eball Posted April 26, 2019 Share Posted April 26, 2019 I love this dude. Just watched the PC -- he is confident without sounding cocky, and he is sincerely happy to be a Bill. The guy literally got "bored" in college after his freshman year -- he has been waiting for this moment. So excited. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Locomark Posted April 26, 2019 Share Posted April 26, 2019 I didn't really know much about Oliver until I started seeing highlights. Sounds like a hard working talented Buffalo kind of kid and a humble god fearing type of culture fit that this team likes. Ability to start making teams fear our inside again. The kid will upgrade the position in a year or 2 over the 80% Kyle we got the last few years as Kyle was slowing down from his peak. I just hope this kid can play at a weight that allows him to hold up against guys he will be giving up 30 lbs to on every play. Kyle can mentor him on how to deal with that I hope.

ColoradoBills Posted April 26, 2019 Share Posted April 26, 2019 Less we forget having EO through the summer is going to help select the proper Bills interior OL starters.

Don't be fooled, this guy has some swagger and edge to him. It seems like a good combination and he should have every opportunity to become a leader on the defense as time goes by.

He’s got athletic chops, but he will get manhandled by OTs until he learns the position and gets stronger. I think he’s a day 3 pick.

#34fan Posted April 26, 2019 Share Posted April 26, 2019 I don't hate this pick, but I'm pumping my brakes...

Usually the “weak conference” concern comes into play when you question a prospects athleticism. Ed Oliver is an otherworldly athlete. Believe me, his toolbox is going to translate. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Now, let me give you a bit of advice. Don't do what Houston's coaches did and play him at nose tackle 65% of the time. Instead, make him a 3-tech tackle who can flex out to end, and watch him use his generational combination of power, speed, and leverage terrorize the other quarterbacks and running backs in the AFC East and beyond. Comparisons have been made to Aaron Donald, but Oliver reminds me more of Hall-of-Fame defensive tackle John Randle in his furious, unstoppable style.

Búfalo Blanco Posted April 26, 2019 Share Posted April 26, 2019 OK, finally getting in on this. Love the pick... seems like a perfect fit for Mickey D's D.... And as far as his personality goes... fine by me. Buffalo needs more fire on defense. High maintenance..? If he blows up Tom Brady a few times this year, give the man weekly diamond level pedicures and custom peeled grapes for all I care. He'll need those custom fitted coats at New Era in December. Roll out the red carpet, Terry!!! Let's go D!!!!! #1 this year, yo!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
