    All bull#### aside, I reallllly want to agree with the part that “Elam cannot possibly be this bad.” 
     

    I mean there are draft busts, but at the corner position you need speed and ball awareness. Seems like those are fairly (in the grand scheme) easy to identify how they would translate from college to pro. I’m not saying everyone will be the next Rod Woodson, but my god, he literally looks like he played the position in JV and he’s our 11th option at his position; playing emergency CB. 
     

    I’d argue “maybe he’s been hurt and the team is hiding it” but no. 
     

    Maybe it’s the NFL version of the yips? But those generally come after you’ve done anything really well. 
     

    I can’t think of a worse first round pick right now. Williams? Losman maybe? 

    You forget Bills history very quickly....   Maybin, McCargo, Flowers were worse than Elam.

    Did he break through though or did he ride Patrick Mahomes coat tails?  Don't get me wrong, I still think Reid is an excellent coach but until just very recently he was known for his post season failures.  With that said I have yet to answer the question and don't necessarily disagree with him as the choice.

    Maybe but that type of argument could be made with many coaches who have won SBs.

    Correct me if I am wrong but wasn't Andy Reid's playoff record somewhat suspect before Mahomes came to town.  His Eagles teams lost something like 3 of 4 NFC title games where they were either the favorite or a pick em and he had a couple head scratching playoff losses in KC too (The Colts comeback game comes to mind).  Reid was known for coming up short in the playoffs prior to finally breaking through because of Mahomes.

    You are correct but he has since broken through.   If you asked me in 2004, I would not have picked him
