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?
