transplantbillsfan Posted April 26, 2019 Share Posted April 26, 2019 (edited) This had to be expected after Detroit took Hockenson. We needed interior DL. It was our most pressing defensive need. We filled it. Awesome. Expecting Metcalf, Taylor or Irv Smith to be our next pick. Edited April 26, 2019 by transplantbillsfan Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JoPar_v2 Posted April 26, 2019 Share Posted April 26, 2019 1 minute ago, Joe in Winslow said: Enh. Are you excited with them? No and no one should. It was right to take Oliver but it may have been prudent to try to get back up into the end of 1 and get the 2nd best TE or WR in this draft. Maybe Beane did try and he had no takers. We’ll never know. But Joe is right no one should be excited about this offense and the Harry pick by NE is a dagger for me at least. Now it’s time to find a gem in the 2-3rd rounds to help Allen.

SydneyBillsFan Posted April 26, 2019 Share Posted April 26, 2019 Recap on ESPN Sportscenter: SVP: - Who is the best fit in terms of scheme and talent from this draft? Booger McFarland: - I like Ed Oliver going to Buffalo. I think when you look at Sean McDermott's defence, you get an Aaron Donald type. Not saying he's Aaron Donald, but if theres anybody in this draft that can do the same things, that can get upfield, that can play over the guard, it is Ed Oliver. Kyle Williams, a very good pass rushing defensive tackle retired, Marcell Dareus got traded away, so Buffalo needed a 3 technique inside McDermott's defence that can get up the field. They got the best one in the field in Ed Oliver. High praise indeed. 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ExWNYer Posted April 26, 2019 Share Posted April 26, 2019 4 minutes ago, Just Joshin' said: SI just rated the pick a C. How stupid to rate a draft 1 hour after a round. Agreed. I posted this in the other draft thread... Pete Prisco (for what little it's worth): 3 (Jets) Quinnen Williams, DT, Alabama I love this pick. I could make a case for Josh Allen as the Jets needed more of a pure pass rusher, but this kid will be dominant. People in the league have compared him to Reggie White, let's slow down a bit on that, but this kid is a dominating player. Grade: A 9 (Bills) Ed Oliver, DT, Houston I thought he was misused at Houston. I think this kid is going to be special at the next level. He is not Aaron Donald, I don't like that comparison. He plays a lot like John Randle and Randle was a Hall of Famer. This kid is going to be a good player for Buffalo. Grade: A 13 (Dolphins) Christian Wilkins, DT, Clemson This is my favorite pick of the entire draft so far. Love this pick. I think this kid is going to be a star. I was all over Grady Jarrett when he was picked and I think Wilkins could be even better. This is a good building block for Brian Flores and his staff. Grade: A+ 32 (Patriots) N'Keal Harry, WR, Arizona State I watched every one of his games and believe me it pains me to give this a 'C+,' but I just think there were better options. One thing when you look at the Patriots is they don't play fast outside, they needed to get faster. Maybe they expect Josh Gordon to come back at some point, but, for me I would have taken Parris Campbell or one of those guys, a faster, more athletic receiver. I don't love this pick.

I think SI will be an outlier for sure. The Bills got a player at a position of need and at value that at worst was appropriate. Some people even had Ed Oliver as the third best player in the draft or in the top 5. Overall I think most will grade this pick highly. I for sure am happy this was my best case scenario.

Grade: C+ Couldn’t agree more with that assessment - I can’t really see the Donald comparison. To that, I would liken Quinnen Williams. That being said, I much prefer the Randle in our D. Watching more of the tape his speed and strength provide an incredible opportunity for mismatches across the line. On early downs he can be effective from the interior and stout against the run as a three tech, however, while he could certainly generate pass rush from the same position I would actually entertain the idea of putting him outside at 5-tech where he can use his bullish speed/power combo to really get in the way of OTs. Needless to say I’m stoked about this one. Any one (or dare I say both with a trade up) of Risner/Butler and I’m going to have a hard time waiting for September. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
eball Posted April 26, 2019 Share Posted April 26, 2019 1 hour ago, DC Tom said: More seriously...he's fast, with a good burst, but light. No small chance he gets swallowed up by interior linemen in the pros. But on the other hand...between him and Edmunds, the Bills have some freakish athletic talent up the middle of the defense. If Oliver can use his speed to shed blocks and/or draw double-teams and make Edmunds freer to make plays, the middle of the defense could be very strong. Middle of the team: Allen/Morse/Oliver/Edmunds. Beane just might know what he is doing. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
