Hockenson was my preferred guy, but Oliver was an extremely close 2nd.  Beane does seem to understand how these drafts work.  Made as many moved as he needed to get the 2 guys he wanted last year (& didn't lose any of this year's high picks) and managed to stay put for the 1 he wanted this year.

I'm sure he can be great and I know he was considered a top 2 pick going into this past college season.

 

My issue is that we were two picks from Josh Allen.  We could've used a 4th to trade up and had him.  To be that close.....

 

We lost Allen and Hock back to back.  I'm having a hard time with that.

It still makes me question the ability of McDermott and Beane to evaluate offensive talent.

Are you less than a year old? Parents should be proud of that home school’n 

I'm 30 and the bills modus operandi in my lifetime is skipping the obvious pick everyone wants and picking a bust, see ngata/whitner, orakpo/maybin.

You try to get stars in round 1.  This kid could be one.  Good job, and thanks to the Raiders for continuing their tradition of screwing things up.

What does drafting Ed Oliver have to do with their ability to evaluate offensive talent?

Allen fits a 3-4 defense. I don't see how he fit with us at all.

 

He can play OLB as much as he can line up to rush the passer.  McD runs a defense that would utilize him.  Allen is that good

Love the Pick. Highest Ceiling DT in this Draft. If he taps into all that athleticism and potential. Bills just got their Aaron Donald. Watch.
