I didn’t read this whole thread,,  is Elam the biggest bust draft pick on Beane’s resume?

 

Probably. At least we got some starts out of Cody Ford, and Basham was a second rounder.

Buffalo's last look at him will be him clinging to the plane as it takes off for Dallas.

Thanks Jerry!

They couldn't be reached for comment because Mike Williams ate both of them.

I’ll be honest, I didn’t even think he was tradeable. Getting anything is a manor W for the Bills. What a massive bust

Cody was a second-rounder who is still in the league. He just resigned with Cincinnati.

Sucks that he was a bust for us. At least we got something for him. I feel like he had some good moments. Dunno why he didn't bloom.

The amazing thing about this situation is that the Bills actually traded UP in round one to draft this cornerback. Then again, maybe it wasn't so amazing.

Pitiful nonetheless.

They were definitely chasing need that year and got burned.  

[Buffalo Ballin]

We actually won a trade. We needed more picks in our stable.

Because corner especially in McDermott system, takes as much brain as physical talent 

 

His processing never came to full speed

I'm confused... is he still in the league or not?

[Rocky Landing]

A fan favorite. He'll be sorely missed.

The future seventh round pick is just perfect. It’s like they haggled back and forth. Dallas offered a fifth for Elam and a sixth. Buffalo countered with needing that seventh.  That was too rich for Dallas’s blood, so they settled for a future seventh. The art of the deal, folks.

He’s my great uncle (for real). Well he was, anyway.

You're letting Beane off the hook here. 

 

Getting a 5th in return for a 1st round pick is no wizardry.

1st and 4th. We traded a fourth to move up to draft him.
