YoloinOhio Posted October 2, 2019 Posted October 2, 2019 (edited) Quote Interior defensive line Ed Oliver, Buffalo Bills (1st round, No. 9 overall) It has been a slow start for the rookie interior defensive line class. The New York Jets’ Quinnen Williams has missed the last two games with an injury and other first-rounders like the Miami Dolphins’ Christian Wilkins and the Los Angeles Chargers’ Jerry Tillery are off to slow starts. Although he wouldn’t be in the conversation for defensive rookie of the year right now, Oliver has been able to make an impact. With only three pressures and five tackles, the production hasn’t necessarily been there yet for Oliver, but he has flashed the disruptive qualities that made him a top-10 pick. His quickness off the snap surprises interior blockers, either opening rush lanes or clogging up the run design. He is at his best as the aggressor, but tends to be late adjusting on the move and will take time as he transitions to NFL speed.

billsfan1959 Posted October 2, 2019 Posted October 2, 2019 I think all three (Oliver, Singletary, and Knox) are going to turn out to be great draft picks 8
Mark Long Beach Posted October 2, 2019 Posted October 2, 2019 Cody Ford was also given an honorable mention. Giving us 4 draft picks including one as best in position. Pretty good considering there's 32 teams. They listed about 67 players (including special teams) so that's very close to an expected 2 draft picks per team and we're double that. 3

Call_Of_Ktulu Posted October 2, 2019 Posted October 2, 2019 Ford need to work on his footwork and getting out of his stance right when the ball is snapped. I would have him shed a few lbs and have him watch video of David Bakhtiari.

Expand I'm just effing with you I didn't know your take on Oliver...........a week ago you posted something in a pro-Oliver thread about me not liking the Oliver pick and Bandit and Gunner shot that take down for it's falsehood..........I guess you forgot. You are in a big hurry to try to prove me wrong about something when you don't even know my take. You are pre-disposed to it. You will find I rarely outright predict anything. For the most part what's the point of that? Truth is I have liked all 4 of Buffalo's first round picks under McDermott and have expressed that numerous times here on TSW but for some reason the fact that I am not willing to accept that someone isn't a finished product or isn't guaranteed to get there you think that is a prediction of bust-dom. I don't care about predictions I care about results.

Motor26 Posted October 2, 2019 Posted October 2, 2019 Singletary would be the best rookie back if he didn't get hurt. Knox might be able to give Hockenson a run for this money if the Bills actually played him and threw him the ball. Oliver is doing a very good job of pushing the pocket. Impressive draft class so far. Hopefully they are able to continue their upward trajectory in the next few seasons.
