Agreed 💯 I was pissed when I heard Elams name called. I REALLY wanted Booth. I thought Jermaine Johnson was the BPA and would’ve been ok using another major resource on DE, but didn’t think we would realistically draft him. Christian Watson or Kyler Gordon wouldn’t have upset me. I didn’t like Elams run d or his handsy approach. I didn’t like that he didn’t have a good 2021 season. I loved his press man ability, size and speed. We didn’t have a corner that had that package. All of our corners were average sized and not very fast. Thinking that his addition would allow us to become more multiple in our defensive play calls. i officially came around to the pick 1.5 hours after the selection. My father did a great job.

But is he worth 2.5M?

I don’t think price should be considered a “one year” wonder, If he is, than I’d consider him the best. His one year was much better than Karlos’ best and yielded us a 1st rd pick. The legend of Kiko would certainly be up there imo. Dude was a bum everywhere he went after his one good year with us. Maybe not an entire year, but Trent Edwards had us thinking he could be our franchise QB Mike Gillislees stand out year yielded us Matt Milano iirc. Butler was a very good WR for 3 seasons iirc Bell was good in his first 2 seasons before his injury and we were able to trade him for Bennett.

Oh….. yeah. He kicked her in the back?

If there’s no guaranteed money, sure. If they don’t sign one, they’re happy with what they have and likely expect Tre’Mendious to play week 1

Edited: Dude shoved a girl twice then kicked her in the back, gets cut and signed by another team that gave him a 2 year 13.5M contract, then misses half the year with calf and ankle injuries…..then wants more money. Sheeeesh

Lol same. Had to mute the voices too. I think they started the video a few minutes after the play I’m looking for. Thanks for trying though! It’s appreciated

Yeah….. we didn’t have corners with any height or speed…… elam has both height and speed. it’s not like Tyreek hill is the only player in the league we’re trying to defend….. you can talk about the context of the conversation….but McB drafted in the context of the next 5-10 years. They added a type of corner that we didn’t have. One with height, speed and the ability to play press man. They have enough confidence in their coaching and scheme where they can teach the press man corner how to play their zone. he wasn’t my favorite pick…..I wanted booth. But I understand why they drafted him. Physically and mentally, he’s a fit.

I thought I read cook took a crossing route to the house. That’s the play I’m looking for. I was skipping through that video 10 seconds at a time and didn’t see it. Maybe I heard wrong or missed it?

Yes….and we addressed the pass rush. We didn’t have any corners with any speed. We had to play off because they were afraid of getting beat deep. we didn’t have any corners with any height. we added one with both.

Again……do you consider the 2nd rd a mid round pick? Or is round 3 the only mid round pick? Not sure what this has to do with my post. I didn’t say anything bad about Elam in this post did I? my point was, they traded up for the last player they had with a first rd grade….which also happened to be a position of need. If they only wanted a cb, there were still other graded cbs available. They didn’t have to trade up, but they wanted this player…..not JUST a CB. If Elam was gone and there weren’t any other 1st rd graded players left, I’m not convinced that they would’ve taken their highest rated corner. Maybe….. maybe not. We’ll never know. But Scott knows, I’m sure

I don’t think we’ll ever see the James Cook TD catch 😢 but I’ll get over in the next 1.5 hours. My male authority figure did a fine job while I was growing up

He was listed as the #1 value ever….

Just noticed Slaytons 2.5m cap hit. If trading for him will add 2.5M to the cap, pass. Hope he gets waived and sign him

There were still good corners on the board when they traded up. Many had 1st rd grades on Andrew Booth and Kyler Gordon. Many saw Dax Hill as a 1st rd corner. Some had Mccreary. look at the non corners drafted after Elam. Who could we have taken? We weren’t taking jermaine Johnson or Karlaftis after how we spent on DL. Wyatt is a 3T like Ed, that wasn’t happening. We weren’t taking a S LB, or C imo, due to positional value. Breece Hall? Poor positional value. Other than another CB, Watson, Pickens and Tyler Smith were to only guys I could’ve seen as our pick. Or we could’ve went with Dane Jackson and cheap free agents with hopes Tre’Davious made it back after watching our corners get torched relentlessly in season ending losses to KC 2 years in a row. Offense didn’t end our season. Our defense and coaching did.

#1 value pick is easily Josh Allen #7 overall. Jim Kelly #14 is up there. your list is great though

I know. It was sarcasm Seriously!! We need real men who’s fathers taught them right. No mommas boys!!

If that loss to KC wasn’t out of their mind 1.5 hours after the game their male father figures should’ve taught them better. Common problem with mama's boys is they tend to have a bad mix of elevated female emotion(a purposeful trait for a mother) and the male desire for results. We’re screwed if this loss this bothers them.

Do you consider a 2nd rd pick to be mid round? By your comment you consider rd 2 and 3 picks mid round. I agree about rd 3. Not round 2. I consider a mid round pick any pick not in the first 2 rounds or the last 2 rounds. The middle rounds of the draft….. not the middle day….. the middle rounds

I’d trade a 7th for him.

If I stand corrected, so be it. Apologies for being uninformed. One thing I will NOT do, EVER again, is click on a Sully article. I’ll read what people snippet here, nothing more

Did you not read what the OP said? What he bolded and commented on makes sense to you huh? Do you agree with sully’s sentiment?

No…… this is wrong. you don’t get it. this is entertainment. You’re making it more than it is. Maybe one day you’ll understand like I do.
