Super clean fit for our scheme IMO. Put him in off coverage and let him read and react. Elite speed and can break on routes like no other CB in the class. In the modern NFL where the quick passing game is king his skill set is extremely valuable.

I kinda disagree with this, which is why I think this is one of the many signals we’re moving to more Man coverage.

 

Off Coverage only works if you’re a good tackler and can ideally play through a block. Those are the two things he’s worst at.

Elam has no elite traits.

Dude, he latches on like a grade A barnacle.

Well, we have one guy who can play man and signed 2 old guys that never could, so they play more man now?? Sure they do.

I expect either Dane or Tre to not make it out of camp.

We paid white too much for that. At the very least he’s going to be the locker room vet showing these guys the ropes.

Don’t be surprised if the Bills take another CB in this draft with man coverage skills and Dane Jackson might not make this roster

He’s an immediate starter for the bills and that’s what you want from a first rounder 

 

You may be right but what basis do you even have for saying this?  Dude hasn't taken a single snap at the next level.

Huh? Gilmore was a quiet, introvert mumbler. Don’t see it at all. 

I think it was sarcasm lol

Definitely fast. Hope the smaller frame holds up in the NFL. Go Bills!!🏈🍻

[MarlinTheMagician]

Love the pick.  Seems like a great young man, fast as hell.  Complimentary to Benford.  Let's go!

From your lips to God's ears.

Love the speed; slightly concerned about his build. Hope he can hold up to the NFL. And, if he adds bulk, it doesn't affect his pace.

See.... having Tre didn't prevent us from drafting a CB 👍

Who I really wanted. I like that missing on Elam didn't make them gun shy.

Massive liability in run support? Poor open field tackling? Shoulder injury? Needs to prove he can hold up to the rigors of the NFL?

 

Good job. Won't be starting day 1. Awesome

You’re probably really fun at parties
