Magnum Force Posted March 16, 2019 Share Posted March 16, 2019 I think the winner of a chicken wing eating contest is our pick. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheBeaneBandit Posted March 16, 2019 Share Posted March 16, 2019 Oliver and the choice is rather easy, although I like Jonah. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
John from Riverside Posted March 16, 2019 Share Posted March 16, 2019 Before free agency - Jonah Now - Oliver We have been ultra aggressive in signing veteran offensive linemen heading up into the draft.......literally retooling more then half of the OL Now our more pressing needs seems to be pressure up the middle on defense......and the pick would match the bpa here at this point. Was never a Jonah fan at 9.......now if we TRADE DOWN? My position could change on this because Oliver would be LONG gone at that point 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Magnum Force Posted March 16, 2019 Share Posted March 16, 2019 (edited) I think with the moves we have made in FA...we are going Defense with our 1st. I think judging on Beane's last draft.... all signs point to Oliver if he is there at pick 9. A trade down or trade up is possible or an unexpected fall (Williams DT, Bosa, Allen) could change the landscape.

To me it is about talent and utilization......Ed Oliver starts from DAY ONE.....you get the most reps out of him and he is the more talented player Meanwhile there is much talk about whether these top OT's should be playing at OG..... 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mat68 Posted March 16, 2019 Share Posted March 16, 2019 I think Oliver is a more impactful player. William's will be hard pressed to break the starting rotation as a rookie. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PetermansRedemption Posted March 16, 2019 Share Posted March 16, 2019 I think a new poll should be created. Would be interesting to see who people choose now. I am Oliver then and now. Free agency might have changed some peoples minds though. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
atlbillsfan1975 Posted March 16, 2019 Share Posted March 16, 2019 I’m all in on Oliver if they stay at 9 and he is there. IF Oliver is there it is most likely because a quarterback or two i has been picked. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CommonCents Posted March 16, 2019 Share Posted March 16, 2019 Williams just seems like a guy who would be ok and leave the team with a decision come his 5th year option. Oliver is a guy who could easily earn that option if he decided too. I went with Oliver. Williams has a lower ceiling and would represent a “safe” play. The Bills aren’t in position to play it safe. Swing for the fences. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dr. Who Posted March 16, 2019 Share Posted March 16, 2019 The abundance of free agent o-line signings suggests #9 more likely addresses a different position. I would not rule out Beane trading up or down (I'd love to get to #2 ahead of the Jets for our choice of Bosa, Quinnen Williams, or Josh Allen.) If he stays at nine, I think there's a fair chance Oliver is on the board, BPA, and the pick. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't think they'll be afraid of cutting one of the recent signees in camp if necessary. Other than Morse, the other contracts aren't cap killers. In any event, I hope we pick the player that best fits the culture of the team. Maybe that's Oliver idk, but if he's actually a head case I'd rather not take him even if he's the most talented player available. We went down that road with Whaley (i.e. collecting talent rather than building a team) and it got us no where. Surely there will be someone at nine (or perhaps a trade down target) who's both extremely talented and a high character person.
