Houston. Ed Oliver. 9. player. 16. . Defensive Tackle

The Buffalo Bills had needs on both sides of the ball entering free agency, as their offensive, and defensive lines needed to be upgraded. So far during free agency, the team has done a nice job bringing in talent along the offensive line, filling some huge holes, and giving Josh Allen the protection he needs moving forward.

Last April, the Bills traded up in the 2018 NFL Draft to get Allen, who proved down the stretch that he may end up being a very good quarterback in this league. This April, they should look to add talent to the other side of the ball, and they need to replace an absolute legend in Kyle Williams for 2019 and beyond.

Enter Ed Oliver, an incredibly talented defensive tackle that could fall a bit in round one due to some issues during his last year at Houston in 2018. When the draft season began, Oliver was listed as arguably the best overall talent in the class, and while he has fallen a bit, he should not fall out of the top-10.

For the Bills, Oliver would slide into the spot vacated by Williams, who was beloved by Bills Mafia during his 13 years with the team. When it comes to this draft class, Oliver is one of those guys who can step in and be an impact player in year one, and this Bills team is starting to look like one that could make some serious noise in the AFC next season.
