Both were considered top overall picks at points in their college careers. I see the talent but this seems like a boom or bust selection. But Oliver dominated in games he played. Nkemdiche pretty much did nothing his whole college career. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BuffAlone Posted March 3, 2019 Share Posted March 3, 2019 2 minutes ago, YoloinOhio said: This is the most realistic pick for 9. Id rather Q Williams, but would take Oliver over Josh Allen or Devin White. I'd even prefer Oliver over Bosa to be honest, as a fit of need meeting talent and process. I just think Bosa is gonna be too diva for a process loving blue collar type Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Logic Posted March 3, 2019 Share Posted March 3, 2019 I'd be thrilled with Oliver. He looks to me like a dominant 10-year starter at 3T. If anyone knows that being undersized doesn't necessarily keep a defensive tackle from being disruptive and productive, it should be the Buffalo Bills, who just watched an undersized guy do it for 12 seasons. I think people underestimate the importance of a quality 3T to the sustained success of McDermott's defense. Whether it's a high pick or an expensive free agent, this highly underrated need WILL be filled this offseason. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BillsSB2020 Posted March 3, 2019 Share Posted March 3, 2019 I really don't care about the jacket fiasco. Haven't heard much criticism of his work ethic, etc. I would definitely like this pick and see it as a good possibility at 9. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's going to be hard to pass him up. Fits the city of Buffalo like a glove, 3 years of incredible productivity and fits a position of need/BPA. 3 franchise guys on 1 side and the other a QB and nothing else.

Two names to consider in round 2..Riley Ridley or N'keal Harry. Both scream potential Franchise receivers to me. At a reasonable cost to boot.

BarleyNY Posted March 3, 2019 Share Posted March 3, 2019 I can’t see Oliver making it to our pick, but if he does we got very lucky. Run that card up! He’d be a fantastic pickup. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And with Kyle gone, we lose that element of mentorship too. I’m not saying that’s a reason to pass on a talent ... but I would be less worried about bringing in a vet where you already know who he is, than a raw rookie on the DL. Not every rookie is considered raw though... some are more polished and were more well coached in college than others Plenty of old guys around.

Yeah, if only we didn’t have 80 mill in cap room and 9 other draft picks. Don’t act like one pick will make or break this franchise. If we take Oliver and he’s a stud, we’ll be just fine and we’d have addressed the offense with other resources 3 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

billspro Posted March 3, 2019 Share Posted March 3, 2019 I don't believe the DT position has a huge impact on games. Oliver may have the pass rush ability to make an impact. I would much prefer Jawaan Taylor but it is looking like he might go top 5. Oliver would be a nice consolation prize. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

For me a top 10 DT has to have a (potential of course)significant affect to the pass rush. Q Williams and Oliver absolutely do for me, and C Wilkins I think just makes it in there for me as well.

Kyle wasn't a pass rushing force at LSU. He honed his craft at the next level. A DT needs to clog the middle, freeing up LB'ers firstly. A dominant pass rush is just gravy and sets them apart as a force to be reckoned with. That said, Oliver is that force Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MrEpsYtown Posted March 4, 2019 Share Posted March 4, 2019 This is the guy I think I want at this point. I think he is Geno Atkins. And I also love about ten other defensive guys. I wonder though, where does Trappaso have Mason Rudolph going? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A great pass rushing DT has dramatically risen in importance as offenses have focused more on getting the ball out quick. In back to back Super Bowls Fletcher Cox and Aaron Donald have had a big impact on not allowing Brady to get comfortable. The back to back NFL Defensive MVP is a DT who profiles similar to Oliver, I don't see how you can say they don't have a huge impact on games.

If you don’t have decent DTs, maybe 3-5 teams you will struggle to stop the run. If you make a list of the most important positions DT is way down there for me.

You don't take clothes off a cold grown man to send some dumb message. NFL players get at least this level of respect from coaches for the most part as professionals. I don't see a problem. Funny story though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
