AlCowlingsTaxiService Posted April 26, 2019 Posted April 26, 2019 I like the pick ... I will predict that the book on him, however, will be to run right at him and wear him down. How the D handles that strategy will go a long way towards his success

Oliver will be fine. Now some more help on the edge. Let's see what the Bills do. So many good players left on both sides of the ball.

I think thatll be fine. Put Phillips in for 40% of the snaps like they are planning to.
The Real Buffalo Joe Posted April 26, 2019 Posted April 26, 2019 My profile picture should tell you everything you need to know about how I feel about this pick. 1
Iamkrgr Posted April 26, 2019 Posted April 26, 2019 We should still try to get Ziggy Ansah. If healthy that would put our pass rush on another level. So happy with this pick. 1

VW82 Posted April 26, 2019 Posted April 26, 2019 (edited) I'm still a little shocked we took Oliver. He seems like the opposite of a McD guy. A highly touted recruit with attitude problems. I always get a little nervous taking someone really high and immediately asking him to play a different position than what got him there. How often does that work? This feels like a huge gamble. I'd be more concerned if I didn't have so much faith in McD. Trust the process, I guess. Edited April 26, 2019 by VW82

I mean I can only see this two ways really either in their talks with him in the draft process they're confident it was a non issue or they're just confident that the culture they've created will be able to absorb it. I mean the defense is basically all back from last year as opposed to the offense.

No small chance he gets swallowed up by interior linemen in the pros. But on the other hand...between him and Edmunds, the Bills have some freakish athletic talent up the middle of the defense. If Oliver can use his speed to shed blocks and/or draw double-teams and make Edmunds freer to make plays, the middle of the defense could be very strong. Opponents are in trouble. They have to deal with Stars big Ass. How are they suppose to double Hughes, Star and Oliver. I probably should say triple team for Hughes. 2 offensive players and one game official.

BringBackFlutie Posted April 26, 2019 Posted April 26, 2019 So I'm super-excited about this pick, and Oliver is a monster. He also looks like he's genuinely excited to be a Bill. That being said...I think a valid question is, "as this pick relates to our overall defense, did we really get better on D, or just replace Kyle Williams?" Oliver seems to have all the same traits- high motor, lightning quick off the ball, good technique, undersized. What's the difference that's going to make our D better than it was with Kyle?

Oliver graded out as a Elite run defender I love Meatball......one of my all time favorite bills....the fact is Kyle Williams play was slipping the last 2 years...he was NOT the player he once was and he never graded out as a Elite run defender. We improved......and then you have Horrible Harry in his second year to go along with him and two other NFL veteran starter DT's in the stable. We improved 2
Warcodered Posted April 26, 2019 Posted April 26, 2019 The way he got excited yesterday reminded me of when Frank Gore signed and put on that helmet. 5 1

I agree young Oliver could be an upgrade over Williams from last year.
