PetermansRedemption Posted March 28, 2019 Share Posted March 28, 2019 Unfortunately I don’t see much chance Oliver lasts to 9 now. Unless there is a serious crazy run on QBs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I disagree that Allen is MORE likely to be there, but my hunch is that NEITHER will be there at 9 unfortunately. Oliver may have slipped if it weren't for his eye popping testing.

Oliver may have slipped if it weren't for his eye popping testing. We would need 3 QBs to go in the top then to have a chance at Allen. Right now I see Murray, Williams, Bosa, and Oliver as the top 4 choices. One of the other QBs goes to the Giants. Allen, White, Burns, and Taylor are probably the next 4 non-QBs. One of those guys will drop to us. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

His film didn’t change that. For whatever reason he was going outside the top 5 in mocks but i don’t know why. Coat gate? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gr8billsfan Posted March 28, 2019 Share Posted March 28, 2019 Faster shuttle than Saquon Barkley. If he’s there at 9, Beane better call him up! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Josh Allen is a step above anyone they would get at 9. 1 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We pick 9th. Kyler Murray Quinnen Williams Nick Bosa Clelin Ferrell Josh Allen Dwayne Haskins Rashan Gary Brian Burns TJ Hockenson Greedy Williams DK Metcalf Jonah Willams Jawaan Taylor All of the above guys are, depending on who you ask, ranked as high or higher than Ed Oliver in terms of value. SOMEBODY good is bound to slip to the Bills. Given Oliver's less than prototypical size, it's not unreasonable to think it could be him. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SOMEBODY good is bound to slip to the Bills. Given Oliver's less than prototypical size, it's not unreasonable to think it could be him. Kyler Murray Quinnen Williams Nick Bosa Josh Allen Delvin White are the 5 I am almost certain that go before Oliver. Hopefully teams panic and trade up for Lock and Haskins. We need Tampa to select Sweat. I am doubting Oliver makes it to 9. Aaron Donald won back to back defensive player of the year awards. It's hard not to see similarities. Bills run to podium to select Oliver if he makes it to 9 IMO. That begs the question- what do Bills do if Oliver and those 5 are not available? Do we trade down? Do we select Gary or Wilkins? Jonah or Jawaan? DK? Hock? And if Lock and Haskins make it to 9-we are in prime spot for QB needy teams(plenty of them) to leap Denver at 10. So that just might be a nice consolation prize if we do lose out on Oliver Edited March 28, 2019 by Pete 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So that just might be a nice consolation prize if we do lose out on Oliver In this scenario, I think the only two players keeping the Bills from trading down are Jawaan Taylor and T.J. Hockenson. The Bills could finish the o-line for years to come with Taylor and give Allen the best protection possible. Hockenson could provide good blocking and pass catching skills as a safety blanket to Allen. Either one would be a huge upgrade and provide us with a potential pro bowler. I think the Bills have their eyes on Jerry Tillery at 40. Apparently, they have been at a lot of ND games this year and I could see Beane being enamored with Tillery’s size. He loves prototypes. All that said, I hope we trade down and pick up a second 2 or 3. This would allow us to get another potential starter and give us ammo to move around the board. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Based on top 30 visits and reported Bills interest, I would suggest that the 9th pick is down to the following options (not in any particular order, because I have no idea how the Bills rank them): Jawaan Taylor, Jonah Williams, Ed Oliver, Montez Sweat, Christian Wilkins. I expect one of those five names to be called if the Bills stay at 9. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Logic Posted March 28, 2019 Share Posted March 28, 2019 Just now, Pete said: If Haskins and Lock make it to 9- don't you think Beane's phone will be ringing off the hook with crazy, generous trade offers? I definitely believe that if the right offer comes in, Beane would accept it. That being said, I DON'T get the impression that they're desperate to trade down. There are lots of potential difference makers at positions of need that could be available at 9 but that they'll miss out on if they trade down too far. Oliver and the two offensive tackles, for instance. Personally, I find it more likely that they pick a player at 9 and then use some of their "extra" picks this year to move BACK up into the late 1st or back up into the 2nd to take more premium players. The sheer amount of free agents they've added and the lack of ability to find spots on the roster for 10 more players leads me to believe the Bills will draft no more than 7 players come April. As such, I don't view a trade down from 9 to be as likely as some Bills fans seem to think. Just my opinion. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If the Bills have their eyes on only 1 player at 40 they're going to be disappointed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
