Logic Posted April 26, 2019 Posted April 26, 2019 Just what the title says. At least in the past decade, I really can't remember this much consensus approval among Bills fans over the player chosen with our 1st round pick. Maybe it's because no one thought Oliver would last to the 9th pick, maybe it's because it was such a meeting of value with need (and with Oliver's badass, quarterback-destroying acumen). Whatever the reason, I feel like I only saw two or three belly-achers on the board after the pick was announced, which is extremely rare. Bills fans seem to be in rare agreement about the draft, at least for one brief, shining moment. I'm sure we'll rectify this problem once the second round begins. ? 10 1 2
twist_to_open Posted April 26, 2019 Posted April 26, 2019 It all aligned well, an exceptional talent and a position of need falling to us at 9, couldn't have asked for a better scenario. 2
DuckyBoys Posted April 26, 2019 Posted April 26, 2019 Considering the unusual talent he brings, rightly so. I'm excited and the board seems to be aligning well for the Bills fill some more needs with bpa 1
C.Biscuit97 Posted April 26, 2019 Posted April 26, 2019 For myself, I try to be a consistent person. I didn’t want the Bills to draft Josh Allen 1.0 so I struggled to be as excited as I wanted to be. I loved Oliver before the draft and I’m very excited that the Raiders and Giants did what they did. It is the first time the Bills did what I wanted so now I’m scared. 2 9
RiotAct Posted April 26, 2019 Posted April 26, 2019 Indeed! Let’s hope it works out and he’s a mainstay on our defense for the next 10-15 years. Just now, chris heff said: I really wanted a punter. That’s what the 2nd round is for 2 2

Given how threads on him went during the season it’s really surprised me honestly.

LABILLBACKER Posted April 26, 2019 Posted April 26, 2019 He's a top 3 talent who wasn't supposed to fall past 7. Thank you Raiders! Today we pick a quality wr & te. The process continues. 2
Pete Posted April 26, 2019 Posted April 26, 2019 If they did not take Oliver, this board would of crashed quicker than you can say Jay Rosen 3
ProcessAccepted Posted April 26, 2019 Posted April 26, 2019 So happy with this pick. It felt weird not having to convince myself to be happy about it. They when I saw his reaction when he was walking to the stage etc it was obvious that this guy has what Dareus was missing. 5 1
metbill Posted April 26, 2019 Posted April 26, 2019 I am truly stoked, first time I can think of the player I hoped for all off-season ended up being the pick! Hoping we can land a good WR in round 2, maybe Deebo Samuel.
TOboy Posted April 26, 2019 Posted April 26, 2019 Even when our consensus guy would fall in the past, we'd end up drafting a RB or a S. It's really cool to have a front office that you trust to make the right moves. 4 1

I can't even imagine. Years of Bills draft fandom had me completely conditioned for Jonah Williams at that pick. This place would have been a nuclear winter had they used the pick on something else. 2

Bills fans knew the Jets had him targeted at #3 if Williams was gone and also most also knew the Bills didn't have a three-technique D-tackle on the roster. The guy is a perfect replacement for Kyle Williams. Besides, Detroit took TJ Hockenson right before at #8 so it was destined. Thank the lord for the NY Giants, Raiders. 1

Hoping we can land a good WR in round 2, maybe Deebo Samuel. Might be better players on the board but Deebo would be an amazing pick at 40 imo. Both he and Oliver bring that toughness that McDermott (and Bills fans) loves.
Ethan in Cleveland Posted April 26, 2019 Posted April 26, 2019 When Raiders and Giants passed on Allen I thought Bills had a chance. I hoped Jax would go Hock and Detroit would take Oliver. Once Allen was off the board then it was Hockenson or Oliver. Four years from now it will be very interesting to see how all these DL guys pan out

They when I saw his reaction when he was walking to the stage etc it was obvious that this guy has what Dareus was missing. No offense, but why do we always have to do this? Been happy with the pick but knock another player? And if Oliver has close to the start of his career than Dareus did, he will be amazing. I think people underestimate how good Dareus was before he got paid. 1
