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

[Pine Barrens Mafia]

Well, at least it wasn't the Alabama DT.

 

There's that.

Love this pick, considering who was off the board. Go Bills!

[Bing Bong]

Josh Allen and Ed Oliver were 1a and 1b for me. Josh Allen fits with any team on the edge. Don't care what scheme it is. Clearly can't complain about the Bills pick. Jax and Buffalo winning so far.

[njbuff]

One more edge rusher can complete the D.

 

Clowney?

[MrEpsYtown]

Perfect fit. And so excited. His reaction made me think of Gilmores sad face. This guy is gonna Ben great and a fan favorite.

Hey @Cornette's Commentary I think we might both agree on this one, eh buddy? Pop that head out from under your bridge and grace us with your presence

 

[Iamkrgr]

Not a sexy pick? Lmao.

 

This is as sexy pick as can be. Huge upside. 

[IgotBILLStopay]

That video of three guys trying to block Ed Oliver is sick!!

Now if we only had any playmakers on offense.

 

Is the draft over?

If you dislike the Oliver pick you are a metrosexual lol

[machine gun kelly]

Made complete sense based on how the board was falling.  Let’s hope he is the next Darned LD which is asking a lot.  I agree with a couple of earlier posters we don’t need 9 more guys after acquiring 17 in free agency.  Package some to get more talented guys.

 

As Al Davis used to say “Just win baby”.

While Allen pick was better value. I think Oliver pick is the best of the draft with fit and value.

Yeah, as far as TE goes. Maybe we'll get lucky and WR Metcalf slips down the board and we can trade up for him.

Who cares. He was gone. Next. 

They're 1a and 1b for me. By the time the Jax were picking I was psyched we'd get either or provided we didn't fall for Hockenson's fools gold.

 

Sure Hock may make me eat these words in a few years. But ole Ed was way more a sure thing.

Well, if you read the original post, you'd see why I cared

[Logic]

I just pulled up NFL.Com's draft profile of Ed Oliver.

These are literally the first words in it, and I'm not making this up:

"Twitched up ball of explosive fury"

Yesssssssssss!!!

[Fixxxer]

Juan Castillo is on ESPN for Latin america right now

 

 

Kyle Williams retired and "we" needed to replace him.

 

Was Oliver a need?

Bills D is getting there but "we" needed to improve the points against (26 per)

 

I liked that he used we instead of them.

 

 

not much else regarding the Bills.

[NoHuddleKelly12]

Love the pick, would’ve loved Jonah Williams too, but I get why they did it and can’t disagree. Trust the process remains the name of the game!!

The Bills HAD interest in McCoy..for a 5th.I'm confused about that one..I doubt it was money.

Just like you..I think we need a OT.

We can't lose out on McGary

For sure. I think Jax has been great at drafting these last few years. Buffalo as well
