I don't think he panicked.

Last year Bills were going to take Eric Stokes with their first round pick and the Packers traded one spot ahead of them and grabbed Stokes.

Beane did not want history to repeat itself.

Im good with elam i just thought booth was the guy. Medicals must be bad. Beane will probably spend all night thinking how hes going to get that 4th back lol

No there are some disturbing rumours about his links off the field. Not seen anything to substantiate them but if they are true.... oh man

Yikes, I thought you were just joking. I hope he doesn't end up with a Netflix documentary as well. 

[Ralonzo]

Daxton Hill to Bengals is a nice get for them.

One things for certain the Malik Willis stuff was ALL pre draft smoke to try to get some team to bite on him

The best, most honest and hysterical comment I've ever seen from a team's leadership.    Just too funny!

Who? Kc just got Mcduffie. And 2 top 20 picks fell. The value was for Lloyd and Johnson, ahead of Elam who was projected late 1st, early 2nd.

 

Who knows but I'm not sure if pick 120 is so precious we have to keep it ahead of ensuring we get the player we want in position of need.

Unless teams needed CBs.  You just don't know.

Bill outsmarting the champs by making them spend time on prospects that wouldn't be there......Thats how PatsNHFan will spin it.....

[RocCityRoller]

Congrats Dax Hill on going in the first! I like the kid

The chiefs did and took Mcduffie. Elam wasn't a fit with other teams and the value was on Johnson and Lloyd.

Correct.  McDuffie was the other CB the Bills had with a 1st round grade.  And how do you know Elam didn't fit any team?  He can play zone or man, press, etc.

I’m really starting to like these guys

1 first round QB this year, pretty stark difference from the last few years.

I like how we talk about value based on talking heads projections of players.  It's meaningless until these guys get on the field.  I like Elam's physical traits and I trust in McDermott's and Frazier's abilities to coach him into our next lockdown corner.

[Aurelius]

Gotta like Elam.  Not only did the Bills fill their biggest need but seemingly got better at the position with an upgrade from last year.  Good move.  Next rounds will be interesting.

Bill pulled a……Bill. Thank God he thinks he’s God. Getting a real GM there would scare me. But he will retire soon enough. The man can coach, he just can’t reign in his ego. 

 

So you're saying it was a Strange pick...

True. i’m surprised there was such a big difference between his official and unofficial times. He’s a good pick.
