2019-nfl-draft/ss-BBWiNfR?li=BBnb7Kz&ocid=iehp#image=1 Winners and losers in the first round of the 2019 NFL draft by Doug Farrar Winner: The Bills' defensive line: Congratulations, Bills, You got to watch Houston defensive lineman Ed Oliver, the best defensive player in this class, fall to your ninth overall pick, and you were smart enough to draft him. Now, let me give you a bit of advice. Don't do what Houston's coaches did and play him at nose tackle 65% of the time. Instead, make him a 3-tech tackle who can flex out to end, and watch him use his generational combination of power, speed, and leverage terrorize the other quarterbacks and running backs in the AFC East and beyond. Comparisons have been made to Aaron Donald, but Oliver reminds me more of Hall-of-Fame defensive tackle John Randle in his furious, unstoppable style. (Tommy Gilligan-USA TODAY Sports) 3 1
wppete Posted April 26, 2019 Posted April 26, 2019 Oliver is really high energy guy. Looks like he wants to tackle everyone and everything in front of him. I love this pick!!!!!

Búfalo Blanco Posted April 26, 2019 Posted April 26, 2019 OK, finally getting in on this. Love the pick... seems like a perfect fit for Mickey D's D.... And as far as his personality goes... fine by me. Buffalo needs more fire on defense. High maintenance..? If he blows up Tom Brady a few times this year, give the man weekly diamond level pedicures and custom peeled grapes for all I care. He'll need those custom fitted coats at New Era in December. Roll out the red carpet, Terry!!! Let's go D!!!!! #1 this year, yo!!!
