The Buffalo Bills got their man. With rumors swirling about Buffalo wanting to trade up and the Jets being interested in selecting him at three overall ultimately Buffalo stayed put.
Ed Oliver is headed to the Bills. Houston's stud defensive lineman is set to terrorize the AFC East joining a defense that ranked second in total defense last year.
