Greg Gabriel: Hot name to Jets is Ed Oliver at 3 (Gregg wants him)


Recommended Posts

Well, I’m just going to keep telling myself a very good football player will be available at #9. What else can I do? If our guys want to move up or down, I’ll trust them to do the smart thing.  (I’ll reserve the right to complain later.)

...so what would be Plan B?.....

 

Well, that just means somebody else is falling. Q. Williams will never make it to 9, but maybe he falls far enough to be affordable? Sit and wait.....and see who’s left. 

 

But it will be a bummer to see Oliver go before our pick.

Well its clear the Bills would prefer either Williams or Oliver at 9 but if both of them are off the board its either gonna be OL, Hockenson, or Trade down, especially with news of Gary sliding because of production and medicals, Sweat having medicals as well.

well that pretty much seals it.

 

2 picks are already in according to the Twitter GM's!

 

1. Murray and 3. Oliver

 

 I'll check Ben Albright and ICB twitter now to get the remaining picks. Brb.

 

Please hurry! This is killing me!

I just tweeted this to Sal, but...

First we hear from Matt Miller that the Bills love Ed Oliver. Then we hear that the Jets "badly" want to trade down. Then we hear that the Jets are taking Oliver. I know trades with division rivals are rare, but is it crazy to think the Jets are trying to lure the Bills into trading up for Oliver?

If there was ever a season for connecting dots......THIS is it!

...NFLN featured an interview with the Williams kid...VERY impressive IMO...well grounded and detailed how he bulked up smartly when asked to do so for the positional change...

I thought the same thing. "Hey look, if you don't trade up to our pick, we're gonna take your guy."

Less than a week....C'mon already!

I saw part of that, and they also replayed the Bama/LSU game recently. WOW!

 

Almost makes you wish we’d lost a couple more games last year. (Hey! I said almost!)

Yes I think they are trying to lure someone. I don’t see Beane giving up assets to the Jersey Jests though. If they actually take Oliver, then they are passing on either Quinnen or Bosa or Allen which is kind of whack

Nobody else here wants to believe me, but Oliver's gonna bust. This is the best thing that could possibly happen for us...


I think he's more likely to HAVE a bust in Canton one day than to BE a bust, but time will tell...

That's quite the prediction for a grossly undersized defensive lineman...

 

Dude's gonna get swallowed up in the NFL, just watch.

I buy the report that the Jets are desperate to move back, they gave up picks last year - their GM has to win now and quickly and in a deep draft like this, they need as many players as they can get IMO

Bills have been connected to Oliver for a while now so probably a moot point, but I think it was Jeremiah that pegged Oliver at 3 earlier this week before Matt Miller’s report about Bills and Oliver.

I 100% believe everything I hear/see at this time of year. All of it. 

PM me! I want to tell you about my dying uncle. He lives in southern Africa. He is a Prince and has access to a ton of money.  All I need is your SS# but wouldn't want you to share it publicly. That aint safe!

Pretty good sample 

Donald is great, that doesn't mean the next guy who looks like him will be too.

 

Oliver's natural playing weight is going to be in the 270s, possibly even 260s. I'm not exaggerating when I say that he'll routinely be giving up 60-70 lbs on the guys across the LOS from him.

 

Count me out.

I'm sure you mean well, but I gotta side with the experts on this one.

It's not meaning well, it's what I'm seeing with my own eyes. Experts are wrong constantly.

 

Again, I get that I'm in the minority here, that's fine.
