The issue is that Draft Class has so many Post Round 1 hits, are we going to be able to extend them all? Benford may or may not be Priority 1. All these players were Drafted in the same class and all their contracts come due at the same time. And they're all going to be pricey. James Cook Terrel Bernard Khalil Shakir Christian Benford I think you let James Cook walk and sign the other 3. I don’t think Shakir will have the volume stats to justify a huge deal. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Udubalum07 Posted Tuesday at 01:50 AM Share Posted Tuesday at 01:50 AM I thought Benford would be a developing safety when they drafted him. I thought that they would develop him behind MH as our next center fielder. Since, he and Poyer, were both college corners I thought that's what they were going for. Instead he has truly looked like a stud and the true 1st round corner that the coaches wanted Elam to be. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

27yankees Posted Tuesday at 02:17 AM Share Posted Tuesday at 02:17 AM Benford 6'1" 205 Douglas 6'2" 209 Big fast corners, I'll take two everyday. Elam needs to play with an attitude and snuff the run. He doesn't fit the Bills mantra of physicality. Can't wait to match them up with Bernard/Milano. Add Bishop to the mix. Defense wins Championships!!!! 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It doesn’t matter when you find them as much as that you find them. We have a bit of the same deal. Exactly. Fans in the Bay Area forgive the drafting of Trey Lance because of the selection of Brock Purdy. If Benford becomes an All-Pro (and he appears to be on that trajectory) I will certainly forgive the selection of Elam. And Elam's ultimate value to the Bills has still not been determined. 6 hours ago, BillsFanForever19 said: I do too.

James Cook Terrel Bernard Khalil Shakir Christian Benford One of the best Bills drafts ever and it also included Matt Araiza and Baylon Spector. Incidentally I'm loving the 2024 draft too... Beane's drafting has improved IMO. He used to always want to trade up and he's being more patient now because I think he's seen all the players he could have drafted had he simply stood pat. 2 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don’t think Shakir will have the volume stats to justify a huge deal. Idk about that. The WR market is insane and there's not a trait that drives price more than youth coming off a Rookie contract. If Gabe Davis and Darnell Mooney got 13m a year, I don't think Khalil Shakir with the skills he's been showing on National stages, coming off of his first deal - is going to be a small contract market. He's a Slot, so that could help. But it's not going to be a bargain, especially if he wants to test his market.

He hasn’t shown that much. If he produces 600-800 yards and 5-8 TDs the next couple of years that is in line with Davis and Mooney, and I guess I wouldn’t be opposed to that sort of deal. Davis and Mooney both have team-friendly outs in their contracts after 2 years, so they aren’t huge commitments. I might try to lock up Shakir for longer with maybe a smaller cap hit if possible. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He was all over the field vs Dolphins and this time PFF confirms it He is playing on an elite lever right now. I'd love Elam to be successful and on the field but Benford makes up for it. Not sure how to post photos hopefully you'll be able to see it. I predict he is top 5 in this metric by the end of the year. He's that good Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

James Cook Terrel Bernard Khalil Shakir Christian Benford I think Benford is a top of the list guy to keep. But you're right, that's a deep class. Thoughts: likely can't keep Cook if Davis shows well. Good job having a backup plan with Davis. Bernard is a shoe-in to sign, unless he keeps getting hurt. Shakir is a likely re-sign, unless some team goes bonkers to overpay him. Need to keep drafting WRs early. 14 hours ago, 27yankees said: Benford 6'1" 205 Douglas 6'2" 209 Big fast corners, I'll take two everyday. Elam needs to play with an attitude and snuff the run.

HappyDays Posted Tuesday at 09:16 PM Share Posted Tuesday at 09:16 PM His metrics are elite. Basically this chart shows him top 3 in passer rating allowed and top 8 in yards allowed per snap. You can find Sauce Gardner all the way in the bottom left. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think it is more a guy never given anything and over looked in Benford. In a true even competition he wont it clean. More a plus on Benford than negative on Elam. I think Elam starts on 15 or so defenses. His athletic ability and ball skills are still high. Benford is a more consistent player in all areas.
