My untrained eye liked Booth and Gordon better, but if Beane thinks Elam is better, I trust him.

I’m guessing Baltimore had someone else on the line as leverage and Buffalo had reason to believe TeamX was taking him. 

 

Or they played the old ring Buffalo and say "look we like a corner... if we make this pick that is what we are taking.... but if you want to come up for a 4th round pick...."

He must've been the only remaining CB they had an R1 grade on.

If Dallas wanted him it explains the trade up.

 

fair point.   but I think Booth is better or just as good so no reason to jump dallas.  Elam does not scream stud.

I mean Gabe Davis was a 4th round pick at 128.    That's potentially what we just gave up.

Let me know how many 6th rounders turned out to be HOFers like Brady.

[DallasMac]

Preferred Booth but I don't hate the pick.  Feel like they had the option to stay put.

[RyanC883]

whats wrong with the fsu DE that no one has taken him??

Actually his weakness is tackling. 

So was Levi Wallace's

That's like being upset about giving up a 6th rounder bc that's where TB was drafted. You go get the  players you believe in.

I mean, Deion Sanders was a 1st round pick. That’s potentially who we just drafted.

 

Am I doing this right?

 

I bet you were pissed when we traded up for Allen, huh?

Ok for the unlikely chance they didn't get him, there's Booth, Kyler Gordon available?

 

If they liked those guys as much as Elam they wouldn't have traded up. So they must have been pretty convinced that Elam was the best choice and didn't want to lose him.

We do this every year. There is a specific thread to talk about the bills pack. There’s no need to weave that into a generic topic. Please post Bills stuff on the first round pick in the appropriate place.

A 5th, 2 6ths and a 7th.. wouldn’t be surprised if we’re not still drafting in the 4th.

like u have one either.  He is a poor tackler. Not worth trading 2 spots for a poor tackling Cb with bad int numbers

Like I said, you don’t have a clue, probably hated the Allen pick too…

Booth’s medicals may be poor. Beane gets antsy, it’s maybe a weakness of him but Elam will be much better in McD’s zone scheme then what he was playing in college
