HOUSE Posted April 19, 2019 Share Posted April 19, 2019 (edited) Buffalo Bills targeting Houston’s Ed Oliver at No. 9 overall, says B/R’s Matt Miller Today 11:19 AM AP Photo By Ryan Talbot | rtalbot@nyup.com Who will the Buffalo Bills select at No. 9 in the 2019 NFL Draft? That’s the million dollar question with less than one week remaining until the start of the draft. Bills GM Brandon Beane has not tipped his hand and has continually said that Buffalo will take the best player available. That could lead Buffalo in multiple directions, but Bleacher Report’s Matt Miller is hearing that the Bills are targeting Houston defensive tackle Ed Oliver with their No. 9 pick. https://www.newyorkupstate.com/buffalo-bills/2019/04/buffalo-bills-targeting-houstons-ed-oliver-at-no-9-overall-says-brs-matt-miller.html Edited April 19, 2019 by HOUSE 8 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rob's House Posted April 19, 2019 Share Posted April 19, 2019 I've seen a fair amount of speculation in the last week or so that his stock is a lot higher among NFL teams than the media & that he'll come off the board earlier than projected.

buffaloboyinATL Posted April 19, 2019 Share Posted April 19, 2019 Apparently we need to lock him in a room with SI's Gary Gramling (whoever that is) who said we are targeting DK Metcalf, and let them fight it out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Before the season this year, he was being talked about as a top 3 pick. His injury and the sideline issue hurt his "draft status" but in reality, he still has top 3 level talent. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Logic Posted April 19, 2019 Share Posted April 19, 2019 I believe this. I also believe that a team before 9 will take him before the Bills have a chance. The Bills could be looking at a scenario where Bosa, Allen, Quinnen Williams, Ed Oliver, and TJ Hockenson are all off the board. Offensive line or Montez Sweat might be the only way to go at that point. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NewEraBills Posted April 19, 2019 Share Posted April 19, 2019 As I said in another thread, I think he's their #1 guy and if he goes off the board, they might want to move out of the 9 spot. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Can’t see McD making him his showcase pick of the draft. Edited April 19, 2019 by YoloinOhio 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

thebandit27 Posted April 19, 2019 Share Posted April 19, 2019 I say this every year: Miller is a good talent evaluator, but he doesn't have reliable draft info. He's likely just reading tea leaves here...and he may end up being right, but don't put any additional emphasis on this tidbit is all I'm saying Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think if you just send it to the University of Houston, addressed to him it should work. He doesnt even need to get it, just write Gas Mask for Ed Oliver in big letters all over the package. The rest should take care of itself. Maybe sprinkle some weed in there to remove any doubt as to what it is for.

glazeduck Posted April 19, 2019 Share Posted April 19, 2019 Really surprised everyone is taking the bait here. At best this is Miller grasping at straws, at worst its false info leaking during "lying season". If anything, I think it's damning evidence against the likelihood of Oliver to the Bills... To me, more interesting would be who are the players who haven't been linked to Buffalo by "sources"? Off the top of my head... Taylor, Sweat, Q. Williams, either LB...

FeelingOnYouboty Posted April 19, 2019 Share Posted April 19, 2019 Oliver's solidified his Top 5 status. Can't see anyway he drops to us now. I'm guessing their second choice is T.J. Hockenson but it sounds like the Lions are in love with him. We're probably down to our 3rd choice Jonah Williams and he might not make it past the Giants/Jags. I hope a trade up is in the works for Ed Oliver. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I agree with you. I think he is one of the top five prospects. We need about 5 GM's to completely whiff on their picks so that he can drop to #9. I don't expect that to happen.

Solomon Grundy Posted April 19, 2019 Share Posted April 19, 2019 (edited) I'd be very surprised. I don't think he's a Beane/McDermott type of guy. 1) The public dust up he had with HC Major Applewhite. Not totally blaming Oliver, but a team rule is a team rule regardless of who you are. 2) Reports are that his family had him sit out, with fake injuries, games because they wanted to "protect their investment". Do you want a "me" guy or a "we" guy. I'd be curious to know the story about him having a knee injury but was jumping, catching footballs before the game. 3) Have a feeling that the Bills have something working with the Falcons. https://247sports.com/college/texas-tech/Board/102951/Contents/Ed-Oliver-vs-Applewhite-124790381/ Edited April 19, 2019 by the skycap Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
