John from Riverside Posted March 17, 2019 Share Posted March 17, 2019 1 hour ago, Mark92 said: Ed Oliver was NOT used correctly at the University of Houston. They almost never used him as a 3 Tech lineman which is his strong suit. I will admit that you probably can't move him around and get the same production out of him. McDermotts defense requires a 3 tech, if we draft him we won't need to worry about that position until his rookie contract is up. He's that good at that position. No he's not Kyle Williams but he would plug a big hole up front for McDermott at a low cost for 4/5 years at least. This is just crazy We did not know KYLE WILLIAMS was KYLE WILLIAMS when we drafted him....he was a 5th round pick Just give me another guy later that has this kind of potential to give up the middle pass rush at the 3 tech and I will be on board whoever the naysayers want to pick Is he Aaron Donald? We dont know.....and Aaron Donald does not play the nose either because it makes no sense to utilize him that way 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dpberr Posted March 17, 2019 Share Posted March 17, 2019 I picked Williams even if he will be a guard in the NFL, not a tackle. He will likely be a great guard, however. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We dont know.....and Aaron Donald does not play the nose either because it makes no sense to utilize him that way Yup. I think Ed Oliver is an obvious fit if we stay at #9. Beane and McDermott will litterly run the card up themselves if he is still on the board and we own the pick. DE and DT look like needs. Bosa and Allen are the best DE's and Williams and Oliver are the best DT's. Specifically a 3 tech DT is the need which Oliver is. It looks like he will go between picks 7-15. So not reaching for a player that not only fits a hole but will make that hole a strength, count me in. Edited March 17, 2019 by Mark92 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KOKBILLS Posted March 17, 2019 Share Posted March 17, 2019 Honestly I'm not crazy about either...Not that they are not good players...But there are so many guys I like in the first it's hard for me to imagine the Bills would end up with either of them... I guess if I had to choose I would choose Williams over Oliver...Definitely the safer pick... I really doubt either will be the Bills choice...But we'll see...? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Senator Posted March 17, 2019 Share Posted March 17, 2019 I have a hankering for the LT from ‘bama’ - but, no matter what Beane does, I don’t think I’ll be disappointed on draft day. . 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LABILLBACKER Posted March 17, 2019 Share Posted March 17, 2019 I want a player who will help protect Josh Allen for years. The same kind of protection NE gave Brady for 17 years. Oliver probably is the so called BPA, but Jonah's job is to help protect the future of the Bills. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BeastMode54 Posted March 17, 2019 Share Posted March 17, 2019 I struggle with who I'd want to pick here constantly. And it's always between these two. I can't decide... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BillsfaninChicago Posted March 17, 2019 Share Posted March 17, 2019 Wow this poll has taken a dramatic turn! Oliver is in the lead! ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
947 Posted March 17, 2019 Share Posted March 17, 2019 I'm really surpised that Williams is getting any votes. Hmmm, an uber stud penetrating DT, or a "pretty good" OL prospect who will have to change positions to OG? 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
YoloinOhio Posted March 17, 2019 Share Posted March 17, 2019 Oliver at 9, or Williams in a trade down and move to Guard 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
formerlyofCtown Posted March 17, 2019 Share Posted March 17, 2019 Id be happy either way, but I really like Oliver. 16 hours ago, Mark92 said: Yup.

Green Lightning Posted March 17, 2019 Share Posted March 17, 2019 Easy choice, Oliver. He's a much better prospect at his position than any of the OL in this draft. This guy could be ripping up the middle for us for years! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
njbuff Posted March 18, 2019 Share Posted March 18, 2019 I think Oliver is an instant success in McDermott's D. If Oliver and Williams are both there at 9, it's Oliver in a landslide. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I wouldnt call them needs but they are definitely upgradable. After next season we will have no pass rushers under contract. We need a pass Rusher or two for the future. We also just lost a pro bowl DT. I would say if we don't do something now at those positions it's going to be a scramble next off-season to get some. Beane likes to be ahead of the curve so I would expect a DT and probably and edge rusher somewhere in the draft. 10 hours ago, Leonhart2017 said: Wow this poll has taken a dramatic turn!

Bakin Posted March 18, 2019 Author Share Posted March 18, 2019 I’ve been a large Jonah Williams fan for some time .... and I haven’t voted in this poll I started yet. But at this time I would vote Oliver. For one big reason - I don’t think Jonah will be our starting LT come day one and I don’t want to spend a top 10 pick on an RT. I think we can get a solid RT on day 2. Oliver was a consensus top 3 pick before his jacket issue and I think he can be a game changer at the next level.

This one is pretty easy for me especially with the moves in FA. Edited March 18, 2019 by Magnum Force Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
